It works it works! I did finally figure out how to add the AddThis! social bookmarking chicklet to every post over at my Blogger blog. Terrific!
I’ve also been tinkering for hours on this blog, trying to get the settings just right. Things still aren’t perfect. There is a lot I have to so; some of [...]

I have been trying for a few hours to get social bookmarking html code inserted into my Blogger blog, to no avail. It is at the point of driving me crazy and I am really to run screaming around the house. This means it is time to quit trying before I pop. It was sooo [...]

I am feeling a satisfied sense of accomplishment right now, mingled with a dash of exhaustion. I posted three blog entries on our latest travels! It was an impromptu trip. Not too bad for a quickie outing.
We visited Cooperstown, then the Fly Creek Cider Mill, and finally Baker’s Beach along Route 28.
It’s a good thing [...]

I hate Captcha. You know what it is– that “code” that you have to enter into website forms to “verify” everything. I know spam is a problem, but Captcha is a terrible solution!
Everytime I want to fill a form, I come to the Captcha squiggles and cannot decipher what is there. I have poor eyesight, [...]

Remember that old phrase? I think it was the title to an old Richard Chamberlain TV miniseries. It is actually an old nursery rhyme.
It’s how I feel about myself working on this blog right now. Maybe I just shouldn’t bother working on design when I am tired (and I am tired). I opened up Internet [...]

You may notice (and there ARE two or three of you out there who have discovered this blog, even though I haven’t had my “Open House” yet) that I’ve imported some of my oldest posts from the old blog. I have removed them from the old blog, too.
I want to get all the old content– [...]

I am very happy that IKEA (PayPerPost’s new name) has taken the initiative about the Google Page Rank fiasco. I read this at their blog today:
Tomorrow, fingers and toes crossed, we’ll be calculating RealRanks for all PayPerPost users that have ITK (PPP Tools) installed. We’ll be displaying your RealRanks to you inside PayPerPost.com.
At the same [...]

I plan to soon import my traveling journals from my Blogger New York Traveler. Wordpress makes it extremely easy to do so. However, having duplicate content across two or more blogs is actually harmful to your search ranking. Therefore I am holding off until I am ready to make the “big leap” from there to [...]

I’m trying a web hosting service out of Texas, Whip An Orbit. Funny name. I’d heard about them from Kim C. at Life in a Shoe. She recently dumped Blogger for a self-hosted Wordpress, as well.
I’ve been pretty impressed with Whip An Orbit. When I ran into a problem trying to access my new account, [...]

I am still very much building this blog. I know it will take months to rebuild it to the heights I attained at the Blogger blog. Many bloggy-linky places are hesitant to commit to your blog until you are “established.” This new blog is going to replace the old one, plus I have already paid [...]

I’m not unhappy with Wordpress. I love Wordpress!
I am very unhappy with Google and their stupid Page Rank. My New York Traveler blog over at Blogger is still rock-bottom at ZERO. Google says no one is interested in my blog! Google says no one links to my blog!
Google is lying. People love my blog and [...]
