It'd be great if there was a site where you could look over other sites using DISQUS.

Ahh, it was such a great time. I've got some funny photos I'll upload as well and share with the unlucky folks who didn't attend!

Re: Parents Following Kids to College by Buying Second Homes

Definitely. Jeremy has some great properties up there and his finger on the pulse of what's available. He just emailed me today with some great condos that have become available.

As for parents following their kids to college, I personally think that's ridiculous. They'll never be ready to be on their own. College is a good training ground for beginning to be independent with the safety still on. If your parents live in town with you, you'll never get that.

Well, the back history sure does help the story and makes it even more funny! I hate Google Suggest...

Re: What happens if there is a tie in the Presidential electoral vote?

Marty Martin — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 14:48:06 -0000

That's an interesting question! Interesting enough that I did some research. Here's a good explanation of what happens- http://www.huffingtonpost.c...

Of course, your question may be rhetorical but this saves others from having to do the research too! :o)

Re: A Lesson to Deadbeat Clients: Why you should never, never rip off an SEO

Marty Martin — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 12:08:07 -0000

I always always try to get payment up front, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way so I find that taking some sort of collateral works good too, but make sure it's something you wouldn't mind keeping if they don't pay or would be easy to sell. In-kind exchanges are nice too. Maybe your rug people can't pay you, but you could give out custom rugs for the holidays? :o) Try to work with these people, do they have something of value to you? Cash is always best but sometimes customers do have legitimate cash flow problems (granted, they shouldn't be contracting with you unless they can pay, but somehow you've got to get value out of the deal). That was a long ramble but good luck, it can be frustrating but take your friends' advice and save your own reputation by keeping it at the rant-level. :)

Disqus is so freakin awesome. I love it! Been using it myself for several months on multiple blogs. I love the social feel it brings into the site.

I think what you meant to say was "split" but I hope you don't have a spit personality either :P

Re: Why #1 isn’t necessary

Marty Martin — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 12:38:39 -0000

It is splitting hairs and they both go hand and hand. One without the other is pointless and you even pointed out "visibility" as a defining trait of SEM which ties into SEO. ;) I think we both agree on your last sentence!

Really? I've used Seesmic and it's still too buggy for me to dump Tweetdeck and has a couple of features missing I like in Tweetdeck.

Re: Facebookers Changing Profile Pics to Cartoon Characters to Fight Child Abuse

Marty Martin — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 10:46:39 -0000

This is stupid. How about contacting your local legislators and ask for more serious penalties, higher mandatory minimum sentences or reinstate the death penalty for these cases. That would be more effective than changing your asinine Facebook profile picture to a cartoon. Get real people.

Re: Meta Box Script For WordPress

Marty Martin — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 17:01:11 -0000

I'm trying to extend the functionality of your (amazing) class script here. I'm using it with custom post types to create a WP directory.

I'm trying to add an "on/off" checkbox I can use to control whether an item shows up in my template before I call the actual function to display the meta data. (I know I could just check whether the field has a value, but I'd rather be able to save the data in case I want to reuse it later and just turn it off with the checkbox).

Not sure if what I'm doing here is right or not but here's what I have so far-
