Re: MyBlogLog New Features – The Abusive and the Incomplete

Cary — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 11:37:28 -0000

The mass-mailing issue gets particularly dicey when you consider that, on at least a few occasions, MyBlogLog has *automatically* added me to a Community just because I visited a site that was using their service.

Does that mean what I think it means?

Yikes.

I haven't received any untoward mass mailings yet, but it was sure thoughtful of MyBlogLog to add me to someone's potential spam list without my knowledge or consent.

How about just backing up onto a DVD-R? Works well for me, and allows you to keep an off-site copy, too!

Doh!

Yes, you might want to check your own spelling before correcting someone else's...

It's "grammar," not "grammer."

;D

Re: Using Keywords

Cary — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 16:03:34 -0000

So true, so true...I personally spend absolutely zero effort in picking keywords, etc, and try to just write good content.

It really is amazing how some people will find their way to your site, though...I've seen search phrases in my stats that literally had me rolling on the floor :)

Hey...thanks for the fix!

I believe you are looking for this page on section targeting:

I've made use of it on all of my blogs and it works quite well once it kicks in.

Hope that helps :)

Re: Bad Behavior

Cary — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 19:13:32 -0000

Gawd I hate spam...I don't think you'll have any problem with Bad Behavior -- I've been using it along side Spam Karma 2 for some time now, and I've never had anyone complain that they were being blocked, so I think you'll be OK.

Good luck though!

"So, you see, these people who are here illegally have something to hide, and are not in our country with the pure intent of immigrating."

Wow...I'm not a big fan of illegal immigration, but that's got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

Your suggestion that this one illegal immigrant's case somehow proves that ALL of those who immigrate without going through the legal process are evil, is just stupid beyond words.

Mass generalizations are almost always worthless...this one certainly is.

Hey, the mystery of my good friends at b5media aside, your new blog design looks great!

Hehehe... you just made my night :D

That's got to be one of the funniest photos I've ever seen.

Re: Blog Herald Paint Job and My New Gig

Cary — Sun, 18 Jun 2006 20:13:06 -0000

Hehe... watch out -- Scrivs might accuse you of blogging in too many places at once ;D

Gawd knows that none of us regular folks are adept at multi-tasking [what was he thinking?]

Seriously though, good luck at your new digs. It will be nice to see The Blog Herald getting back to its glory days of *gasp* blogging! -- knock on wood!

We've got faith in you, brutha. Keep up the good work. I'm enjoying your work on ProBlogger too. Your writing voice is a good match to Darren's.

Re: San Francisco: 24 Hours In

Cary — Fri, 04 Aug 2006 13:45:46 -0000

Hey Aaron, glad to hear you're having a good time... I was in SF yesterday and the weather was beautiful though the air was a lot browner than usual

*cough!*

I'm going to do my best to make it to WordCamp (I live in Sacramento,) so maybe I'll see you there.

Have fun, and one little tip: if you want to catch a Cable Car, but don't want to wait in those terrible lines, just walk up the track a bit. Maybe a block or two.

You can get on anywhere the car stops, not just at the end of the track.

For some reason tourists always line up in this massive line at the end of the track...

You still have to pay though ;)

See ya at WC!

Re: c64 games online

Cary — Sat, 04 Feb 2006 19:24:42 -0000

Great find, Duncan...I've never heard of an Amstrad, but I did have a C64. My favorite game was called Ghosts n' Goblins. Unfortunately it doesn't look like they have it yet.

Uggh! This could eat up so many hours of my time! ;D

Re: Going down the Full Feed path.

Cary — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 02:01:45 -0000

After all the talk of partial feeds I'd be interested in knowing why you've had a change of heart... I'm still finding a few sites every week that are ripping my stuff, so I hate the idea of giving them access to full feeds...I'd love to be able to give it to my legitimate readers, though.

Re: The Different Viewpoints on Plagiarism

Cary — Wed, 14 Sep 2005 18:24:44 -0000

Great write-up...I followed those comments as they were happening, and it was definitely getting hot in there. You've done a really excellent job of summarizing what was a rather covoluted conversation in the first place.

It's funny, too. I got home yesterday after a long day of following all this talk about content theft only to find that someone had stolen my whole site...literally!

Too much ;)

Hey, I'm right in the middle of trying to get back in shape myself. More power to ya'! You're a brave man to be posting photos...

I don't think I could *stomach* it ; )

Re: Top 10 Albums of 2006

Cary — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 12:08:14 -0000

Mmmmm, Stadium Arcadium. This was the album that really got me jazzed about playing guitar again.

Frusciante's guitar work just astounds me.

Strangely enough it's the least funky of the tunes, "Slow Cheetah," that I love the most. That and "Strip My Mind."

Their live show was incredible, and yeah, the only low point was that Anthony just isn't that great of a singer live, though he made up for it with pure energy :)

Re: Site Down Time

Cary — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 17:16:21 -0000

Hey, good luck with the move... it's truly amazing when a hosting company just plain refuses to make contact with a customer, and unfortunately it seems to happen a lot.

I've recently moved a bunch of my sites over to A Small Orange, and so far they've been great, but my experience with other hosts has left me a bit paranoid now ; )

Anyways, hope it all goes smoothly!

Re: Bloglines vs. Feedburner

Cary — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 23:06:45 -0000

Hi : )

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but I had this same problem with bloglines last week and they fixed it quick...only to have it happen again a couple of days later. Right now my bloglines is totally out of date, and basically useless. I am glad to hear, however, that it isn't only me...I know, I'm selfish ; )

Please keep us up to date if yours stays fixed. I hope it does!
