HeyQuiz Says My Cat Is Going To Kill Me 2008-11-15 02:00:03 Well, I found yet another quiz site that has requested my email address at the end of the quiz, however this time I found a way to get the results without giving them anything. Here's how I did it, so you can too. The site HeyQuiz.com gives a whole bunch of quizzes, but like the BoredQuiz I tried, they ask for an email address before giving you the results of the quiz. However, when I Read more:Going
I Hate Nature 2008-11-13 23:28:28 Sit back and relax and enjoy the views of nature that spew forth from this little ditty. I don't know where it came from, but I can only thank IceQueen057 on Stumble for pointing it out to me. If you like this, I would suggest following her on Stumble. I stole the embed code for the video from Slim Slow Slider, and I can only say that I'm glad I did, I've never laughed so damn hard at
Blogger.com Help - Lesson 20 - Pick New Template Layout 2008-11-13 02:00:34 Using the Blogger
interface to pick a new template layout couldn't be any more simple. This page is by far the easiest to understand, and perhaps one you might never look at again after establishing your blog. However, there may come a time when you want to give your blog a new look. On this page you can do just that. Note to new visitors! If you would like to know more ab
Proposition 8 and Human Rights 2008-11-13 00:45:40 Given the recent passing of Proposition
8 here in California, I feel compelled to post this MSNBC video since it speaks to the questions that I have as well about how this might happen. I don't understand, and I'm trying to. I too am not gay, but I stand with every single one of my gay friends and those I don't know until they get equal treatment. How do you feel about this? Are you Read more:Rights
Introduction to HTML Div Tags 2008-11-11 23:44:51 What is a div tag? Do you know? Most likely your blog is arranged and structured by using 'div tags'. Divs are nothing more than boxes on a 2 dimensional surface that can either contain information or other divs and objects. If you look at my blog, you will see that it's pretty 'boxy'. Boxy, but good. There are about 30 to 40 div tags that comprise the entire Read more:Introduction
Blogger.com Help - Lesson 19 - Edit HTML Layout 2008-11-11 02:00:11 There will come a time for those that really get into using Blogger
that they'll want to modify and manipulate their blogger template to do things a little differently than the standard templates provide by default. Perhaps you want to switch your standard Blogger theme to a custom theme that was built by someone else. Maybe you want to create your own template, or perhaps make some si
New Photo Gallery and Alaska Cruise Videos 2008-11-09 11:53:46 I just completed setting up a photo gallery on my site using a BlogEngine extension written by Danny Douglass. It was quite easy due to BlogEngine's extension architecture. I'd love to hear what you think about it. Due to the photo gallery extension having direct ties to pulling images off Flickr, I decided to create a Flickr pro account to use exclusively for my photo needs. If Read more:Alaska

Friends are Great People 2008-11-07 10:39:17 Signe at SigneSays has presented me with a friendship award. It's the Proximidade Award. She tells me that "This blog invests and believes, in 'proximity' [meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' - being close through proxy]. These blogs are all charming and they aim to show the marvels of friendship. Lets give more attention to them!" So with this prize we must deliver it to eight bloggers who in Read more:Friends

Barack Obama Wins! 2008-11-05 00:40:17 Today I witnessed what I can only describe as inspiring. Truly inspiring. As the news came out, and we learned that BarackObama
has become President Elect, I became filled with hope again. For most of my life I have wondered why America hasn't done anything as reparation for the years of slavery that generations have had to endure. For the generations of ridicule and demeaning a Read more:Barack Obama
Don't Read This - Go Vote Instead! 2008-11-04 02:00:05 Alright, the time is here for all citizens of America to get out to the voting booth and cast your ballots for country, state and local measures. Oh, yeah, let's not forget a vote for who you want to be president as well! This election cycle has seen many, many differences of opinion, historical nominations for President and Vice President offices, as well as record numbers of people registe Read more:Instead
Thoughts in Time and Out of Season 2008-12-11 02:00:17 It's not easy to write consistently every day and have something useful to say each time. We each share a little in that dilemma. To combat that, I thought I'd leave my blogging tool up for a day and jot down any passing thoughts. I'm also tossing in a few links that I think many of my readers might like to know of. As for the random thoughts, any thought will do, I don't mind.& Read more:Season
Santa Claus is Coming to Town 2008-12-09 02:00:51 I've been hesitant to really promote any products on my site because I really do like to use the products before I sell them. I need to believe in them. My recent post on Where is SantaClaus
Right Now? was perfect. They have the one thing that is so rare, the ability to create a memory for your child or one you know of. Sending a letter to Santa is important to children, r Read more:Santa Claus
A Modern Parable for Corporate America 2008-12-08 13:45:29 I received this in my email today and thought about trying to track down where the source of it is, but being that I really don't have time at this particular moment, having a fondness for being particularly lazy right now, and knowing that if anyone out there knows of the source they would surely help and provide that info in the comments, I'm not going to stress over it though. It's my belief th Read more:America

Using Social Submitter to Promote Your Posts 2008-12-06 02:00:30 I've been a bad little social whore. With the number of social sites popping up each week, I've been pondering how one might start using these sites to help promote your own site without becoming buried by the sheer number of them. In this post, I'm speaking directly to those sites that allow you to place a "bookmark" on them. A bookmark is really no different t Read more:Promote

Where Is Santa Claus Right Now? 2008-12-04 02:00:09 Do you know where SantaClaus
is right now? Of course you do, he's up at the North Pole preparing for his big journey happening later this month. Each year Santa loads up his sleigh with toys and presents for all the good little boys and girls. I can only assume that his reindeer are also quite excited about this time of year as well as they don't seem to mind lugging around a big jol Read more:Right

Sleeping Bulldog 2008-12-04 00:24:15 Ok, I was just over at Stuck in the Sticks and just about died laughing when I saw this video. I hope Tiffany doesn't mind me posting this also, but she found something that just made me burst. Please give Tiffany a visit and a comment, she deserves more for finding this little gem. Ryan, you need to watch this one, Gary, you need to wait for it! SleepingBulldog
Clive Barker - My favorite author 2008-12-03 02:00:16 You've probably seen that I've added the current book I'm reading to my sidebar. It's my attempt to make Amazon work for me a little by trying to promote an author that I love to read. CliveBarker
is my number one read. Ever since I first picked up and read Weaveworld, I've been sucked in to Mr. Barker's writing. Clive Barker

Navigating the Blogger Administration Interface 2008-12-01 02:00:55 Making the most of your Blogger
blog isn't easy for the beginning blogger. There is a lot to learn and know.

7 Things You Didn't Know About Me Meme 2008-11-30 13:23:45 Heinous over at Irregularly Periodic Ruminations tagged me for the 7 things meme. Hmm...seems that I've been struck with a duplicate meme, but there are really many things that people don't know about me, so I'll give it another go. You can't say I don't play along if I do right? haha Anyway, The rules (in convenient jpg format!) Let's see if I can come up with seven things.
