Akismet Bug
I updated my Akismet plugin software, and weird things have been happening. On one blog, the plugin disappeared completely! Where’d it go!? On the other blogs, I can no longer “Delete All.”
My heart stopped and I wondered if I was having hosting problems (AGAIN). But a quick check at the Wordpress forums showed that [...]
Deleted From the Internet
It’s a long-standing joke about Google controlling so much of the Internet that they just may delete it, someday. They actually did (accidentally) delete their own blog a few months ago, amidst much snickering.

But what if Google removes [...]
Shared Web Hosting from Concentric
I am keeping my eyes peeled for shared web hosting businesses. I’m looking for better service (if you read my blogs, you know what problems I have with my current web host), and I hope to compile a list of hosting companies, as a handy resource.
I have just discovered a company, Concentric at Concentric.com, [...]
Be Still My Heart
Well, I had a wild ride today. I have blogs on three different web hosts, and two of them had massive problems today. The first one, hosted by Bluehost, has a screwed up htaccess file that had us all puzzled for a while. The second one, hosted by Whip an Orbit, has seen so much [...]
A Blogger BackUp Tool
You’ve heard it said again and again and AGAIN. Lose the weight or get on diet pills. No no– kidding! What you’ve really heard it said over and over again is always BACK UP YOUR BLOG! This is so important. A fellow blogger recently lamented that she tried to update to Wordpress 2.6, but something [...]
Spam Spam Spam
Holy cow, I’ve been absolutely INUNDATED with spam these days. Have you? It is agony to sift through thousands of spam caught by Akismet, and I have five Wordpress blogs with it. Wow. It’s like a really bad case of acne!
So I am very, very sorry if your comments never make it to the [...]
The Entrecard Toolbar
I don’t have Entrecard on this blog, but I do have it for my five other blogs, lol! I can only drop SO many cards, ya know? But because this is a computer blog, and because I do like Entrecard and what it has done for blogging, I like to mention it here from time [...]
Internet Monopolies
This blogger’s story about how his Page Rank 9 blog was hacked and removed from Google’s index shows the power of Google to essentially wipe out a guy’s work.
Yesterday was one of the scariest days I’ve had in a long time and it put in total perspective the power that Google wields. It also [...]
WordPress 2.6 Is Here!
I CAN’T believe that Wordpress already ha a new version. What is it, a new one every two or three months?? I have a lot of blogs, so it is quite a bit of work for me.
However, WordPress 2.6 looks smashing. I found this video explaining some new developments. I am going to enjoy [...]
Government, According to Dear Abby
My grandparents used to love reading the Dear Abby columns. Her columns were syndicated in our local newspaper, tucked between the comics, the television listings, and colorful ads for office supplies. I don’t think her advice was always wholesome, but it certainly was always entertaining. I saw this at a blog, and had to pass [...]
Google Maps Gone Wrong!
Ackk!!! We all wondered if this was inevitable! They’re watching us through our windows, through our computers, through our CAT5e Internet connections!!! LOL! I’m kidding, of course. Well, I hope I’m kidding. I found this online– watch this terrific video– well done and very humorous take on the Google gods. Let’s just hope this never [...]

AWSOM Archives Wordpress Plugin
I have seen this plugin at work on many blogs, and it is indeed awesome! I am going to be uploading it and using it myself, soon. It’s the AWSOM plugin. It creates a drop down menu of all your archives, by title. I have seen others using it and I love it! I am [...]
I’m FLOORED!
I have a wonderful friend, Fida Abbott. She runs a really beautiful blog. I am overwhelmed by how sweet and precious this woman is. She came from Indonesia and moved to Pennsylvania with her husband– what a devoted wife! And she is beautiful, too. She has a very special place in my heart. When I [...]
Zookoda Email for Your Blog
Got a blog? Got readers? I have several blogs, and many readers, yay! I haven’t been too astute about providing easy means of accessing my content for my readers, however. I have RSS feed for some, but setting up RSS accounts is a real pain to do (and when the blog or blog server is [...]
