TTLB Ecosystem Outta Whack
My friend, Leanne did it best when she put the following on her site: The TTLB Ecosystem is so OUTTA WHACK, I deleted the code! That about sums it up. And this post will probably make me A Very Unpopular Blogger in the TTLB Ecosystem Ahh well. Can’t let the trivialities of life get’cha down. My current gripes with it: 1 – If you put their default javascript on your page, inevitably your site will take forever to load while it waits for the data from TTLB’s servers. Not everyday – – but a high percentage of the time. So, […]
SXSW & Me
I‘m headed to the SXSW Interactive in March, 2006. I’ve heard about it. Read about it. Thought briefly once about going – but you know, life does get in the way of fun quite often. This time, I’m going – and with a purpose, even! E.Webscapes has been invited to be a part of the panel for best blog design practices at the SXSW Interactive conference on March 11 in Austin, TX. Susannah Gardener of Hop Studios is organizing the panel, and is a participant herself. She is a designer and an author, having authored Buzz Marketing with Blogs for […]

My blog is worth $208,315.26.How much is your blog worth? Nabbed this lil’ thing from my fellow Wisconsinite Sean, whose blog is worth a whopping $0.00.

Now. If only I could cash in!
Blog Time Out
No, I’m not taking a time out from my blog (sorry, Fred). This is about your blog timing out when you’re trying to make a post, or at the very least — having to waaaaiiiitttt forever after you click the “Publish” button for your post to actually do just that – publish. Doesn’t matter if you’re using WordPress, Moveable Type – or any other blogging platform that allows you to ping services when you make a new post. Those ping services can be GREAT! Your blog gets annotated on many lists (like blogrolling.com) – so that the WHOLE world knows […]

Distracted
Three more days to go on the meds. Really, this shit makes me edgy as all get out. Am I whining? Hell yes I am! Still unknowing of what caused this creeping crud to begin with, I’m worried that when I’m done with the meds in 3 days – it will come back – and it will be all pissed off. My own family has been avoiding me because of the edginess. Not that I can blame them – – poor folk. However, the man and kids went shopping yesterday and brought home a beautiful bouquet of tulips. I adore […]
iPod Crazy
I’ve seen quite a few bloggers blegging for signups for this free iPod giveaway. Cool, fun idea — if this household didn’t already have three of them. But hey – if ya don’t have one . . . you should give it a try. So far, I’ve read of about 5 bloggers who have actually gotten a free one.
