Fellow Bloggers and Blog Readers

Posted by tata on Sunday Nov 9, 2008 Under blogs, web tools

For several months now, Feedburner has not emailed my blog posts to my subscribers. I have requested help at the Google help group - as have literally dozens of others - with no resolution. So I wanted to suggest to my readers that wanted the posts in their inbox try out Feed My Inbox. No sign up is required, just confirm your subscription by email. I’m trying the service out, too and will let you know if I encounter any problems.

For bloggers, there is a service I just discovered (thanks to Tampa Pirate) that may drive some new traffic to your blog. rssHugger is essentially a blog directory wherein all feeds have a fair shot at being in the Top 100 since the feeds are all reset at the beginning of each month. Check it out!

How YOU doin’?!

Posted by tata on Tuesday Aug 19, 2008 Under Crafts
Husband made these absolutely beautiful and equally delectable Philly Cheese Steaks the other afternoon and it was my intention to post pictures of them.

This sweet gal on Plurk sent me some sock yarn and I wanted to post pictures and a big thank you to her. Update: I did here.

The MeiMei’s I ordered on ebay arrived yesterday and natch, I wanted to share my joy with you by posting pictures. Update: I did here.

I started the amigurumi pig in honor of Blog the Recession and the cozy for my iPod, as I mentioned the other day.

Alas, I have been otherwise occupied.

Operation Aborted

Posted by tata on Saturday Aug 2, 2008 Under blogs, websites
I finally decided enough is enough. I tracked down the cause (and removed the code) of the black and white images in Internet Explorer. However, when I opened IE to check that the pictures are, in fact, not in black and white anymore, I discovered another problem. Shit!

I received an error code.

Internet explorer cannot open website http://www.imnotbeautifullikeyou.com/.
Operation Aborted.
What in bloody hell!?!!?!? One step forward, two steps backwards and all that jazz. I even double and triple checked the sites on Husband’s and Joy’s computers. None worked. So, Google!
Sure enough, I found others with the same problem - Operation Aborted. And they started reporting the problem just last night! Luckily, one of the group members was able to figure out the problem and was kind enough to share with the rest of us: Site Meter. After removing the code, all of our problems were solved. If you are having similar issues, I suggest you do the same.

While we’re all here, I will go ahead and mention an update I forgot to mention in yesterday’s post I Follow. If you are using Firefox (as well you should be!), you might notice the scrolling rainbow in the bottom right-hand side of your screen. Click this at anytime and you will be returned to the top of the page. If you are using IE, well, it’s near the bottom somewhere in the middle. If you are using something else entirely, I have no idea what it might look like on your screen, sorry.

And remember, only 5 days left to cast your votes!
