Added: Avatars!

One of the very few complaints I have about Squarespace is the lack of robust user profiles. While free platforms such as WordPress and vBulletin offer numerous methods for registered users of the hosted website to personalize their profiles and interact each other, Squarespace is very limited in this area. This is when hacks come […]

Site Re-Design

I worked on a new layout over the weekend…what do you think? The only major difference is the location of my Private Posts. Upon login, the link is now located at the top navigation bar: This is what the site used to look like before, with the Private Posts link circled on the left: A […]

Google Knows Me

If you have a Google Profile and you’re signed into your account, try doing a Google search for the word “me.” Your profile shows up as the first result! How freakin cool (and stalkerish) is that? Via The Steve Rubel Lifestream. Some people would never share their full name on their blog. I no longer […]

A Sheepish Hello

I think that may have been the longest time I’ve gone AWOL since starting this blog. I could spew excuses about being sick before my trip to LA, not having a reliable source of internet while in LA, then getting sick again right after my return. However, I know that I would not be honest […]

Stalking My Visitors

One of the many things I love about Squarespace is that it provides statistics that rival that of Google Analytics. In addition to this “Traffic Overview” page (which is updated every minute!), there also exists pages for: Referrers Popular Content Subscribers Queries Detailed Activity Now I don’t know about you, but I love finding out […]

Sidebar: Left or Right?

I am pretty certain that a large portion of my readers have blogs of their own. Do you have a sidebar? If so, is it on the right, left, or both? I recently read an interesting article discussing the merits of both right and left sidebars. I contemplated my own sidebar position. And after much […]

Links, Links, and More Links!

Okay, so I lied. There is just too much stuff for me to share with individual posts. As a result, I’ve decided to pay an homage to my Thursday Geek-isms days and dump these links on you with one big swoop. Enjoy! Far Side reenactments, Boing Boing. The Far Side used to be one of […]

Please Don’t Stone Me

A neutron walks into a bar and asks the bartender, “How much for a beer?” The bartender replies, “For you, no charge.”   I thought I would start with a joke so you’ll forgive me for backing out of another promise. The fact of the matter is, I’ve had a pretty crazy couple of weeks. […]

The End of the Blog, Or Why Do You Blog?

While pouring over the latest issue of my favorite magazine over the weekend, I was shocked to read this obituary to blogging. The first four paragraphs really stung me: Thinking about launching your own blog? Here’s some friendly advice: Don’t. And if you’ve already got one, pull the plug. Writing a weblog today isn’t the […]
