Better blogging

By ~LS~ On July 17, 2009 · Add Comment · In The Web and tagged Tagged With: Blogging, Voxygen

In preparing for revamping Vox and She-blog, I read a lot about blogging and what I should do to improve my blog and site. I’ve learned a lot and hopefully my future blogging will reflect that. There are some obvious problems with my old site and my old blog on blogspot – I’ve just never really bothered with them. The coding and design on them suck. I never took the time to deal with validation, cross-browser, or monitor size issues. When blogger went to the new blog format, I could never get my site to look right and I didn’t want to learn how because it was so annoyingly complicated. Whatever. It’s a new era.

In addition to these obvious mistakes, I learned about some other blogging conventions that I violate. It’s funny that there are now “rules” about how to blog and what makes a good blog. [...]

Bizarre Twist on Nigerian Scam

By ~LS~ On June 15, 2009 · Add Comment · In Random Musings, The Web and tagged Tagged With: Nigerian Scam, Weird Stuff

I don’t really know why I’m so fascinated by Nigerian Scams. But I am. I got a bizarre one today. I’m sure it’s been around for a while, but this is the first time I’ve received one like it. It’s the moneygram scam.

John Atkins emailed me (from a gmail account) telling me he’s sending me part of my money via moneygram. He gave me the reference code and the answer to the secret question. (I will share it with you so you have it too. It’s “green.”) Then the email says you can’t contact him at his email account, but if you have questions, write to this AOL account.

This is a very bizarre twist. I mean, do people really fall for this? Yep. For instance, some county treasurer in Michigan actually embezzled money from the county because he fell victim to one of the scams. How stupid [...]

Same as it ever was – Adventures Updating Voxygen

I have been neck deep in Dreamweaver and learning CSS. Well, not really learning as much as hacking the template I found. I have something of a template put together. I’m not done with it and I think Willow probably needs to take a look at it to straighten some of it out. One thing that really helped me was installing this great Foxfire plug-in called Firebug, which lets you examine the source code of a website with greater ease and detail than the generic “view page source” button. I’m rather proud of what I’ve accomplished so far, though. I’m having some trepidation about converting the style sheet to fit blogger, though.

I have decided to buy Willow her own domain so that she can use that instead of using a subdomain of Voxygen. I didn’t know I could do that, but apparently I can! I get to have [...]
