It was the best of feeds; it was the worst of feeds … At times they worked; at times they didn’t work. But at least they were together, two feeds on a blog, until I discovered I could kill one off. It would be painless. Just a quick click and then delete. There would… Continue reading
Scrambled Words and Toast. Do your words lay in clumps across the page, like scrambled eggs? Do they yearn for something more than a comma or a period? Do they need a fork to guide them, a menu to organize them? Do your words lose their meaning and look more like toast? It happened to… Continue reading
My name is Lauren and I’m a 404-aholic. I first realized I had a linking problem when Mike from We Work for Cheese told me about a defective link in the post, Canadians Blamed for Blast of Frigid Air or is that Frigidaire? I accidentally added an “http” at the end of the address, which resulted… Continue reading
I Got Hacked – Excuse My Appearance I’m having technical difficulty and am working on the problem. Not me personally because I don’t know what the hell I’m doing.

And learn it I did, this past Monday when I added my blog to Google Analytics. That took about an hour. After I added Think Spin to Google Analytics, submitted a site… Continue reading
Last week when my right footer disappeared, I thought my blog had been hacked. It turns out that my blog was hacked by me. Yes, I accidentally deleted a footer text box from my blog and then couldn’t find the text widget in the layout. I think the problem was due to a photo gallery… Continue reading
Recently, after jettisoning from my desktop into cyberspace, Firefox bypassed Google, rerouting me to Internet purgatory, and the message, “Server not found!” I responded with, “Goddamn it! You lost it again!” To which Firefox said, referring to itself in third person, “Firefox can’t find the server at www.google.com.” How could you without Google Maps? Ignoring… Continue reading
