Sorry Bloglet Subscribers
To my Bloglet subscribers – I am so sorry for the missing posts.
The Bloglet code didn’t play nice with the WordPress installation, and I didn’t get response to requests for help. Luckily, WordPress has great support options, and there I was able to find the missing information that I needed. For future reference, and for the benefit of WordPress 1.5 users who use Bloglet for subscriptions, here is a working settings format at Bloglet.
weblog title: (name of your site)
weblog url: (url of your site)
weblog id: (leave blank)
username: (leave blank)
password: (leave blank)
server: (yourblog.com/feed/rss)
weblog type: (RSS)
enabled (check)
hide this blog (uncheck)
email setting (set to your liking)
It looks really simple, doesn’t it? But the server information eluded me. I tried an awfully lot of different possibilities…
MIT Blog Survey
Go ahead! Take the blog survey and be a statistic for MIT.
(I always wanted that for you honey. I know.)
And check this out – screen shots of Windows 1.0 all the way to XP. I remember every one of them. My first PC was an IBM PS2 – no hard drive. Ran a DOS version of Word Perfect off a floppy, using function keys to format documents. Actually, it wasn’t that different from basic html coding. Turn the italics on, turn them off. I was a first year graduate student in Iowa City, and it sure was easier than typing and retyping. Could it really be 18 years ago already? Somehow I was supposed to have raised kids and earned money in the meantime – but Ben is only 5 and I’ve only just graduated… Is anyone hiring in Atlanta? I really need to start paying off these student loans so that I will be debt free when I’m 72…
Unconscious Mutterings 7-3-05
Ok, “Unconscious Mutterings” is just a blog toy – just for fun. Every week we get this handy list of words – and we just free associate. It’s kind of funny to compare yours to others. Ok, it’s not rocket science or anything – just word association fun. I’m interested in rhetoric, language, and psychology – how can I resist?
