I’m I sucker for new sites, so now I have a new one to add to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, my WordPress blog, and Tumblr. It’s called Posterous,and it supposedly lets you send one post to all of those sites. This is a test, we’ll see how well it works. Posted via web from ssshupe’s posterous
WordPress has added a poll function, so here are a couple of polls for you. Note that it is possible to vote for more than one response. Thanks for your participation.
The WordPress site has a limited suite of statistics you can see for your blog, including total views per day. I’ve noticed that rather consistently the number of visits is consistently higher during the week, and drops off on the weekend. To me this says that my readers are happy enough to take a look at my posts on work time, but not interested enough to fire up their own […]
I realized today that those of you viewing the blog on a screen with a horizontal resolution of less than 1280 pixels (including those using the very common size of 1024 x 768) will have the right side of my posted photos cut off by the browser. Rather than asking you all to change your screen resolutions, I’ll be posting smaller pictures, which will allow you all to see all […]
I was able to watch the debate tonight live, and both candidates performed well, and both came across as informed and competent. But since competence is Ms. Clinton’s keystone, a confidence tie means the edge in this one goes to Obama on that score. Add to that a couple of ridiculous, almost sophomoric moments from Ms. Clinton — the first one her unbelievable plaint about supposedly always being asked the […]
One of my new years resolutions was to start blogging regularly again. For the last year I was teaching a class at Sonoma State University, which took up most of my spare time, leaving my blogging (and my guitar playing, and my French lessons) languishing. So I’m going to try to blog at least four times a week. We’ll see if that happens. I’ve also switched the blog to WordPress, […]
I’ve set up this blog to try out WordPress. We’ll see how it goes.
My friend the Grumpy Moderate has had too hard a time figuring out how to use his own blog (he’s been very busy lately besides), so I have generously offered to let him share the SSSBLOG for the time being. Whether someone as incredibly upbeat and optimistic as SSS can bear sharing space wtih someone as, how do I say this, well … as grumpy as the Grump remains to […]
Give somebody a post, and all of a sudden they want everything their own way. My friend the Grumpy Moderate is feeling too big for his breeches and has decided he needs his own damned Blog. Well OK then. His political/current events comments will migrate to a new blog, The Grumpy Moderate. My less serious, more eclectic posts will remain here on SSSBlog. He was already getting on my nerves, […]
I’m so proud … the SSSBlog is now in the Yahoo and Alta Vista search databases. So if you were to do a search for anything, SSSBlog would also be searched. Thus a search for “Molsberry’s” (the local market in Larkfield) and “cheese” would turn up an entry comparing cheese prices and selection in Paris and Santa Rosa. But my favorite search engine, Google, is lagging behind. It has not […]
