First, To my subscribers:
I have been using a different posting method lately that allows me to post to my blog without actually being logged into my blog software. Performancing.com has a very cool tool for bloggers that allows you to post to most popular blog platforms while viewing another page on the internet.
It’s a pretty neat deal, but unfortunately I have discovered that posting by this method does not trigger the portion of the software that notifies my subscribers that a new post has been made. If you’ve been wondering where my semi regular emails have been, that’s the answer. You’ve only missed a few recent additions to the blog, but it would be worth your time to direct your browsers over to the actual site. Be sure to check out a few of the posts that have been bumped off the front page, you can do this by clicking on the “next page” link after the last post on each page. I’ll be posting by the regular method in the future so you should start receiving emails from me again. Sorry for the interruption.
Next, some help on adding a favorite to your browser:
Here is some very simple, but useful help. Most of you already are quite comfortable with this process and need read no further. I know, however, that some of you are visiting my blog regularly by doing a search through Google. I get a report every day on all the Google searches that reach my site. It is a very interesting report and often reveals some very humorous search strings. Someday I may post a list of all the strange things that people have searched for and found my site. Anyway … part of the report I get reveals that some of my regular readers are going to Google, typing in “why do i bother” and clicking on the “I’m feeling lucky” button. While this will get you to my site, there a few easier ways to do this.
First, in either Firefox or Internet Explorer you could simply type “whydoibother” (yes, all scrunched together like that) in the address bar at the top of the browser and then hit Ctrl-Enter. using this method will add www and .com to anything you type up there and take you to the site.
Second, if you are a regular visitor you may just want to add me to your favorites list. In Firefox you can do that very easily. First, open the “View” menu, then the “Toolbars” sub menu and make sure that the “Bookmarks toolbar” has a check next to it. You should see a toolbar directly under the address bar that has all your bookmarks listed. Now simply click and hold the little question mark that appears in the address bar next to my URL and drag that to your bookmarks toolbar. If you’re feeling adventurous you can create folders on the toolbar to organize your favorites by right clicking on the toolbar and selecting “New folder”.
If you are an Internet Explorer user you can add a favorite to your list by first navigating to the page that you want to bookmark. Then you simply press Ctrl-D and customize the information that appears in the little pop up window in your browser. Internet Explorer also allows folders for your bookmarks so you can easily organize your favorites into categories.
I hope this was helpful to some of you. Thanks for continuing to visit my blog.
