Social Network Math

Social networks and groups involve math?
Yes they do
Proportions it all comes down to proportions, the more members you have the more items get posted and I'm talking activity count here by the way.

Works anywhere, you have a group with 100 members only %10 of the members actually do anything they are the active ones the rest are lurkers they don't do anything just read
The ones that post comments or new posts is only %10, that's what (I failed math at school) ...it's 10 which means you need at least 100 in your group, circle what ever you have to get any more than 10 comments per post unless someone double dips, always one who does so we don't count those as 2 only 1
Count by person ok not how many

Count goes up proportionally to the amount you have on your group so say on Twitter you have 500 followers unless you've got some who are very active you'll only get 50 @replies and messages (by person remember)

Or say you have a Blogger or a Wordpress that's got 1000 readers, you'll get 100 replies day
Unfortunately it never does work by post ratio but by day that 100 comment on different posts

Course if you join up on a big fat group on a social network one that's got over 10,000 members ... come on your math is better than mine how many comments and posts is that per day? 1000
Sounds great right get a lot of feedback and activity , no see it backfires
The more active members the more idiots you get you have 1000 active members you'll have at least 10 idiots/flooders and spammers sorry but that's social network math

and this is why here I only ever get 1 or 2 comments as only 20 something people subscribe/read (possibly just subscribe and don't read) this blog

sick of the thick

You know some people have the mental capacity of a gnat, don't know if they wear a helmet every day or the just don't think because some just don't think at all
I do a lot of answering questions about CSS it's easy CSS is you want a background that's black you put background-color: #000;
the #(hex color code) of course for black being #000
or you can put background-color: black; which is even easier
Simple right logical, same with a hover effect you get the item in the CSS you want the hover effect on and put :hover after it so say you wanted a hover effect here on Blogger you go into your template find the selector for the part you want a hover effect on
say the header wrapper which is #header-wrapper {
and after the end bracket you put #header-wrapper:hover {
with a change, I'll make this one the background but you can have what ever you like on hover as long as it's different
like this
#header-wrapper {
background-color:transparent;
}
#header-wrapper:hover {
background-color: #000;
}
Basically telling the code "oi change when the mouse goes over that part"
Simple easy peasy most selectors in CSS say what they do all it is is using your brain a little and thinking about what it says, not so easy for some they want the hover effect for comments, the hover effect for links and the hover effect for the footer ... it's ALL the same thing!
You can tell one person and the next day there's another asking for hover on something else I even wrote a tutorial on hover effects Hovering or mouse over effects (updated)
and they still don't get it
What can I do it's so frustrating trying to teach those who will not think for themselves are they stupid are they thick or what ?
Don't know how many of you reading this (not a lot of you read this anyway) but how many of you "got" what was above even if you have no clue what CSS is did you understand how I explained :hover ?

Why I won't follow you back on Twitter or any other social network

Twitter kinda reminds me of the favourites feature of Yahoo 360, anyone could follow your updates and you didn't have to even look at their page which in a way was good some you didn't want to see.
Twitter of course is slightly different for one you know who's following you and how many are following, on Multiply you add contacts, on Facebook and Myspace friends
I have the same rules guidelines track what ever you want to call it as I have every where else
I fill my profile out I do stuff and I expect that back

Number #1 rule -- THE most important one
Picture, headshot avatar you have to have one I don't care if it's a pic of a bear just have one anything something, no pic means you are either to lazy or to stupid to put one in there or in the case of a few can't work out how
Either way you have to be a relation or a damn good friend that I know in RL for me to follow you if you don't have one

Right that's #1 out of the way as for the rest lets see
Political are you, US politics ? Sorry no thanks if you bothered reading what it says on my bio you would know I'm Australian and I already have Kevin Rudd on follow (if you don't know who he is you're obviously not Aussie)

Language
Is your entire page in English or some other language?
I speak typo, a spattering of German und French (if I'm in the mood) and Australian anything else can't understand a word of it and if I've got to use a translation service for your page I just wont bother
No I'm not being racist I'm Australian we speak English, Aussie English colour, flavour that kind of English

Self Centered?
Your page is for your own adjenda is it, your Twitter only has links to your blog posts, blog posts that talk about you exclusively and nothing else ? Well unless you are a high ranking celeb like Bill Shatner you can wallow in your self because you by yourself you bore me

Age
Just how old are you anyway? Tweets and status messages that say "drikin iz gggggr8" or " big hugggggs" are reserved for those under 20 , if you are over 20 you went to school before TXT'ing became popular you know all your words and letters use them or get your keyboard fixed your "g" is sticking (or maybe mine is)
Oh and I'm not your mother either I don't have any more than two children, so unless you are naturally blond aged 19 or 21 and over 6 foot tall you ain't one of mine.

Do something
Does your Twitter have less than 5 tweets? Your blog empty? Your status devoid of anything but applications? You realise that you are so boring you bore yourself don't you dang it do you even know what a keyboard is? It's the bumpy thing with letters on it you press them and type words
Obviously you can't type anything or you'd have something there
Yours is empty ? Ok then don't expect me to be interested in you or expect me to type for you I ain't gonna do it (see above NOT your mother)

and lastly spam
Only spam I like comes canned, I don't need viagra I'm not that old yet thank you, I will not buy anything from you either, you can even come to my front door if you like doors shut in your face
Flooders same once is nice, twice is maybe a mistake but three or more of the same is flooding and floods will be sandbagged with a little feature I like to call "block" or ignore and delete , if you are really bad it's called report,
call me at 3am on my home phone with abuse and its called police report!

I might follow you back if, you are funny because I love a laugh sarcasm and sense of humour a must, you have something to say that's not about yourself, I know you or knew you in RL or you stand behind me and twist my arm till I do (stalkers not included)

So there we go , to summarise for those who skim
Fill it out, speak in English, be funny, use sentences, talk about other things than yourself and don't go overboard because no ones going to throw you a life raft in fact I might may even throw rocks at you


Missy Angel (not my real name)

Lover of sarcasm and writer of bad rhymes

now that is called a BIG whoops

You know what I did don't you
I turned off replies on my page here because I had an annoyance who kept flood posting comments anyway I turned them off and forgot to put them back set them as "had to be authorised" or something
You know I've been wondering why no one was commenting on anything
course why no one told me up till now I don't know maybe nothing was worth it .. oh well
anyway comments are now back on not anonymouse comments though because I don't want that nuisance flooding me again

Hey why can I smell bacon cooking when I'm not cooking anything? Ok now that is totally weird

...... gone looking for the source of bacon smell

I KNOW I have 17 readers!

Had to change things around because I can't edit anything on the 3 column template
so now it's back on two, yes I know I can do CSS but this is Blogger so it's staying on 2 and the links are blue staying blue they wont change !.
Did get the Twitter widget added so all of 17 people who are subscribed you can now follow me on Twitter (even the PM follows me so ner :P) or follow me on Blogger if you want I know you won't though because you will show as doing so and odds on some of you are being sneaky and don't want me to know who you are so you wont

I'm actually posting this from Blogger for once ...I know shock amaze most times I cross post from Multiply because I'm busy on there if you don't know I make Multiply themes/layouts have been for a while now and no I won't do Blogger templates too hard no way

Not about sport

I'm in a bitchy mood ... do you want to know nosey buggas of course ya do
My family are idiots, no sense at all they where rude and downright nasty to me made out they where some clone of my ID on Multiply made out it was my fault for being nasty to them, well if someone uses your name and picture on profile with personal info on you and not themselves wouldn't you go WTF , of course I was nasty someone does that to you it makes you feel sick to the stomach.
You know it wouldn't have worried me if they had used their own picture and their own info but noooooo they used mine and its rude disgusting and wrong to use someone else's info and harrass them with it, which is what they did.

Nasty rude comments aimed at my friends on Multiply and MySpace even getting my own daughter to post nasty rude comments aimed at my friends, TG my Multiply friends list is only viewable by my friends or everyone on my list would have been bombarded as well.

You know my nephew is on Multiply and it wouldn't have turned a hair on my head if he had tried to contact me that would have been fine but now after basically harassing me like that they all can get nicked as far as I am concerned, bad enough if some stranger does it but your own family .. its disgusting !


---------
14 readers here on my Blogger page
and it should be 10% that comment what's that? 5 per post?
As I'm getting none at all it ain't worth it any more
I can't work out Wordpress at all or I'd switch over there
*doh* I can transfer I'm not that stupid I do know how to transfer the posts from here to Wordpress its getting them on the right pages I want my poems/stories on there as well but not all in with the posts from here, I don't want them mixed up that's why they are on a different page here on Blogger
I want them on a different page on Wordpress as well even if its a link they have to be on a different page ... so I'm fussy that's how I want it and if I can't do it like that I won't do it at all.
My Wordpress is also putting my posts on Technorati ... like WTF how/why did it do that?
I can't fix up a theme on Wordpress like I have here .. so I want the stars and a bigger font size ..like I said fussy!

But Wordpress tells me who's looked, who's clicked to my page that's how I found out about the Technorati thing my Wordpress is at the moment more private than here ...14 subscribers poooft! and looks like most of my blog hits are from Sucka's Y Pipes .. great actually I don't want to be looked at or read but hey if you are wondering Feedburner tells me which posts get the most hits apparently "my take on soccer" is my most popular post with 86 hits ... now that IS a worry
Anyway as I am not going to post about bloomin sport and my family didn't even bother looking here even though I gave them the link .. as I said they are idiots.

I don't want anyone to read here you can all go away, if I wanted hits and comments I'd be posting on Multiply or 360 .. no scratch the 360 part no one uses it according to Yahoo

I'm not in the best of moods just want to crawl in a hole and die

Expansion Pack Available now

Now available the Bloggers Anonymous Expansion Pack
One that you are welcome to look around, play in or post in.

I've copied all that is available on the Bloggers Anonymous website and the Bloggers Anonymous 360 page to a Blogger blog, the website was always awful to load anyway and the 360 page needed to be backed up so now they are both together on the one blog.
Bloggers Anonymous still loves 360 after all that is our home but with a Blogger it can reach a wider audience, comments can be anonymous and the blog can have other authors as long as they have a Blogger account
Bloggers Anonymous is not leaving 360 just expanding there are no other Bloggers Anonymous's around our 360 Bloggers Anonymous is the only site/blog/group dedicated to those with a blogging addiction others have written about blogging as an addiction but there are no other Bloggers Anonymous sites that do what we do, there where but most are defunct now.
We found with the advent of Mash more people wanted to join our group who didn't blog on 360 anymore plus with those who have left 360 (pre-360 product blog post) whom we want back, an expansion is a good idea for Bloggers Anonymous.

Again Bloggers Anonymous is NOT leaving 360 just expanding, we just built a new extension on our little BA house to fit in all the new family members in our little family is all

Join Bloggers Anonymous the Y Group

What is plural of Bloggers Anonymous any way? Is it bloggers anonymous's or bloggers anonymi? And why did I make a group that had such a difficult name?

How to add stuff to your Blogger page...post 2

Comments Feed thingy
On Wordpress its a module that you can add but on Blogger you have to add them a different way and if you have a Google reader its fairly easy
Add the feed for comments into your Google reader the link will be like this http://blogaddictsanon.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default
obviously you change the site name for yours so Dana's comment feed would be
http://danasvoice.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default
Your site address with /feeds/comments/default on the end
Change the name of the subscription to "comments for" so you don't get confuddled with the blog feed, make sure its in a public folder or blog or the feed it won't work.

Click on the Manage Subscriptions link, tick the box for comments feed you just added, tick the "add clip to your site" link and a pop up box will appear.
This is the fun part where you choose what colours and what title you want, then you can click the "add to Blogger" link and have Blogger add the code for you or do it yourself (copy paste into a html module on your page)

Bit of a mess around but once you have done it its done and your recent comments will appear on your Blogger blog.
Don't ask me how you can do it if you use something else I'm assuming you can use YPipes or use Feedburner to do the same thing .... a feed is a feed comments or blog.

Update: If you want an easy way click add page element>> add feed
I can't see "add page element" on Firefox so forgot you could do that .... **DoH**

Quick Comments
I had a look on the Blogger Help pages and found a couple of different things that you can use
First one is guestbooks but like any webpage they should be on a different page
The other is called a Tagboard of course like the Guestbooks you need to sign up in order to get the code but once you have you can grab the code for the box like I have on the right, had to put it on the right as it got squished on the left (template issue) The one I'm using there is called Tag Board.com its fairly simple and if you know a little HTML you can change it around a bit, like the "TAG" button you can change that to say "post" if you wanted to. It's free of course (you know me its gotta be free) but you can pay and get IP banning etc.
Of course if you get the free one you might get some numbnuts decide they want to play on it so all you do is log in to TagBoard and re-do it, think re-pasting code will do the same but if it does clear it I can't test it don't want to clear mine yet.

Of course you can use a TagBoard on any site where you can put it, MySpace profiles for instance but remember it is PUBLIC and anyone can post on it.

Authors
You can have others post on your page, great for a blog like Bloggers Anonymous or if you want to set up a writers page or post on a cooking page like Tastebuds
All you need to do is go into your Blogger permissions page and add an author, you will need an email address for them. Blogger will send them an email asking if they want to be an author and they say yes or no.
You can even grant them admin privileges after they say yes so they can add things to the page other than posting blogs.
The blog will come up on their Blogger profile with their name as an author, some pages have a pile of authors
If you want to be included as an author and you haven't been asked ask! Don't ask don't get! Just don't forget your email address you can't get permission without it and of course you have to have a Blogger account don't have to have a blog just an account.

looks like this when you have a few authors (emails blanked out for privacy)

Tags.
On 360 all your tags have to be-one-word or one_word you can't put spaces or Capitals here you can, you can tag your posts as My Dog, Base Ball Heroes or By the Sea, you can also go into your list of posts and tag all of them at once or 10 at a time, so say you posted a pile of old 360 posts here on Blogger go into your list of posts and tick the boxes for them (draft OR posted doesn't matter) and label them "posts from 360" and Blogger will tag them all at once! No more lost posts because you forgot to tag em and no more silly looking tags. As you might notice I'm so used to doing my tags the 360 way most of mine are-like-this LoL old habits die hard.
Of course if you blog on Wordpress it will make you a cloud, Blogger doesn't do that and I missed my tag cloud so much I found a site that makes em and put one on my Blogger but it was a pain a BIG pain to do (it should be at the bottom of this page)

Ok that's it I think ...flippin hope so anyway
Bloggers Anonymous has some other sites that may help you with your Blogger page and any other web site for that matter and a few more things to help with blogging in general have been added to Chronicknightmare

How to use Blogger for ex360 peeps

A few people are very new to Blogger and it can be tricky after using 360 for so long its not that its difficult just different
Here are a couple of things that may help with keeping in touch with your friends on 360 and adding a few things to your page

Log in to your Blogger dashboard, you will see a few things there possibly not as many as this yet but the "edit profile" and "layout" options will be there for your own blog page
To edit your Blogger profile click umm "edit profile" fairly simple that one hehehe
And for the look of your page and to add things to your template click "Layout"


Click Layout then Template the page elements page will come up, yours will look a lot neater than mine though

Click on edit links to place your friends blog page URL or any other URL in your links section on the side of your Blogger page, you may have to activate or add a links section do that by clicking "add page element"



Add your picture with a URL , which means the picture must be on Photobucket or Flickr


To subscribe click on one of the "add too" buttons on a friends page or the "Atom" link at the bottom of the page



Or If you use Firefox click the RSS button on the toolbar



The blogs you have subscribed to will them come up in your reader I use Google but you can use your My Yahoo or any other feed reader you want
You can also paste a link in where it says "add subscription" to get updates from your friends pages



Oh and if you want those fancy tiny buttons and the "how many are subscribed" clicklet go to Feedburner make an account put your RSS feed in for your blog (the Atom one at the bottom) and you can make the fancy animated feed readers and grab the little "add me" buttons Feedburner gives you all the codes, in fact it can even add them to your blog page for you

This is a fairly simple "How too" on using Blogger if you have any questions ask,
I might even do another one like date change ..no wait that's easy click "Post options" and change the date of posting(month/day/year) that way if you bring over any posts from 360 you can post them on the original post date

Help

What's the easiest way to stick my Blogger pages on my Wordpress?
If I try to load them up onto it they all go on the same page and of course me being me I don't want them on the same page all mixed up I want them on different pages with the little neat tabs at the top of the main page
I asked here and well the answers didn't help at all, I do know the difference between a page and a post I'm not quite that stupid, confused yes and I may look like an idiot sometimes but I ain't that dumb.
I've got these pages on Blogger
This one Missinterupted the one you are on now
Missys Shorts for my short stories and bad poetry
Tastebuds - food blog with different authors
Bloggers Anonymous - new Blogger blog, still working on it (will have co-authors and feeds when finished)
Photoshopping Challenge - not used now but if anyone wants to be co-author I can set it up

Would it be easier to just put links down the side?
Can I put an outside link in one of those "extra page" tabs like Phil has done? How do I do that?
Remember I'm a Wordpress newb I find the whole thing very confusing that's why I haven't done much on it.
I can do HTML easy enough links are easy I didn't bother with filling in the blog roll one at a time on Wordpress I just did the links in HTML like I've done here,see the scroll box? its cool huh, the scroll wouldn't work on Wordpress but the links did and that's the important part.

So in simple terms for a person who is constantly interrupted (300 times while typing this) how do I get those "extra pages" on Wordpress too 1. have what I want on them and 2. if possible get them to go to an outside page?

my finger is sore now...

Think I've finished now, yes my finger is sore from all that copy pasting
The old 360 entries are tagged (umm derr ) 360 POSTS OLD and the MySpace ones are MY SPACE OLD
It now looks like I've had my Blogger since 05' which of course is a big cheat, those are just older 360 posts back posted on to the date of original posting, think a couple of those are MySpace ones as I've had that since 05'
Note: if you have a MySpace don't try going through old posts the archiving is terrible and you will be looking at 5 posts per page clicking "older" over and over again. Lucky most of mine there where re-posts anyway but I did find a couple that where MySpace composed only, that I'd never saved at all, those have been posted here.

I now have (under sufferance) a Multiply which isn't too bad was fairly easy to find code to do the background in CSS but I don't really like the privacy settings there is no friend of friend or "friends only" setting that I can find so everyone connected to you in anyway sees your updates. One plus though it does have a reasonable system of grabbing blog posts from another site (not 360) and posting them on Multiply, it did want to post ALL of my posts from ALL of my Blogger blogs ( I have 4) and cross post I post on Blogger it posts there as well which I didn't want but it did post the ones that I wanted there so that worked. There is also a "I used to be on 360" group set up for bloggers kinda like BA . Think Multiply could be interesting actually ..... and umm miss red where would you like that wet noodle?

Also **shock horror** I've got a Wordpress it tells me who has subscribed, when peeps looked and when, I can have another page on it and well loads of stuff that I haven't quite figured out yet, like if I have more than one page how do I know which one I'm posting on? Its different to Blogger , the dashboard doesn't have "my 1st blog" and "my 2nd blog" or "poems" and "tastebuds" like Blogger does . So I haven't really posted on it as I don't really know which page that post is going to end up on
I would make a new page for my poems/short stories and transfer them but I'd quite possibly get all muddled and stick them on the wrong page. I also of course want my stars background same as I've got on Mash, MySpace and Blogger on my Wordpress but as I have no idea how to do CSS its staying like it is, I find Wordpress very confusing and CSS even more so.


So anyway I've grabbed all of my 360 posts worth posting ( 6 posts still to be posted) and stuck them on Blogger and yes if you look I've mucked it up told you I can't do CSS the Blogger navigation bar has disappeared as well as the whole page being too wide oh well at least you can read it

Oh and has anyone got any good finger exercises?? .....LoL I know what you are going to say for that one

Update: Of course Wordpress and Multiply are confusing I've been using 360 since 05' EVERYTHING is confusing after 360 its so easy to use ...when it works of course

its 1am

1am and I can't sleep, too hot ...too bloomin hot and it's only October don't know what its going to be like in another month 40+ in here, well ok not in here the air-con is in here (have to keep the computers cool) but the rest of the house will be like an oven
Last year I went into the kitchen and it was 50 degrees in there that's around 105 in the other measurement and NO the oven was not on, didn't need to be I could have cooked on the floor not that I would cook on the floor but you know what I mean...get off my floor is clean the dog eats off it all the time so it must be clean enough to eat off ... What the dog finds on the floor worth eating is beyond me I can't see anything and she's licking the floor, maybe its phantom food?
Speaking of the dog, had to have it inside because of thunder storms she hates them goes nuts over the thunder, anyway I bring her inside and she's doing the alternate steam train , drink, steam train, drink thing and dribbling water all over the floor always wondered why her water goes down so fast she spills most of it, of course inside its all over the floor isn't it and then she's walking in the puddles only washed the floor yesterday and so now I gotta do it all again. Only I wash the floor after the dog is back outside well the dog is supposed to back out only she wont, daytime yes she will I say "outside" she is at the door waiting for me too push down the handle so she can nose the door open but night time no way I say "outside" she hides, here's this too big to sit on your lap dog (she's a "medium") hiding under my desk so I'm going "come" with treats and she's on her back I get her up and she scoots up on the bed and hides behind him thinking we can't see her as the light is off.
She does it every time she is inside at night, when its time to go out she hides anyone would think I wack her one or something the way she behaves, I literally have to entice her to the door with treats, she only does it at night day time is fine .... we have a dog that is scared of the dark maybe ? I have no idea.

Actually Ice (that's the dog) has her own 360 page think I'll grab her posts as well and post them here, she don't spell very well after all she is a dog but a couple of the posts are interesting reading well that's what she tells me anyway ....... of course I wrote them dah the dog can't type, even though she does try to sit on my lap while I type, tries is the operative word here, she can't actually sit on my lap she is way too big for that, I keep telling her that she's too big but she don't believe me as dogs don't know size (Ice talks about size on her blog and as I'm going to put them here I'll leave the size thing for now) No I am not making another blogger page up for the bloomin dog, could but I won't can't be bothered.

Anyway what was I doing? Watching my fish on Mash ..yes its that boring over there, posting a very "nice" suggestion on the Mash suggestion board, yes I can be nice sometimes thank you very much. Sticking some more downloads on Chronick, you might like those S I've stuck some Fonts in, do some more soon and Tazster is putting a pile of Rapidshare links up in the forum section she's crazy I swear LoL. If you want anything ask you know me I'll find it and if I can't the big furry one will NO not the dog the snoring furry thing that's sleeping atm...still sounds like he is a dog oh well you know who I mean .
Changed the blurb on BA to say "all bloggers" not just 360 bloggers well I blog here don't I ? Besides you look up Bloggers Anonymous on Google all the other BA sites are dead including the Blogger one.
What else have I done today apart from re-wash the floor ? No idea ?? Oh yeah I know something I'm going to do and that is ....wait for it ........ sleep yeah that's it sleep well hope so anyway.
Oh and please tell me if I post too fast for you or too slow I can do more ya know, you know me I can go hard ...no wait that sounds rude ...I know I know go to bed you sleep blogging again ..hmm I know someone else who sleep blogs wonder who that is ???

been thinkin

I know shouldn't think rots your brain

Anyway been thinking that my Blogger template is boring sooooo I've been looking at a 3 column template got a couple to play with but knowing me I'll stuff up the lot or lose things like I did last time ..shouldn't start working on templates at 3am huh? Anyhoo hopefully it will be the same (have to keep the stars) but 3 columns , should make things easier to read down the sides as there is a tiny little bit of stuff there ..just a bit .
I'll have to do it on IE too as Blogger doesn't like Firefox I can edit modules but not move or make new ones, have the same problem on MySpace can't use the new profile editor not that it worries me I'm used to editing in HTML mode but if I use IE 1. I can't comment on Blogger blogs with the popup box for comments, 2. IE doesn't have a spell checker or an add blocker ...for some strange reason I typed ass blocker then (d is next to s )
I am a nut LoL

Oh spose you want the sites I got the templates from? arrgh umm whoops you gotta Google em up type in " 3 column blogger template " they have word press ones too

Oh anyone want 360 Angel ? The way Yahoo is going umm no you don't can't even give the dang ID away as its no good having it as a 360 tutorial page is it? No kidding though I've got lets see six 360 pages ..I think ?? The Dog, 360 Memorial, 360 Angel, The Budgie, Bloggers Anonymous, Missy A (original), Little Fairy and the one I've been using since December oh gawd that's 8 arrgh what the flip I need 8 for?? No wonder I forget to go on them one I totally forgot about and hadn't posted on since May
Ridiculous that is why couldn't 360 be like Blogger then I could have all of them on the one login ..think I've got 4 here too but one is his that I'm allowed to post on and the other is Tastebuds which others post on that's open btw if you want to contribute to that you can, just gotta add your email to the list I love that part about Blogger you can have an open contributors blog think you can on Word Press too must be able too as the Mash and Yahoo Messenger blogs are on Word Press and its different people posting every time
You know that says a lot doesn't it can anyone answer this question for me
Why are the Mash, Y Messenger, Yahoo Anecdotal and YMail blogs hosted on Word Press and not 360? There are more Yahoo blogs for basically everything(look at the blog roll on the Messenger blog) very few are on 360 what are Yahoo trying to say here ?

Think about that while I sleep its 2am here tomorrow (I hope if I get time) I will be playing with my template and you know the old saying "play with it too much it will fall off" just hope it doesn't

so any way

Its almost 1am the furry thing is snoring in the bedroom the birdie is cheeping behind me (will you bloomin well shut up you dang noisy bloomin bird) thank you bird oh hello he's off again, don't you swear at me either .. he's a naughty bird.

Snore! SNORE ...argggh just excuse me while I cover it with a pillow there thats better
is ok didn't really but he has shut up and no he's not dead he's still breathing tell you what though it is one way of telling he's still alive the noise that comes out of that omg right through the wall, I sleep in a different room have to or I'm kept awake all night

Ok now I can think and it is relatively quiet I was going to talk about people online some just don't get it they really don't even if English should be their first and only language they can't read or won't read can't spell ..ok so I know I can't spell for peanuts and that's why I love firefox
built in spell checker whoopie it red underlines realy, allways and thier which I can never ever spell right

Still I can read English and understand a little of most languages, I knew Rodrigo the spammer was talking about T-Shirts before I even clicked his links camisetas personalizadas (personalized T-shirts) I knew that it didn't just look like a jumble of mixed up letters on the page

You know I can remember not being able to read and writing just looking like patterns in a book (numbers of course swirl to me) I've never had dyslexia even though both my brother and sister do, words have formed patterns for me always formed patterns, numbers swirl but words don't

I can read don't have any problems reading my reading has always been above average (we won't talk about the math skills will we no we won't) anyway I've no problems reading, seeing of course is different thing but reading no problem so to me I don't understand how someone can read one thing and get out of it a completely different thing, even my sister who can read and write totally mirrored yes hold a page up to the mirror to read it backwards has no problems understanding the written word, I know someone who's first language is Arabic who scored 109 on this IQ test would have scored more but he couldn't translate Oasis I had to give him the definition ... its a well or body of water in the middle of the dessert btw

What always gets me though is the people who read (well I'm assuming they do) a blog entry and get out of it a completely different thing than what was written or read into a block of text or a sentence something that isn't even there and I'm like "where did you even get that from?" as I read the exact same thing and didn't see that at all.

Suppose this is where the gossip comes from one person seeing one thing and another sees a different thing take the other week for example this was posted to me "why did you put that in this cretain place" now I read that as cretin of course it's not its a bad spelling of certain or curtain ???

Don't matter either way but it is lucky I'm such a nice person otherwise well I would have gone right off as it is the person who posted that is a cretin even though they don't even know the meaning of the word that is what they are and no I'm not being cruel really they are a cretin
They can be found in abundance in every single populated internet forum, where they race to post as many mind-numbing messages as possible in a single session. In addition, they seemingly interbreed with other cretins, ensuring that their cretinous genes continue long after they end up dead meaning the Internet will never be rid of their kind.

See told you cretin, mind numbingly annoying and idiotic person who posts to much and doesn't read ..possibly because they can't

Anyway its now 1.30am ..get off it takes a while to find links you know and I'm on MySpace and 360 as well as Warped in 4 places at once I am.... no wonder I'm so thin
So next time you find yourself behind a curtain with a cretin who can't read
bop them on the head for me please

being funny is hard work

You know sometimes I feel like its hard work
See I get on in the morning and load my iGoogle so I can read peoples Blogger posts, then I load up MySpace and the Forum site I moderate then Yahoo mail, then I check 360 and Bloggers Anonymous amazingly today no add requests for the group only for the blog, don't know where those came from either they aren't in the group probably from blasts get a lot like that they have no idea how to favoritize someone or how to read a blog post link they just send an add request and you never see them again even if you do add them I could go on about 360 and the so called "social networking" but I won't ...haven't got a roll of TP for a list.

Back to subject ..it feels like hard work it really does I've been running BA (the group) since July last year and you know I reject more than I approve 4/5 don't get in, theres only 423 members then again it's nicer like that anyway and I only did it for a joke that's what gets me the whole thing is a joke its not real ok so BA helps people out with blogging ideas and fun things but it's not serious and people think it is, its actually quite unbelievable that people take BA seriously .. no sense of humour some people I swear and that's whats such hard work they won't flipping laugh they just don't "get" it
Take Jesus (check the Blogger friends listing) now he's funny and really I don't think he's really Jesus I know that, you know that but can you imagine him on 360 OMG! He would be taken seriously there would be people asking him things and taking it not with a pinch of salt and tounge in cheek but serious!
Thats why I have to be so carefull with the posts I write for BA I know there are people who correct spelling, typos and just cannot see thats it's ment to be that way (I typo on porpose didn't you know **wink**) and that its ment to be funny

It's hard work being funny it really is and I'm not getting the time to think about things either see no comedian in this word does things off the top of his/her head its all thought about before hand the timing the wording is all done before hand it looks spontainious but it really isn't and seriously I've run out of jokes I should be writing short stories as well haven't done one for ages but its just not there any more it's all so very hard

Introducing

I would like to introduce to you this new bloggger click here he's new I'm helping him and we had a devil of a time getting blogger to let him sign in on his computer he had to get Firefox to be able to sign in it's something on his computer thats blocking him signing in on IE
Can't for the life of me work out what it is, his firewall I susect.

Anyway he's only going to do music on his blogger thats what he does he finds downloads and music hopefully with an Imeem player as well so you can listen to at least one track before you download I might have to pop into it and put the players in though.
Brilliant thing that you can give someone else access to your blog here on Blogger and they can post as well as you, so his blog is on my dashboard now which means I can help him out easier can't edit anything on the template but I can post and edit blogs for him

All of his music will be a rar. file not winzip so if you don't have win.rar I would get it, it's like winzip only a win.rar file can hold more and win.rar can open more zipped files than winzip can XP and Vista come with an unzipper but its not as good as win.rar besides win.rar has penguins.
It's on my downloads page on my website along with other things like the animators I use.

Anyway speaking of him who is sleeping at the moment otherwize I wouldn't be able to write this, he's sleeping ok so I go to take a shower and the smoke alarm is in the passageway next to the bathroom door and the steam from the shower sets it off so I'm running around dripping wet, naked of course grabbing for the broom to poke the dang thing to shut it off and you know he never even moved ...to bad if we have a fire and he's asleep he really would be dead then.
When we lived in that tiny flat the guy next door was deaf ( he still is) his smoke alarm has a light on it as well, no kidding though that snoring man in our bedroom would need half an earthquake to wake him up, alarm clocks, dog barking or the dang smoke alarm nothing wakes him up yet if the phone rings he wakes up, not enough to answer it mind you allways me that answers it unless I'm asleep as well then it can ring out .. he's waiting for me to answer it I swear.
One day I'll set up an answering thing on the computers then I won't have to answer the dang phone ..no wait then he won't wake up at all .. no scratch that one

So go and visit his page and when he wakes up he will get a little suprise hehehehe

Message to a friend

I just sent this message to someone who asked me why I didn't come on 360 anymore and decided that to post it would be a better idea that way its open, well to the people who read this anyway
Read previous posts here and you will realize that I am just way too busy/constantly interupted to be lurking anywhere

Message body :
I've had a look around today on 360, had to go on BA anyway and there is something missing from the whole thing I had to grab Eddo's link for the BA web site post (bloggers on blogging) and it took me AGES to find him, had to check my old mail to find his new page he's shut down too.
Something about trolls ..I think.. don't know really wasn't looking at posts
I see blasts and thats about it (need the 360 home page to check simple urls for BA memberships) I won't shut down BA but I'm only on it for 1/2 hour tops each day, check mail and comments thats it.
Its only been a week but I'm staying away if I'm not there I can't be implicated in anything
I havemy MySpace that I've shut down to friends only and my views went down from 150 in a week to 35, I have Blogger that you don't need to be a member of to comment on **hint hint** that is open, the link to my blogger profile is on my 360 blast (page views climbing LoL) and my Imeem
I'm just staying away from the whole thing I used to love 360 but really its gone so far down hill far too much backbiting and bitching going on,who's friends with who, who's fighting, who's doing that,this, whatever its impossible
The only thing I can do is just not bother with it any more
The same thing happened in the origional chat room I used to go in (the one I wrote the story on) there is only one person from there I am in contact with now the rest can go F themselves, there are more on 360 that I am closer too but sheet it's going the same way

Easier??

Easier?
Can't possibly be easier can it ?
I'm the laziest person really if I can find an easy way to do something I will but even if its a right royal PITA I'll go at it till I get it, work out how to do it and show others how as well because that's how I am, if I can inform people how things work I will and I have been showing, telling and teaching people how to use an extremly simple basic blog site like 360 for years and thats just it 360 is simple and a pale copy of Blogger and MySpace the problem is when they set up 360 they didn't look at all the other blog sites to see how they worked what people wanted, really they didn't look they just said "hey we gotta do this blog thing, we will loose money if we don't" shoved a blog on a page and said here you go we are giving everyone on Yahoo one even if you don't want it you got it but you work it out, we know it don't work properly half the time but we are keeping the Beta label on it because we just haven't bothered looking at the other blog sites and really we are just in it for the money
I used to love 360 love the simplicity of it but really even Imeem with its photo uploading, video and music and blogging all in one even though its fairly new just walks all over Yahoo 360 because they looked at what people wanted before they released the thing!

Of course its easier here on Blogger this place knows what people want they have had a blogging site running for years YEARS! Of course its easier to insert pictures
Click on the insert picture link/icon and add as many from your computer or Photobucket or Flickr where ever you got them you can add them, you can put them on the side in the middle where ever you want no html no copy paste no messing around and no uploading to another site its easy!
Just watch gifs though it will insert as many as there are frames for that gif but statics no problem
Anyone can comment here they do NOT need an account
Comments can be moderated
You can put what ever you want on the sides of your blog page you want flashy gifs on the sides have them, links put them there, a clock, readers, RSS feeders basically anything you want
You can write a post and save it for later (save as draft)
Someone else can write posts on a blog (permissions-blog authors)
You can have as many blogs under the same profile as you want
If I wanted to restrict access to this blog I can (choose blog readers)
Blogger knows what its doing its been doing this for years they listen they update they tell people what is going on

If Blogger had been in this format years ago (unlike Y 360 Blogger is out of Beta) I would never have bothered with 360 but then again there are a few who I would never have met and who I really love
One day 360 will get of its lazier than my own backside and get its act together untill then I'm sticking with Blogger, MySpace and Imeem

Punishable by death

I've been slack, not posted anything at all here since the 11th and it's now the 15th that's punishable by death isn't it?
Here on Blogger??? No I can post when I want and if people read it they read it, they can't delete me for not posting because well they can't add me to a friends list if they don't wanna read they just don't read simple
If they want to read my posts they can and if they don't want to read it's not my problem
See here I have this freedom I'm not having to compete with the attention of others just to get my posts seen I don't have to shout "look at me" or post blasts continuously, here this is me if people read they read (and I know they do..you lurkers you)
I'm no attention hoare (did I spell that right? Probably not)
I don't have to think of the next fantastic post or the most "ranty" to vie for peoples attention I don't care if I get 100 comments or zero I don't care any more
Here I can be me, writing for me not blogging for the readership but blogging for me I'm not competing for page views, not having to comment on 360 milllion other blogs before I write anything of my own otherwize no one reads mine, here I don't care.
I'm writing for me
writing or blogging how it should be

statistics

statistics

I've just done a run down of not only how many but who commented and when on my 360 page, its very interesting to see not so much how many but when they commented. I took numbers from the back of my blog or December and now and there are quite a few who used to comment but don't now, even though thier amount is high just lately I haven't seen them at all.
I have seen another pattern emerging though and that just annoys me, it annoys me that I get deleted and a lying coniving untrustworthy person is added to a another persons page
It annoys me that I care about a hell of a lot of these people and they don't trust me!
I am sad I am depressed I've lost a lot of really nice people too a couple of suck ups
I won't add them back I don't care they choose them over me fine
What did I do to deserve being abandoned like this ? Nothing? No I did a lot helped them out talked to them I was there for them ok so maybe I am slightly annoying but I'm not as annoying as a lot of people, maybe I didn't suck up enough you think thats the reason? I didn't fall at thier feet with a bunch of peeled grapes each and everyday I wasn't "in thier face" so they took no notice of me?

I was half way though this earlier on today when as per usual interupted yet again good thing Blogger has a "save as draft" option
Did you know ? No you didn't but I'll tell you anyway did you know that I post in Forums as well? And the site that I'm a member of I'm now classed as elite .. ELITE !! cool huh I've got a blue name on the site and everything it's neato
I get excited over the silliest things
It does mean I'm on 360, Blogger and the site and even MySpace and Imeem at the same time

I get very confused LoL
Even more than usual
