website stuff

So yeah I am trying out Google Ads again to help pay for the webserver costs. I don't think they are that intrusive. What do you guys think?

If it wasn't obvious yesterdays post about going swearing free was an April Fool's joke. Feel free to swear.

From this point on now use of inappropriate language will be allowed on Slightly Unstable. Violators will be severely punished. This change in rules is following complaints by Focus on the Family

I thought while I was setting up the twitter and identi.ca stuff I might as well add a facebook account for SU. You can follow it at facebook.com/sublogs

So yeah twitterfeed wasn't working well so I switched to a new system. The good news is that the feeds are updated now whenever there is a new post without having to wait 30 minutes. Also under "My Account" and "Twitter Accounts" you will see an account called sublogs. Don't mess with it!

I have added Identi.ca and Twitter accounts that people can follow. All blog entries will be posted to these accounts. The system updates the accounts every 30 minutes so it isn't instantaneous but within a half hour of your post being published it should be in the accounts.

I was having some issues with the new Drupal theme so I dropped into the Linux Outlaws IRC channel on Freenode. A user named mtah gave me a lot of help so I would like to give him thanks and also recommend his pretty cool looking site called Free as in Beard.

So yeah I decided to try out a new theme. I think this theme looks a bit cleaner and easier on the eyes. I have also removed the blogs list block for now. I may bring it back I'm just seeing how I like just having the tag cloud on the left.

i want to blog more, but it's almost kind of weird using a site where i can't control the way it looks, other people's entries are in with mine, and people i know actually read it. i know that sounds weird, but a lot of my blogging is the kind of highly personal stuff you write that you don't mind other people who are complete strangers reading, but that might offend people i know. especially since sometimes... you know, as a girl, i need to work things out by analyzing them.

Okay I have had it with the spammers. I really wish we could live in a world where I could leave posting open and not have to worry about this shit but that's not the world we live in. Here's the deal, I still want more posters. Unfortunately to be able to post now things are going to get a bit more complicated when registering. When a new user registers they will be sent an email with a very simple question to answer to prove they are human. Answering this question will grant you permisson to post blog entries and comments without your comments going into the approval queue.
