Blog updates
I took a break from studying to make a few minor changes…a drum roll to my blog-birthday post and some redesign.
Comments: I added word verification on the comments. After almost 50 spam messages in one week I had enough. Hopefully that won’t cut down on the latest comment frenzy I’ve noticed.
Backlinks: Sometimes people link to postings on other blogs, well now I can track who’s linking to what. It looks little messy, but I think Blogger has it working right.
Feature topics: A little playing around with Google’s blog search and a little testing with some research I sent to Google and Blogger a few months back *BAM!*: Blog Categories. Now this only works well with my blog because I try to post the same title for every new topic. Let’s just say I cheated and tried to do this almost a year ago, gave up on tweaking Google and just waited until they tweaked it. :)
Archive list: I wanted to edit the format of the list for the archives to it wouldn’t take up as much space…finally figured out what I did wrong the first time I tried to get the right result. Now I have just what I want! :)
Sidebar information: After a little thought and an interest in change, I moved the info about me lower and the info about the blog higher. Food for thought: move “fun content” lower in your blog to encourage readers to scroll and offer a reward for those who made it that far. That was the latest recommendation from Blogger Buzz [09.20.2005] -I had to agree.
More changes to come…
I am “that guy”
Yes I bought this t-shirt. Yes I have worn it in public. Words are: “Jesus did it for the chicks!”
I know some of my blogger friends will be slightly offended by this, but if I don’t post it I suppose I would be lying about my own humor and that is just as offensive…well I think so.
All in good fun…and no I didn’t wear it during the day; I wore it to the bar. I’m that big of a jerk. :)

I made it
Per Photo Moment #5; I made it on WereNotAfraid.com into Gallery 575 and my photo was in the “highlights”. Sweet. Thanks to Dad for noticing, because I stopped looking a month ago. :)
I’m still taking pictures
On Monday night I took my 7,003rd picture. When flipping back through the photos I found my 7,000th photo was one to write home about…well maybe not home, but at least blog about. Jenny Cummings: open mic night at a local coffee shop. No edits, just as is…
Cheers to 7,000! :)
