I’ll probably work on the header again now that I’m starting to become more familiar with this theme and how it works, but I’m going to let it sit for awhile and see how I like it, what I want to change. In the meantime, I had to fix those sidebars. And holy cow, are…
Category: Internet and Computers
I like computers. I like the Internet. I design my own website and blog. I write on them all, from time to time.
New Header Image
Well, fiddled with my header image in Corel, keeping in mind that I was constrained in how many pixels wide and high it could be, and finally got something that worked with the new look. I would have preferred it to have been wider, but the way this theme is set up, the image takes…
Brand New Website for Brand New Year
I’m trying to eat my cake and have it too. Wanting to start off my first free year on a fresh foot, I just about killed myself today looking for a new theme, one I could customize, that would feature both my writing and my photography and maybe down the road my videography, and that…
Upgrading Blues
Right in the middle of the Christmas season, all my online software providers decide to upgrade their programs, and just to make the point that I gotta upgrade NOW, the Russians storm my comments section with SPAM. Don’t they have nothing better to do with themselves? Obviously, they don’t have issues of buying cards, making…
On Bookpiggy’s Nightstand
Awhile ago, I participated in miniBookExpo and had my book claimed for review. I didn’t see anything appear and just about forgot about it. But I follow minibookexpo on Twitter, and one of its tweets got me to check out its site and then to look for Lifeliner’s reviewer. And much to my sweet surprise,…
Blogging on Canada, The Coalition, and Harper
I’ve had one heck of a fun day, blogging and tweeting on the rapid political changes happening in Ottawa. The House of Commons has suddenly become a bloodbath, but instead of the red stuff coming out of the Liberals, it’s coming out of the Tories, with Prime Minister Stephen Harper ironically the lead butcher. I’ve…
Finished up my Series on Going Ubuntu
With the much-anticipated release of the semi-annual upgrade to Ubuntu, I decided to finish up my Going Ubuntu series as I upgraded my Hardy Heron version of Ubuntu to the Intrepid Ibex version. (I love the naming of the upgrades!) Of course, nothing ever goes smoothly. Even when it’s supposed to be one click, two…
A New Link on My Blogroll
I stumbled across this page one day when I saw my blog was listed on it. Opinions Canada is a website that tracks blogs, written in English and French, that feature opinions across the political spectrum. There are some thoughtful bloggers and more radical ones here, and unlike other blog trackers, it lists French ones…
Blogging on Jeejeebhoy.ca with ScribeFire
I’m trying to simplify my blogging so I can spend more time writing instead of logging in, surfing around, navigating the blogging site, copying and pasting all over the place, clicking here, there, and everywhere, never mind waiting for blogger or WordPress to login. In the past, I’d tried ScribeFire umpteen times on my own…
