Site theme update
I got tired of having to size my images so small on my site and having the content use about one third of the width of my screens. I checked with google analytics and only 2.6, % of my visitors are running an 800×600 resolution. And of that small segment of visitors, 98% are new …
How to keep Google from caching your pages
I made a notable change on a previous post – i made it private. A look at my logs showed that a former friend was lurking and reading (i wrote about him before and he was a bit mean-spirited). I also realized that any efforts i make toward reconciliation will continue to be rebuffed so …
Blogging swag
Blogging swag Originally uploaded by zieak I participated in the annal October ‘blog action day’ for the two years It has taken place. Today I received the hardcover book "Causewired" and a tub of ideablob. Yeah – I don’t know about the ideablob. But the book is about modern technology supporting causes. I’ve admittedly not …

Added Recaptcha to the site to annoy you
Every now and then some spam slips through the filters that WordPress has. Since I switched to WordPress to publish my blog, 38,137 spam comments have been caught and not posted by Akismet. I’m ok with having to delete one or two comments manually. But adding the reCaptcha service to the site might make that …
Reinstalled AXS
I found that i really missed the valuable information that AXS provided regarding my site visitors. I was using Google Analytics (which I’m still using) but it couldn’t isolate IP addresses (probably over concerns over people’s privacy) or give much more than very generic and vague information on site visitors. I’ll still use the service …
