Yahoo + Blogger ?
- Comments Off
So I tripped across a new nifty function I have found with the new blogger. You can use Blogger as your hosting site, but have it appear under whatever domain you want (that you own). I already own a domain that I registered with Yahoo (http://www.bigcajunman.com) just for fun and kicks. I also have a [...]
Bloody Spamming Commenters
- Comments Off
Whatever you do when you set up your blog or web site you must be diligent pulling the weeds in your site, which is SPAM. Yes, people leave these asinine comments which usually have NOTHING to do with your post, but it includes a link to their Adsense site, which consists of two links and [...]
Topic is important too
- Comments Off
Haven’t really talked about this, but you need to find a topic for your blog that you actually give a flying hoot about, or your writing is going to be quite labored at the end of it all. I write about finance mostly because it is more of a cathartic kind of thing. I complain [...]

WordPress: Nirvana
- Comments Off
So now I had Xampp running on my laptop, and it didn’t seem to be causing too many problems while running, so that was great. I had Apache, MySQL and PHP humming along nicely, so now it was time to start tackling the installation of WordPress on my PC. To recap, I was doing this [...]
The Journey continues
- Comments Off
So, I was pretty much frustrated trying to piece together Apache, PHP and MySql on my system so that I could then put WordPress up, and then finally allow me to learn how this blogging system works, and was seriously thinking about chucking the whole mess and not worrying about it. My boss pointed out [...]
