  • Fix Site Stats…

    Since the WordPress.com Support cannot be contacted until October 29: Can you please fix my site stats?

    • My other registered WordPress.com weblog (Private) has activities done on September and October 2011 while I’m still logged as admin.
    • Why are there 204 View from Today’s “Referrers”: WordPress.com?
    • Will NON-permalinks EVER be captured as part of the Site Stats?
    • Can you capture Site Stats to differentiate/include visits done via WordPress apps, such as Android, etc?
  • Talent good…

    Last night, we saw Cain singing from an old 1991 video. So while some politicians have the gift of gab or were born with a silver soon in their mouths, surely there are other skills, talent, and abilities a potential POTUS could possibly possess and inspire others to find their best assets.

  • Watching debate…

    I’m watching the western republican presidential debate. Well, tonight I am hoping to learn from these potential POTUS. All of them are okay. I really don’t have any favorites, really. Everyone gets to serve.

    If you can touch my heart and bring tears to my eyes, then we resonate at some level. For example, during the MLK memorial on October 16, there was a song “We Can Overcome”. This evening on our local radio station, Mark R. Levin offered to help a dying guy. I was moved in both instances.

    Sharing reasonable facts and telling the truth would help me better understand this current reality and further meditate on the direction of our nation and the whole world.

    Good luck chumps, err, friends.

  • 20111018-Bored Again

    Hallelujah! I’m bored again!

    High-altitude, armada of BABY wispy clouds were in the skies early this morning, just like yesterday. Then an old chemtrail cloud was directly over our house and seemed to have terminated somewhere past the Great Mall (in Milpitas, CA) at around 10:00am. The LONG popcorn cloud reminded me of a dude who won’t let up with his shenanigans. Call it his “call card” if you will.

    After walking, talking and eating lunch at Carl’s Jr where there was a cute white baby girl babbling intelligently enough for Maw to get up and take a look and compliment, I spent most of the afternoon blogging! That’s right! I found out that domain renewals are non-refundable! Blast! So I’ve moved my Plinky.com responses over to thebloggingpath site and then changed the status from “Private” to “Published”.

    Further, the Ephemera widget (from the Twenty-Eleven WordPress.com theme) are those posts which used to be my static pages! I like it better this way because this widget appears in both places: “Main Sidebar” and “Showcase Sidebar”. Again the “variable” widgets are in Footer Area One while the “fixed” widgets are in Footer Area Two. Footer Area Three is optional, too.

  • Come back, chickens!

    A few minutes ago, I just checked the Support. And in honor of the upcoming Harvest season, this is the message I see:

    “Support is closed while the company meets up and works together for the next week. We will be back on October 29th.

    In the meantime, please use the search box below to find a solution to any problems. Alternatively, head to the WordPress.com Forums if you’re in a pickle, there are some great volunteers who will be able to sort you out, and we’ll also be checking in there regularly.”

    Almost every WordPress.com user here has issues and the volunteeers over at the WordPress.com Forums have to keep bumping these newbies off.

    I have issues already typed out and now the Contact support won’t get to it until another week! Here are two issues that I wanted to send today but couldn’t because they are “hiding” from the minions:

    • I need a refund for an extra year and I want that domain name deleted. Make it two domain names. I don’t have any use for those domain names. It is such a waste of money. And by the way, I want to make sure the “private domain registration” is still intact until after everything is expired. Actually, I don’t care.
    • I want my Blog Stats fixed/reset for another registered WordPress.com site. I thought the Blog Stats won’t be counted as long as the admin is logged into the account(s). WTF is going on? There has been activities done in Sept 2011 and Oct 2011!

     

  • 20111016-Tweaking Again

    I’ve switched WordPress.com themes after discovering a “Page Style” in the Firefox internet browser. I could toggle selections between “Basic Page Style” to “No Style” to copy/paste data into a downloadable format (i.e. .doc, .txt, .pdf, etc). And this is for archiving purposes of which I have submitted a Support request.

    Again, I want a free/paid theme with control over the hardcodes at least to have the date/time stamps for original post and updated version and the author, just like Almost Sprint, Dusk and Quintin. I really don’t care about the category and tags. Those can be “hidden” in the background, just like a theme option found in the iNove theme.

    As for the Ratings Setup, I removed those from the Posts, Pages and Comments. There was really at least one blogger using this feature. He gave me “five stars” each time. And recently I’ve gotten two posts with “one star”. It doesn’t tell me much as to WHY such ratings are provided by readers.

    As for the Share Settings, only three buttons  are shown only in “Front Page, Archive Pages, and Search Results“: Email, Print and Press This. I wanted the single post view to be free of clutter for archiving purposes.

    As for blogging, I want to stop blogging via WordPress for Android. Its features are limited. And I want to discontinue my cellphone service because it is a waste of money. If there is an emergency, that’s okay. No one cares to call and I don’t care to call. So it works both ways.

  • WordPress Value Bundle

    Besides the unusal bold fonts via the “content” section of my Visual ad, I see the following message under the “paid-upgrades.php” page of Store:

    “Save $99 USD per year.

    Buy Now

    Save up to 40% on our most popular upgrades with this great new bundle.

    Get all of these great features to super-charge your blog in one simple purchase.

    • Domain Name & Mapping
    • 5GB Space Upgrade
    • No Ads
    • Custom Design
    • Video Press”

    I currently don’t like using this domain name and want my own personalized domain name from another registered WordPress.com account, which is currently set to Private. I am tempted once again to purchase something on impulse without first considering my dire straits financially. But the Contact support is not available:

    Support is closed over the weekend whilst we work on improving our level of service. We’ll update with more information on Monday, October 17th.

    In the meantime, please use the search box below to find a solution to any problems. Alternatively, head to the WordPress.com Forums if you’re in a pickle, there are some great volunteers who will be able to sort you out, and we’ll also be checking in there regularly.

  • 20111016-Daily Stuff

    At 12:37am, I’ve finished 41 more Plinky.com prompts rather quickly. Earlier this evening for about two hours or so, I’ve shared 345 old prompts in my other registered WordPress.com weblog.

    Earlier this morning and prior to attending this evening’s mass, I’ve archived old posts. I learned that fifty items per bulk action is a good number to work with when pressed for time.

    I figured that blogging too much is not good. It just makes archiving that much harder. So I’ll try to create one BIG post per day. But I don’t think that will work well because a generic post title doesn’t tell the readers much.

    The usual three course meals were eaten and hair cuts were done (Maw to Paw, Moi to Maw and Maw to Moi). Parakeets were overfed and sluggish, too. Maw completed her “embroidered” stiches using her Brother’s sewing machinge. Now my two long-sleeve sweat shirt has pretty designs.

    The day was filled with wispy clouds, popcorn clouds (like yesterday) and HAARP clouds, too. The sunshine was its usual bright and white self but the winds blew cool with this evenings air being that much colder.

  • Inactive sidebar…

    So I’m cleaning up my other registered WordPress.com blog and met the following message:

    Inactive Sidebar (from previous theme)

    This is a left over sidebar from an old theme and does not show anywhere on your site


    It was a an old RSS Links widget with Large, Orange Texts & Image Links for both Posts & Comments. And after I deleted that widget and refreshed that webpage, this middle section disappeared altogether!

  • Taking America…

    For a while, my thought has been about how America is being taken over by TPTB and pals. They got the banks, autos, health and now jobs. I wonder what else will be taken away and where it all go. I wonder if America is/has been re-written.

  • Dashboard burping…

    What’s going on with my WordPress.com dashboard! It looks funny! For the past few minutes, it jumped around and items were complete expanded horizontally and vertically, too. Can you please design the Dashboard so that it user friendly for SLOWER internet connections AND personal computers?
