I’ve put in some scroll bars on my links lists. You might want to do this as well. The code is fairly simple – <div style="overflow: auto; height: 200px">PUT LIST OF LINKS HERE</div> – you can change the height of the box to suit yourself as well, just change 200px to whatever amount of pixels high you would like the box to be. Thanks go to Sephy who figured out how to do this.
blog housekeeping
Housekeeping for today 23 June
I’m about to go on a cleaning spree here in the home office, as well as on the blog. One thing I am wanting to do this weekend is go back and label old posts. Sometimes when I have done that in the past they have turned up on the RSS feed as a new post. I’m hoping they won’t but if they do, I’m sorry. It shouldn’t last too long.
Those of you who know me well know that I am one of the world’s most disorganized people. Even my computer desktop ends up with a zillion files on it that I have to go through and sort out every so often. But I think I’ve finally cracked the blogging organization jackpot.
I have a massive weekly wrap up coming to you as a surprise this Sunday so look out for that.
US bloggers wanted.. spread the word.
My good mate Sephy was amazed to find there was not a US bloggers community on Bumpzee. So he’s set one up. If you’re from the US and you have a blog, go join it. ;) Members of the Australian Blogs community who know how much fun being a part of a community is, why not tell your US friends about this new community?
Today’s task
I’m still working on adding all the blogs I read to my sidebar. It’s taking longer than I thought because I want to comment on each blog at the same time. Today I’m doing the blogs in the category of Nablopomo in my google reader. These are ones I found during Nablopomo and ended up adding to my reader because I loved them so much. They’re a real mixture of blogs and people.
When I do find out how to sign up for Nablopomo this year I’ll blog about it. It was a worthwhile thing last time but I found out too late to take part so I ended up making my own challenge, which was to comment on every blog participating, sometimes commenting on 100 blogs a day. It was overwhelming but I did keep it up for the whole month. ;) Still did not make it through all the blogs though. There were so many!
Anyway if you get here and I’ve commented on your blog but you can’t find yourself in the list of blogs on the sidebar, it’s because I’m putting them into the list and then updating when I have the whole lot done. If I save the changes each time I make one it will take far too long. :) have patience, it will happen.
10,000 visitors
Sometime over the next day or two this blog will hit 10,000 on the counter. And what a fun journey it has been so far. ;) If you’re the 10,000th visitor make sure to leave a comment!
It is really cold here at the moment, something like 6 degrees. My fingers are ice cold. I think it must be snowing in the snowy mountains and a quick look at the webcams show that they did get snow yesterday, and no wonder because it was something like -4 degrees.
I had this dream last year that I went to the snow with the other half and for some reason Guy Sebastian was there skiing. Odd. But me just typing what I typed above reminded me of that dream so strongly that I went on a little Guy Sebastian you tube trip down memory lane. ;) I tried to find something nice to put here so it wasn’t a wasted journey but nothing felt right, so no music for you. Sorry about that. :)
This job is a real headache..
I have been meaning to do it for a long time, so now is as good a time as any. I want to go through my entire 130+ google subscriptions and let them know I’m reading them via google reader and that I enjoy what they write, and that I’m linking to them in the sidebar of my blog.
So those of you who had links in the sidebar, do not panic, they will return once I get my shizznit together. If you don’t have comments enabled I can’t say anything to you, so sorry about that. ;)
Blog Housekeeping
Over the next few days I’m going to redo the sidebar, so if you want me to link to you there, now is your chance. Pop over here and say “link to me” in the comments, give me the link, and it shall be done. You can link back to me if you want but that’s up to you.
I’m also going to try and put all the blogs I read into the sidebar. Given that there’s so many of them, this is a huge challenge. Stuff will be moved around, so be patient with me. ;)
Those of you who are Aussie and are not a part of the Australian Blogs community on Bumpzee, created by Meg from Dipping into the Blogpond, you might want to sign up. This post here by Meg tells you everything you need to know. I’ve found some great new blogs from this, and there’s an RSS feed where all the blogs who are a part of the community have their posts turn up in. I joined a while back and it’s a blast.
Going back to a full RSS feed.
I can’t believe I am doing this but I read this article and it convinced me to change back to a full RSS feed. This does not give lurkers an excuse to never stop in at the blog.. ;) Please drop by and comment if you have something to say.
Sometime today – I will be posting a men we love to watch post. ;)
De-Lurk
Sephy mentioned this today. Apparently it’s de-lurking week, when you take the time and stop by the folks you read in your Google Reader or Bloglines, and say hi. So say hi today :) I’ll have about 117 Hi’s to say, I’ll try to do it by the end of the week. hehe
I managed to stop (for now) at 6 episodes. It’s like a drug, people. I’m hooked.
I spoke with Anna Falactic about The West Wing a little while ago. I do think it is easier for a non-American to watch, because there’s a big distance between me and your politics. I really don’t know what the difference between a Democrat and a Republican is over there. But I don’t think The West Wing is so much about American Politics as it is about the people involved in the process. And I really like the characters.
Enough.
You don’t have the balls to put a name to your comment, I’m deleting it. Sorry about that, but this is my blog. Want to say what you want? Make your own blog, fucknuts. ;)
