Too busy devaluing currencies, I suppose.<BR/><BR/>In truth, I try not to feel outrage. There's so much reason for outrage right now that it could consume anyone. PM have been a pathetic bunch of clowns from the start. The only people who didn't realize that were PM and their readers. I think the perfect revenge is to create a society that's smart enough not to be fooled by clowns.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-16204865102277335962009-02-01T14:32:00.000-06:002009-02-01T14:32:00.000-06:00> Last week someone offered me a big bucket of ...> Last week someone offered me a big bucket of nickels to add a link to their "business site"<BR/><BR/>careful, Google will sometimes drop your Page Rank if they think you are linking to spammy sites or link farms. Maybe that one isn't, but be sure.<BR/><BR/>I blog with WordPress self-hosted because I like the platform, and because IMHO it more powerful than Blogger, plus there are enormous numbers of third party themes and plugins. <BR/><BR/>Hosting costs me $15 a month at Laughing Squid who co-lo at Rackspace, so they are solid. And that's the high priced plan! Self-hosting can be fine, and cheap.<BR/><BR/>Another big change happening is social networking sites being used for mini-blogging. Major tech blogger Robert Scoble uses FriendFeed for most his stuff now with his blog just for long posts. That trend will continue.polizeroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644218825187546607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-30227959775269753422009-02-01T14:09:00.000-06:002009-02-01T14:09:00.000-06:00A few of us (Local Connecticut Bloggers) were disc...A few of us (Local Connecticut Bloggers) were discussing the problems with paying for hosting a site. Their common complaint was that as they got bigger they had more problems with Blogger. Now... I can understand taking the whack for a .com addy and pointing it to your Blogspot place. But I see no point in wasting a nickel on a hosting service. It turns fine Bloggers into beggars. It isn't worth the headaches for the few hiccups and burps that Blogspot and Wordpress give you.<BR/><BR/>Last week someone offered me a big bucket of nickels to add a link to their "business site". I am still kind of thinking about it (instead of the 300 dollar video cam I am saving for I could go for a really nice one). I am almost thinking of giving them the link and asking them to pay the money to some Bloggers that are as hard up(Maybe even worse?), moneywise, as we were a year ago... My point is that I don't have to think about it from the standpoint that I must take the money to feed my site. <BR/><BR/>That would just suck, IMHO.Connecticut Man1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08923884330387123010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-76080167066144860082009-02-01T13:36:00.002-06:002009-02-01T13:36:00.002-06:00Obviously, I'm not bored with "buh-bye" yet, eithe...Obviously, I'm not bored with "buh-bye" yet, either...
