The website is nowhere near the design that I wanted to showcase here. However, their printed Front Page of the newspaper is the design I like. They have taken the bulk of the stories away from the front page and in its place replace it with graphic pictures and headlines. Here is a picture of two separate days, Saturday and Sunday. You can see how they kind of look similar, but in a way they are quite different with the blocks of text or formatting of the stuff on the page. It’s not a great picture, and it’s too large for me to scan it. This picture does NOT do justice either, because except for the top large box .. it’s always different to fit the text and stories!

* One of the sites mentioned in my October 27, 2006 - 2 post .. is up now.

* I’m using the sidebar widget plugin!

I’ve never used the widget because it affects the way I’ve been manually updating all of my sidebars. However, I finally figured it out .. if you add more TEXT boxes .. you can just insert all of that crap in there! Where the syndication RSS button and feedburner count is - that’s in a TEXT box - completely modified within Wordpress Theme Presentation Editor. I must say - what you can do to the header colors - was new to me. I don’t use the default templates - ever - well, until now. I think I will leave the default on this blog.

* October 2006 Month-End is quite busy for me .. I am excited to see two of my newest blogs in creation almost ready - but the truth of the matter is I have to walk away until the end of next week as I get some stuff off of my plate. I will introduce the two new blogs in due time. One will be interesting (I hope *knock on wood*) .. the other will not be interesting and in fact more of an experiment with plugins and theme designs.

* RUTH is in the process of moving, and (as I’m aware) will not be around much blogging until mid-November 2006

It’s discouraging at times ..

* PetLvr.com - [The Blog] reached another milestone on Tuesday … it’s 2,000th post!

I started that blog on May 31, 2005 and on January 26, 2006 we hit our 1,000th post. So, on average it’s taking me about 8 months or so to post about 1000 entries or approximately 4 posts per day since inception.

When I look at my Feedburner count graphic in the sidebar, at this very moment on October 27, 2006 at approximately 2:00am .. it is showing 38 subscribers .. THIRTY-EIGHT SUBSCRIBERS! Of course, I never really concern myself with the accuracy of this feedcount number - because it varies every day by at least +10 to -10 from the actual.

My Page Rank Sucks

* I finally had the guts to look at my page rank scores - from the last time I looked (or rather the first time that I recorded it in a text file on my desktop) - May 20, 2006 - to last night - October 23, 2006. I created a little Excel spreadsheet and put some rankings side-by-side …

* Overall - my sites reduced by MINUS 4 –> and that includes two huge changes - from a PR=4 to PR=0 and from a PR=6 to a PR=2 …

It was our 1-Year Anniversary This Week

* Here’s our post from October 16, 2005 starting this network .. in my attempt to pool resources and cross link posts and blogs and hopefully get some more traffic.
* Besides just promoting new sites in the network (which has been far and few in between) .. I have started to post period stuff like these “Quickies” posts and my new “Designs That I Like” .. and will keep trying to think of something to keep this site going

You’ve probably seen this site .. it’s almost like a service - write yourself a letter and in ten years this site will email you .. but he’s turned it into a website.

This site is just an honorable mention that was in my bookmarks … It just goes to show that despite having a black background, if the colors aren’t too annoying .. and the content worth reading .. it really doesn’t have to have a white background with black text
