BUZZ BLOGGER

OK, I don’t really know what I am doing here.  I hope it is not something that will ruin things for my blog. 

So I need some advice and help re: PINGing and Technorati…

I think that after posting this post, and experimenting with it, I may remove it.

All my ramblings do seem wild and crazy when I read them over again.

Here’s what happened: I was concerned that my Technorati rating had not changed.  I thought I had done whatever was necessary at BlogSpot  to automatically ping Technorati if there was anew post.

But then I went to Technorati and it said it had not been updated in 14 days.  I had been writing like mad over the last several days – 21 posts in the last 14 days!. That is major writing for me! So it should have been updated.

I GOOGLED “ping technorati” and found that perhaps, BLOGGER does not work with automatic pings to Technorati.

Could this be true?

BLOGGER does not automatically PING Technorati?!!

There was a post that said to add some text into my blog,(http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping) but it did not say where. If I put this text into my blog supposedly it would automatically ping Technorati, but WHERE to put it?  In each and every blog post? In only one blog post?  I wasn’t sure…

Then I found this site called BlogBUZZER. I typed in my blog info. They activated some code. They said I should put the code into any page of my blog. One time of inserting on any page would send a ping to any place like Technorati that I had selected to ping. 

Who can tell me what all these other places (Like Technorati) were? I had only heard of Technorati.  David Warlick calls them “information gathering services on the Internet”. I picked a couple that sounded vaguely familiar.  So now I am writing another post after inserting that BlogBUZZER Code on my previous post. 

BTW, It did make a little icon or widget at the bottom of that post.

So I am trying this to see if this works.

If you read this and know what I am talking about (because I really don’t know what I am talking about), please respond and let me know what I am doing, right or wrong!

HELP!

Some things are more clear after reading David Warlick’s post here.

30D2BBB CONTINUES...

WOW! I am so excited to be accomplishing SOME of the 30 day challenges.

I have already learned so much and also gotten so much help. I will keep on working the 30 challenges, but it will probably take me more than 30 days to finish.

SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!

First, Steve Dembo was right there when I didn't know how to do something.
Later, when Steve was busy at the GATECH conference, I asked fellow bloggers at Successful Teaching and CLIOTECH for advice and help.

They were all so helpful and led me to even more help.

This blogging world is great. I am so thankful to my "new friends" and their helpfulness.

Love to Learn

I just love to learn.
I am especially enamored with technology, but I love to make things easier in life and to help others learn. Technology can help with this.
I also enjoy the community that can be found via technology. You can learn and find out about anything. There are so many people willing to help you. They don't really KNOW you, but they want to help.
I can easily get lost in the web. There is so much there and I find so much of it interesting. There is never enough time to search and read, and do all that I want to do. AND I AM "RETIRED."
I guess I need to get a job to channel some of this energy and enthusiasm.
The big question is WHAT JOB?
I love my flexibility. I love working with people and technology. I love to help people.
I will continue to ponder this as I enjoy "surfing the web," meeting new friends, and learning.

MY TECH - Getting even better

I have added my blog list to my blog page. WOO HOO! I am getting so tech-savvy!

I joined Live Journal http://www.livejournal.com/ earlier today and joined a group called computer help; they were able to solve 2-3 COMPUTER problems that I have had since Christmas! I feel soooo good about all this. This Christmas present (COMPUTER FIX) was leftover from last Christmas and I just found it this year! LOL

I also made a semi-choice to perhaps (am I a little wishy-washy about this?) go back to school for my Masters even at this OLD AGE!
I already have a masters in Education with a concentration in Reading and Language Arts, but this would be in Technology.
Probably no one will ever hire an OLD LADY, but I will enjoy the time I spend learning and using what I learn. I DO LOVE TO LEARN!
Perhaps SOMEONE out there will see my abilities and want to use them! Then I can have my dream job again!

need some help

OKay. I don't know if anyone else will look at this post, but someone found me recently.. from CA.

I have completely lost my PAINT software off my computer and am not sure where to go to get it replaced;

I saw on a Microsoft help spot that this happened to someone else and it was suggested that perhaps they only lost the shortcut to the program, but I don't think my program is anywhere on the computer.
It has been gone for several months now. I really can't say exactly when I noticed it was not there; Prior to Christmas and perhaps prior to Thanksgiving.

I have done a search to look for any files with "mspaint" in them; the 4 that I found do not work; I think one is an uninstall file and the others are in the Virus scan folder and then there is nothing in those file folders!

Can anyone help me with this problem?
