Yet another week?

First, many thanks to Erica who reveled to me the secret button for individual post comments. How silly of my to have been looking in the code of the template for something like that.

I don’t know why I’m feeling so run down… geez, I hope I’m not getting sick… no one around here has been sick that I know about, so I have no idea where I would have gotten any germs from. Of course, it could be the weather that’s doing it… 2 big storms right in a row followed by a week of temperatures that sometimes approached 70 F (this may be CA, but 70 F in January is just wrong)… suddenly things are starting to bloom again. This is our green season… the rest of the country is frozen solid under multiple feet of snow, and our hills are being transformed by their green spring finery. Yes, I’m sure those who are living in piles of white at the moment are jealous to here that it was sunny and warm here, but remember, our green will be gone within a few months as everything dries out until we get rain again come December. It’s kind of dreary living in a place that’s brown most of the year. So, anyways… yeah… flowers = pollen = me sneezing my head off.

But, thanks to a couple of nice members of FiberRaok, I can get myself some nice tea to help if my throat and sinuses decide to rebel. *grin* I also received a great welcome ecard from another member. Everyone in this group seems so friendly, it’s really quite nice. I’m looking forward to being a part of it… just need to figure out how to manage reading so many blogs.

I actually have some picture to share today. Yea! Hmmm… of course, now that I’m trying to get to my photo hosting service to get the links, I’m getting tons of page not found. They must be having problems. *pout* I’m sorry, you’ll just have to wait… but anticipation can make things better. :/

HaloScan comments question

I know lots of people out there use HaloScan for their comments… hopefully, one of you will be able to help me.

When I put the HaloScan code in place I had a couple days of problems with trying to remove the Blogspot comments code. On my main page everything looks good. But today I found out that the Blogspot comments code still appears on the individual post pages. Any ideas on where the code that controls this is found so I can take it out?

Thanks in advance. 🙂

A request

Hello to those of you who come to read my blog…

There has been a request for an RSS feed of my blog… and I have no idea how to do that (I believe it’s going to be covered in my Info Tech Tools class later this semester). I went with Blogger cause I’m not all that savvy in the blogging world (I know basic HTML and that’s about it at the moment; thankfully, that should be changing as this semester progresses (see reference to class above)… geez, can you believe I was once a Comp Sci major who loved programming *sigh* I am so not a geek anymore.). It took me 2 days to get Haloscan to work correctly. So, I’m in need of some instructions… or should I just join Bloglines?

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Edit: Okay, I was looking at Blogger help and it said that this sort of stuff is all set up already. I verified my settings… and it says this should be my atom feed: http://zardra.blogspot.com/atom.xml. Does that help?

If I’m completely wrong, let me know. 🙂

Excitement in Blogger World

Nothing quite like accidently deleting your entire template while trying to add Haloscan comments to your blog. That was a lot of fun. Decided that I wanted a tmeplate with a little more color. Had to track down all the links I had on my sidebar and set them up again. Had to redo the code for the comments… at least this time I got them set up where I wanted them.
