Yeah, I reckon I knew it all along but just didn't want to believe that the women in our lives could be so sneaky.

Actually Sire I have been trying to catch them hiding stuff they think you are going to need or use and hide it. Then with the expectation that you will finally break down and ask where it is they can immediately reveal its location. This making us feel inferior or inadequate in some way.

I was trying to be nice but I will reveal the conspiracy, It couldn't be us!

You know what I hate Brad, when I'm looking everywhere in the fridge or cupboard or something and can't find what I'm looking for and the after complaining to the wife she just goes there and picks it out. I reckon it's some sort pf female conspiracy.

I really didn't want to go there Sire. I was actually trying to ignore the whole thing. If I really am stuck and I can't locate something I just ask Sheryl or Cait.

Just like when I'm talking about something and they ask me a question like "well what did they look like"? I usually come up with an intelligent answer like "I'danno"

I'm sure they're just doing it to piss the women off. Guys never know where things are anyway so it won't make any difference to them

I swear that Facebook just keeps moving everything so, we can't find it. Then we have to click a million pages to find anything.

I wonder if it will get to the point when people are sick of trying to find common things they use & just stop going.

Kind of like when you go to a store to just pick up a couple of items & you have to wander the isles looking. Yes, the store figures that you will end up buying things you had not planned on but, some people just drive down to the next store because they are in a hurry (they know where the stuff is, they can go in, get it, & be on their way to more important things).

Sometimes change is good but, just moving shit because is not!

Funny thing is that I am over in another forum having a few girls help me figure out wordpress. I find WP to be the biggest pain in the butt.

I can get a b2 set up & going before I even get 1/10 figured out on WP.

I like that b2 has a nice demo up so, people can get a bit of an idea of how & why I mention things I do. Most of them have no idea what b2 is so, it's like we are speaking 2 different languages.

Sheryl

Sire, I fully understand. I was not really fond of that plug in posting for me so, I do my own.

Tam, the best way to organize info in your head & remember it is to teach someone else. I personally do best if I tell someone by voice. Hearing it said may set it in your mind. I can type out How To's all day and still not remember but, once I explain it when talking...BAM I normally remember.

I also remember every single word someone said if they piss me off.

Sheryl

Well I gotta say, I can see why you like them. Checking them out myself for other stuff, cool! However, it is a bit of a learning curve that's for sure errrrr. But man the possibilites. Funny I seen the installation in my web hosting but never really knew what b2evolution was all about until you explained it to me.

Thanks for sharing, I may use them myself in the future.

Howdie Big D,

Hey I have not been a member long myself but I'll tell you what, I love it here! These people are the real deal and help me with everything I need including things I didn't realize I needed How's that for great help? I have pretty much given up my other forums because I get ignored or they talk about things that I really have no interest in or they plain just have no desire to share their "secrets".

Brad and Sheryl both help me here directly on the forum, in chat or on Skype. They spend their personal time with me I feel loved...... and I'm making some other nice friends here too.

In a nutshell, if you like people who are honest and helpful and you like to give back as much as you can as well, this is the place for you!

Tam

One of your questions has already been answered. When I said "Hi from Big D", that wasn't meant as my name, but rather where I'm from. Guess I should have said Hi from Dallas.

I'm new to the internet marketing scene and wanted to see what people were saying on this forum. I haven't had a chance to browse much, but I'll be back soon. As for my website, I'm on hubpages with the same name as I'm using here. I've got 4 new campaigns I'm working on at the moment, so time for chit chat is limited.

Welcome to the Guild Big D.

Tell us a little about yourself and where your from, we love to really get to know our members here.

Make yourself at home, and ask question on a new thread, we love questions!

Just dropping by to see what this site is all about? How is everyone enjoying the experience?

Google labs has a nifty little page that may help you decide what you place closer to the top of your web page - Google Labs Browser Size.

There you will see a odd colored page.
Stick in the url of your site and see what percent of Google users can see how much of your page. You'll notice that the lower & broader you go, the less amount of users would see it.
Google Browser Size is a visualization of browser window sizes for people who visit Google. For example, the "90%" contour means that 90% of people visiting Google have their browser window open to at least this size or larger.

I know I use a 22" monitor and there are some web sites that I have to scroll across. Sometimes all I see is a huge banner at the top of a site. I would hate to think what people on the small laptops would see on these sites.

If you want to test your web site to see how it looks to someone using a different screen size, see our post Test Your Site on Other Screen Sizes

Have fun,
Sheryl

OK, that all makes sense. I don't feel comfortable using that plugin though. I would rather make up my own post and refer to another via a link than doing it via that plugin.

I have a Q for you Sheryl? How can I organize all this awesome info you guys are sputtering out to me in a manner in which my brain understands it all? Answer that one for me and you are my hero!

Sire, yes it can be used to pull your post & placed on their site. Some evil people will even take out the links you have in your post & the link to the original content.

But, any time you put out a full post RSS Feed you run that risk. You also may loose clicks to your actual site if you have a full feed & people read your post in any aggregator like Google Reader.

Many news site will pull in feeds to other sites but, they only post a partial & give a link to the full post at the original site.

I have a thread about the Pro's and Con's of Full RSS Feeds

As for your question...The WP-O-Matic is similar to me pulling feeds into Google Reader But, the WP-O-Matic can be set to post them automatically (or you can pick & choose & post manually). Whereas with my GReader, I would need to "take" the ones I wanted to my site.

When you submit your site to RSS Feed directories, they will pull your feed & post it on their site (most have a character limit).

So it is all in how you use the WP-O-Matic.

Like Tam said, to be a good citizen you would not post complete articles & would always give links to the original.

I also prefer to rewrite the post so it is not just a repeat of any other site. We also installed a Plug in that will automatically take a 1 word/words in a post & interlink it to the corresponding TAG. <-That is another top secret that I thought of because I am lazy. Actually, I did it because I use the FireScribe & did not want to go find the tag links every time for inner linking.

I hope this helps a lil. Keep asking questions & I will keep trying to find answers. LOL!

Sheryl

Sire, yes it appears that's what it "technically" does but from I gathered we would not use the scrapped post as is. Give it a mini rewrite in our own words for the articles of value. Alas it doesn't work on my WP so I can't really tell you for sure but just what I understand it to do

Tam

OK, I'm a little lost. That WP-O-Matic plugin sounds a lot like what was used to scrape content from my blog, and that's a bad thing. Am I missing something?

I don't use Facebook much at all. I don't think I've ever used it to promote my blog. I did use MySpace for a bit, but I haven't been there for quite awhile now.

Twitter is my favorite, it takes less of my time and it brings me more traffic, but then like I said I've never used FB for that so it's not really their fault.
