i’m still seething.
this is a test post. i’m trying to figure some of this shit out by myself right now because that wordpress bullshit got me so unbelievably angry that i’m not fit for human company.
this is a new little thing i’m trying to include on the site but as you can see, it renders bizarrely. i’ll leave this post here in case someone from the site comes over here to take a look at what i’m talking about – i’m about to email them for some support.
hopefully they’ll be a lot nicer than the wordpress goons.

Well, I just heard back from Brad at indieKarma, and yeah, not only did he respond to me on a Saturday, which is very cool to begin with, but he was actually a very nice guy and explained what the problem probably was (snarky CSS), and asked for a week to try to sort it out on their side. He was totally casual penis. I approve highly, and because he was a nice guy I’m totally a fan of indieKarma. Plus they gave me a free dollar to start off with! Sweet!
It’s so much easier to be a decent human being than it is to be a raging, foaming cock, you know? And, I might add, better for business. Nobody in Bedford Falls liked Mr. Potter, but everyone just loved George Bailey.
Good luck, indieKarma guys! Let me know if I can help out somehow. And thank you for not being a dick to me, Brad. I’ve had a bad couple of days. Your being a decent guy, not treating me like an idiot, and giving me such a helpful reply to my support request really helped me feel a little bit better.

I’m not sure what that little thinger is supposed to do, but it keeps growing and shrinking, and moving the whole page about…

“this is a new little thing i’m trying to include on the site but as you can see, it renders bizarrely. i’ll leave this post here in case someone from the site comes over here to take a look at what i’m talking about – i’m about to email them for some support.”
and the edit below it indicates that i heard back from ‘em and they’re fixing it, you goofy man. <3
the little thinger is a widget from indieKarma and it’s kinda neato. theyre giving a free dollar to the first 5,000 people who sign up; and the deal is that if you are a member of indieKarma and you visit someone who also has the widget on their page, you automatically donate a penny to ‘em.
then you can click their widget on their page and choose if you want to donate nothing from then on, or donate more, etc., etc., so every time you hit their page you donate whatever amount you set. you can customize a little comment that will display on their widget, as well.
then the widgets will show you as having donated and your little comment (if you leave one), and link back to your site so other folks can visit you. it might only be a penny or so at a time but it would probably add up pretty fast once there is a large network of members and you have a high traffic site. neither of which i’ll probably ever have to worry about, but i thought it was a neato idea so i joined up =)
wheee!
how are you baybee? missed talking to you last week!
/licks to you and din

Posted 14 Jan 2007 at 13:15 ¶Me? Well since you asked, I think it’s pretty sexy. You should do what I said though and find a script that changes the colors based on the time of day. A twilight color set and a dawn color set! Genius! Because I thought of it! NOW DO IT! DO IT NAAAOOOW!

that sig would be hilarious if it weren’t so true. :P
Posted 14 Jan 2007 at 13:23 ¶I dig the colors, and I think its purdy. The sidebars are ginormous and I get distracted going through the links, but still, ginchy.
Posted 14 Jan 2007 at 20:33 ¶Man it’s totally hilarious AND true! I’d write you one but I’m still stunned with the fact that mum is watching Full House. It.. it just.. gawd..

Posted 14 Jan 2007 at 22:05 ¶<3<3 :D
Posted 14 Jan 2007 at 22:06 ¶I think indieKarma has much larger problems to worry about than simply the display for their widget being wonky.
