Just Smile and Nod…

My blog, as read by Steven Hawking

January16

It doesn’t look like many of you noticed this, so I will mention it. The other night I put a couple extra buttons on the website (yes I work on my website while I am on vacation, what’s it to ya????). They at least temporarily replaced the “fish” section above recent blog entry’s.

The buttons are (l-r):
-Auto-podcast version of The Born Smartass!
-Atom/RSS XML Feed link (use this link to insert into rss readers, there are TONS)
-Del.icio.us post button (delicious is a social bookmarking website that is now extremely popular)

You may have absolutely no use for these buttons, but they are there for convenience. The first one, well technically it’s there to make my website visible to the blind, but come on…. It’s just cool to have somebody else read everything you write. I mean yeah, it fucks up the emotion (it has none) and misses some of the words and humor, but it is humorous in it’s own right.

I thought this was fun, and I had to go through some crazy shit to get my entire feed to work and auto-update (since my feed is incompatible with that website’s feed reader). However it’s all good now and should at least give you a laugh.

Syndication feed is a given, either you will use it (because you know what it is), or you won’t.

Del.icio.us icon, I hope to increase my return visits, since in theory there will be more people bookmarking me with it. May not help, but I needed to fill the excess space anyways.

  • okay, i listened to your stephen hawking blog speaker...and i enjoyed it. it's sweet. seriously. it was well worth the trouble (though i don't know how much you really did...so...*shrug*).

    Next step would be to animate all your updates, and make it into a cartoon series akin to the Strong Bad Emails. I prefer your ritty gritty reality to the honky dory world of his. ;)

    OMG! The podcasting was freakin' hilarious! LOL! Gotta go...I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!!!
  • hmm, so you do your advertising by searching for places that mention del.icio.us ?

    Honestly the site is nice, perhaps better than delicious, but it hasn't replaced it yet and won't increase my traffic so you are currently SOL
  • Instead of del.icio.us, why not go with www.blinklist.com? I was hoping that you might like to check it out and perhaps you might find it to be a delicious alternative. You can just import our links so no need to start over. If you do check out our site, I would love to hear your thoughts. Mike
  • i did see those links up above, but i prefer to read up on your website by hand. Still, i'll humor myself one of these days and hear your Stephen Hawking voice. should be a good laugh. ;)
