How to use this Page

I took a break from filling out online resumes yesterday to finally start making some of those blog changes I wanted. Thanks to Webtalks’ Ashwini Khare, I was able to upload the three column design after I made a few upgrades to my site. It took a lot longer than I thought it would, but I’m happy with the result. I’ll probably be changing the arrangement of the different topics in the sidebars later this week, so please let me know what you think about the set-up.

I had to remove the sidebar topics that held the “Blogs of Note,” Author Interviews/Guest Blogs, and the Doing My Homework/Book Sense 101 columns, but I was able to re-label all of those (with the exception of Blogs of Note—and I plan to do that soon) with the appropriate tag. Now if you want to look at any of these items, just click the appropriate tag and they should show up. If you find a column that you believe is mis-tagged, please let me know. I did this late into last night and started up again this morning. There are seven columns that I could not label because every time I tried the blog would erase, but I’ve got a few things I’m going to try to fix that.

In the coming days I will be updating my profile, posting new columns and continuing to update the look of Bookseller Chick. Now is the time to also let me know about any links that need updating, links that need removed, and links that need to be added. Also, any and all suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. Part of good marketing is having a site that you can navigate well, and I’m interested to hear your thoughts.

Hey all,

I keep getting an error message when I try to log on to blogger or along the top of blogs when I attempt to access them. Hopefully this is just a mozilla/Pc evil thing (or a passing blogger issue that is no more), but I'm accessing this from a Mac at a friend's house. I'm really hoping this isn't a problem with my computer as I have a lot of really great things coming this week.

Either way I'll find some way to get them up.

Have a great day!

There’s this poem I read in the summer after my eighth grade year when I was in the Summer Enrichment Program down at U of O. For years now it has haunted me because I can’t remember much about it other than I like it. Oh, and that it started with something like “I’m thinking of committing suicide off the bridge behind my house…,” ended with the repetition of “the grackles, the grackles, the grackles” and that the author’s name might have been Spanish.

Sweet bejezuz, I’m turning into one of my customers! Still, if you know what I’m talking about, please email me. Please. This has been killing me for years! It was a funny poem. Yes, it was. A funny poem starts with talking about committing suicide. It is not as weird as it sounds.

Anywho, moving on. Um, yeah. So the poem talks about the incessant sound of the grackles and last night it was all about the incessant sound of the phone ringing with questions about the ponies.

And about whether or not we were a completely legal operation, “‘Cause I had this friend who did this off-shore betting and he lost a lot of money when they didn’t pay out…”

Dude, we’re not that kind of gambling organization. The states invite us in. Unlike the mob we don’t just move in and take over!

Unless we are the mob, and I’ve been brainwashed by watching the ponies run and run. Oh, the ponies, the ponies, the ponies. Everything is Zen if you’re watching the ponies.

Well, it’s Zen unless you’re dealing with blogger—which I’ve been doing. I’m so tired of all the log in problems and weird post ickiness I’ve dealt with since the new blogger program took affect. I’m going to start looking into alternative programs today between calls and see if I can come up with some sort of alternative.

Of course that means teaching this old pony some new tricks, a questionable thing when one has been brainwashed by the mob.

If there are any of you out there who would like to share your expertise in the ways of Wordpress or other programs, please drop me an email. I value you knowledge and direction.

In return, I’ll tell you how to bet on the ponies and win.*

*The answer to this being, don’t bet on the ponies at all. You may not make any new money, but you didn’t lose any either.
