Sometimes its quite useful to have your own watchlist… since there’s little time in my holidays to cover all the things with which I’ve been keeping myself busy. NetReaper has some more input on Magnus, Kelly and the Girliezine:
The logical anti-movement is simple: The anti-girliezine blog under the banner of „Lies create the Media“.
I encourage people to visit the anti-girliezine blog instead of reading the original one…
I’ve been reading through Thomas‘ great input concerning the Custom Boxes – a good idea about implementing some more functionality to your blog. However, the idea of supporting public referer lists is quite problematic as many referers are faked by spammers. Similar to the idea of comment spamming, they post their URLs into the referer header just to lure visitors via referer lists to their sites. Here is an excerpt from my own referer list found in the admin interface and my personal reason not to include this gadget at all – sex and cash advertisement shall not be part of my blog!

I believe I might find some time to continue the translation of the Blogspirit software’s language package into the German language later this evening. I’m eager to compile the whole PoEdit input to finish my promises. Unfortunately, the exams for university stroke me like a serious blast, and now the trip to Berlin costs way too much time to find small portions of a cleared mind… ;)
The German telecommunication company T-Online, a subsiduary branch of the T-Com (Telecom) company, launches its own Weblog portal with a monthly subscription fee of 3,99 Euros paid via the telephone bill. The software is based on Typepad and it is powered by Six Apart. Personally, I would not use this tool as they require payment from the first use of the software package. I believe that a minimal free-to-use functionality such as Blogspirit’s offer is a must-do for any bloghoster company. T-Online is just ripping off the users in my eyes…
Apparently, an error has tweaked the Blogspirit system within the templates (Design > Advanced settings). The „Syndication Rss2.0“ template links are showing the atom.htm file while editing, viewing the original version and restoring the original. I strumbled across this problem as I noticed the RSS feed was encoded in UTF-8 while I prefer to encode my feed in ISO-8859-15 to show special characters found in the German alphabet. I hope Blogspirit is going to fix this link error soon!
For a couple of days the new search engine Blogfox.de allows its visitors to review various blogs and feeds. Nico Lumma of Blogg.de believes the Blogfox spider crawls files even if they are forbidden or restricted by the robots.txt – proof can be found in the logfiles of Blogg.de. Especially after being notified of these matters, the owner of Blogfox made a statement that their spider bot crawled several sites with all free accessable files, including opml, serp and other informational data. I personally believe these sites are meant to fail. To steal content from your competitors is one thing, but not to admit this treachery of honest content distribution is another one…
I was surprised today as I received an email by Blogspirit concerning the communities I created a long time ago. The email below was automatically generated by the software, but unfortunately I am unable to find any kind of email notification settings within the administration panel. This does not mean that I dislike the feature, but I’d rather prefer to select what kind of emails I receive and which are rather redundant. I strumbled upon the idea of tracking comments via email as Philippe filed me a reply to my comment via email. Apparently, the function for „email notification upon new comment entry“ must be hidden somewhere in the settings – but am I too blind to find it? Perhaps Thomas or Philippe himself may have the answer… and now back to the email about the community.
Subject: A new blog in your BlogSpirit community

First of all a warm welcome to the BadBrother Blog called „Drippings of a constipated mind …“! This guy already created some interesting articles concerning the situation of Blogspirit. But the miraculous wonderings most people had about the free service of Blogspirit are easily explained in the recent changes of the software package. A free and a paid version will offer different functions and abilities for your blog.
Now I’m fed up with the whole situation. Thankfully, Thomas offered some help with my problem. But somehow I sense there’s an error in the URL redirection of the comments processing as usually the finally sent comment will appear on the article’s permalink site – but with this current comments processing, it lures the user to the „preview comment“ page over and over. I wrote Thomas this email – of course I have no file attached here:
Dear Thomas,
I was unable to update the comments template with my own layout
modifications, but now your admin interface allows me to do that. However, I
took the restored code for the comments template and placed it again online
– including my layout additions.Now it behaves like the following:
If I preview the comment (from the first time on the permalink page), the
preview page of the comments template includes all my comment values and
shows me the preview. If I modify the comment and preview it again, it shows
the preview fine, too.This is the problem:
Whenever I send the comment and not preview anymore, be it from the
permalink page or the comment preview page, it shows me the comment preview
page again without any input (not the mhash, not the post_id, not the
comment, name, link and email) and without redirecting to the original
permalink page to see my comments. You may test this on your own in my blog.
I’m not sure what I forgot or where I made a mistake in the comment
template.I attached the modified comment template to this email. I erased a few
things in the first area of the meta tags as they are actually obsolete to
my own modifications. Most of my modifications are inserted between line 62
and 112 as the header and first part of the body’s layout, while I erased
the banner-div layers around line 117, and from line 182 to the end is again
my own html footer.Best regards,

I can only pray that this is just a minor error and not a result of my own layout modifications… who knows what the future will bring us ;)
The pinged-by-blogs monitor platform Blo.gs is for sale. Basically, the package contains the domain name blo.gs and weblo.gs, the database full of blog adresses and feed urls, and „all rights to the software“ as long as the new owner keeps in mind that the whole platform is based on open source technology. I don’t wonder what made Jim Winstead jr. change his mind of being a blog provider:
i don’t have a price in mind, so don’t ask. cash-flow wise, the site has cost approximately $3500 to date (mostly for hosting), and has earned less than $750 (mostly from google adsense ads).
Will $4000 suffice the whole effort and price? In the end, he will earn $500 plus all his previous expenses.
Currently, I have encountered some severe errors with the comment template. I’m not sure why but sometimes the comments are being erased. Therefore, I have manipulated the comment template and erased any coding within it and just put a meta refresh to my blog’s start page. In other words, I asked Blogspirit for help… let’s see what they can make out of it – here’s my „help me“ comment to Philippe:
I believe I strumbled across an error concerning the comments template. Before the updates and changes, the template was not in use by the software – I guess never modified the layout to match with the rest of mine. But now the comments template is apparently an essential part and is in use – I noticed this because of the weird looking layout (which is just the rough css template) – however it will only give a „preview your comment“ again and again, and sometimes it will not submit the comment to the blog.
The comments page does not guide the user back to the original post, after previewing twice the post-id value is lost.I erased the whole comments „preview page“ with a simple meta-refresh to my blog’s startpage and erased the „preview“ button, too – it annoyed me that my commentators/visitors were sent to „preview your comment forever“ pages.
I hope you are still able to comment, and if possible, try to comment here for testing… I’m confused!
