strange changes

This morning when I opened my site, I had popups (which I blocked -I use the Google taskbar), and two phrases in my last post have links that do not appear in my edit window when I checked. Has anyone else seen this behavior on their sites? I will check with the users forum. This is very strange!

I changed the phrases to remove the links. I still got a popup, which I blocked, though. More on this strangeness later.

addendum: I notice this same "top text link" on Snowball's site. I will see where else it is. Ugh. Typepad needs to take care of this unwanted link-spam.

new linkage

Matthias comments on Real Live Preacher's site, but I had never linked to him before. I think I will now, at least for a bit, after reading this account of a man and a rabbit.

Finally!

The TypePad Index

I've been wishing someone would do this! There is a search function, too.

sketches

I scanned some sketches from one of my old sketchbooks today. It's over there on the left in the photo album section.

Here's a closer link: Sketches

ACK!

I am waiting on your sites to load *again* today!

[sigh]

comment spam again

For any of you who have had comment spam recently, Brenna at TypePad has recommended just banning the ips for now. You do this under the control panel. We are following progress in the TypePad Users Group, but no one has a less tedious way of fixing this yet.

Good luck, and if any of you find a way to block these spammers nicely (neatly, not politely), give me a shout. Thanks :)

oh happy day!

First, I was just reminded Monday is a holiday in the trading sector, so I may have a day off, woo hoo!

Secondly, with the help of the Type Pad Users Group (I cannot recommend this enough) and an angel named bogie, my comments don't bleed into the margins anymore. Hooray! Leave me a comment and see. :)

updates

Lunchtime, and I am attempting to create a static area with "today in history" info much like Doc's quotes. I am still having a time of it, but I will get it working soon. Sooner if I didn't have much work to do that actually pays me. :) I also added a link to syndicate this site for all you who like to have your daily reads all in one place. It is down on the right, under the "add my to your blogroll" link.

you like me, you really, really like me...

Yours truly has been nominated at Wizbang for Best Female Authored Blog! *blush* I have friends in high places, thanks Captain! I have no idea how they determine a winner, but we will see how it all turns out. If I find a way to vote, I'll let you know (if you would like to know). The rest of the blogs listed are great reads, I am going to spend some happy time perusing their sites.

addendum: Okay, if I would pay attention I would see that Wizbang will be setting up polls on the link above sometime soon, probably after nominations are closed.

post-addendum: I didn't make the cut for the nominee list, but other good people did. I encourage you to vote for Witt and Wisdom for best humor weblog. I have to make sure I am not drinking anything when I read his stuff. Seriously.
