Another great reason to start or switch to WordPress!

Trackbacks may very well improve the Search Engine Rankings of WordPress Blogs and other blogging platforms that support trackbacks, too?

In my humble opinion, checking out a free trial of any Blogging Platform is a wise approach to check which one best meets your needs. 10 to 1 if you like the free version than you will love the paid version! Kim, you may want to read the <a href="http://www.sixapart.com/typepad/features" rel="nofollow">Typepad features</a>, too. PS. To H. Mackerel, Sr., I always seem to "flounder" when using a PC! But, I do use Firefox on a PC to check and compare the format of my Blog and Web-site with success. Hi Jos,

I am not in any way trying to sell it to you or anybody, but it's really nice. Not so much the low-price OEM version that I have for 1 of my blogs right now (that is a bit of a stripped version), I am reffering to the full (premium) version. If I ever decide to take my blogs to privately hosted domain, I will probably move all of them to that (paid) version of TypePad.

Hi Jos,

Kim, Jos’ Typepad Marketing Link is http://marketingreview.web-log.nl/

And, is the setup and use of TypePad similar to Blogger?

What will Jos do to replace his Christmas mackerals? PCs have never worked well for me! - spent more time restoring the system after programs crashed and hardly any time using the programs. If Apple did not create a reliable computer, we would have never met! Seems like your Technorati post is the foundation of our secret Book and Movie script! It has been a unforgettable Christmas season so far and we wish you and your family a Happy healthy Holiday Season and fun healthy prosperous New Year! Holy Mackeral, Kim!

I am using an OEM version for one of my Dutch Language <a href="marketingreview.web-log.nl" rel="nofollow">marketing blogs</a>, and this has a great option that creates thumbnails and at the same time stores the large images in the blogs storage space. (it has - of course, of course - some negatives as a blogging system as well, but it might be something you like) Kim, you may want to take a look at the TypePad blogging platform.

I have an IBM and all I use dreamweaver for is when I back up my blogs…
the code goes in there and very occasionally I look at it …study it and put it in the too hard basket hehehe…
well it’s christmas eve here …and I have dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow with “the family”….
so I’ll sign off …
have a lovely Christmas and tell Jos to lay off the mackerals til after Christmas
ps I have tentatively renamed the technorati post …this is what happens when Technorati turns the eye on you ….AKA Blogger Asylum for Technorati rejects…previously called YCMU CO PTY LTD
I really think we can integrate the tech post in with the Rock movie post….that way we’ll have a block buster on our hands…. :) :)
PS if any calls me stark raving crazy ….you know I will blame you two…
it all started when I got that crazy and cool Bloscar…..from you know who ?
no wonder they call this the silly season !!!

Flickr also has the benefit of using your MBL password, too! Wait a minute, the MBL password may not be a benefit? We need to check with <a href="http://nodirecton.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">H. Mackerel, Sr.</a> for a MBL security check on MBL security risks! P.S. never used Dreamweaver and looks like iMac users are experiencing problems with Dreamweaver 8. If you use a Mac or iMac than <a href="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/263" rel="nofollow">GraphicConverter X 6.0.3</a> is a fairly easy image editing program to learn. Also, GraphicConverter X is Shareware, try before you buy which is another nice feature. Thank you, Kim!

For a example, please visit my <a href="http://lighthousestars.com/2007/10/portsmouth-harbor-lighthouse-open-house.html" rel="nofollow">Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse Open House</a> post. To create thumbnails, I use Photoshop which has a menu option named "Image Size." My guess is Dreamweaver has the same option? Load your image file, select the "Image Size" option, enter the new thumbnail size, press the "make" change (or similar text) button, and rename the resized file before saving it (otherwise, you overwrite your original file) to your hard drive. Can't wait to see Jos spoof the role of Rocky Balboa! :) Hi Kim,
