Well, not really... I found a bunch of old "banners" from the blog - and I thought "hey! that could make for useless blog filler when there is nothing to write about!"
(this may have been the first)

In other news, I think I may have finally figured out why some of my images (posted here on the blog) look like DOG SPIT... I thought it was my new laptop/editing, but I believe Picasa - which I use to upload blog-only photos - was applying some sort of "auto enhance" to the images... TURRIBLE I say! TURRIBLE!
So I think I've turned it off... Hopefully it looks better now (and hopefully I get back to editing/working on my website again in the future... It's soo neglected) :(

In my last bit of news, I thought (a few months ago) that I was going to dive into social media... Since that time, I've confirmed that I'm not much of a "social media" person! BUT - I think I'll be posting a lot of (short) weather notes on my olde Facebook page... Specifically related to Great Lakes birding and migration!
Check out the page here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008814760809
I THINK (I think...) I've made the weather posts "public" - so even if you aren't on Facebook - you can see them... Let me know otherwise... Stupid Facebook...
FYI, I think your posts to The Facebook are only "public" in that I don't have to be your "friend" or "like" you to see them, but I do need to be logged in to The Facebook to see them. I'm not on it myself, but I'm forced to be an admin on a work account and can only see your posts once I've logged in to that. So those who aren't on The Facebook (i.e., me and the other guy) are out of luck.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Jacob - Facebook posts stop now! (Stupid facebook)... Or at least until I can figure out how to make them properly public... I kinda thought it may be suited to rapid bird-weather posts, but maybe not...
DeleteYou can make your page completely public to non-Facebook users though, I believe it's to do with the security settings. My business page is visible to anyone, even non-users of FB. Not sure if you can change a page once set up, you likely can.

Agreed FB is a pain in the ### Useful for some things though.
while we're on nostalgia, what was the link to the moving wind map that covers all the US?
ReplyDeleteThis one? http://hint.fm/wind/
DeleteThis one's better:

I like both, but that one definitely has more gadgets and fun things to use!
