I swear I am a jinx to every site I use! Thoughts just couldn’t get their shit together so I left it and returned to MyOpera. This will be my main blog, once again. I hate to redirect my followers for the millionth time, but I just couldn’t deal with the glitches anymore on Thoughts. MO has its share of glitches at times too, but I don’t remember it ever being as bad or as often as Thoughts. It’s been nearly two weeks now that Thoughts has been running as slow as the dial-up ages. No thanks!

This blog doesn’t have a geo tracker of any kind at the moment. I wish it did, but MO won’t allow for that, so unless they either change their policy or re-partner with another tracking service, I can only guess who’s coming around who’s not registered. It has an internal tracker, but that’s it. If people want to leave any comments but aren’t registered yet still want me to know who they are, they’ll have to write in their name.

This blog has a handy archive and a blog search feature that actually works. Just type in any name or keyword or whatever, and if it’s in my blogs, it should find it. I’m not going to bother with tagging entries for now.

Ask was slightly glitchy when Andy and I signed up a few days ago, but sure enough, it’s got more problems now that we’re there. It functions ok but the background pictures aren’t showing up.

I’ve still got a lot of work to do on my blog. I’ve had it for a couple of years now but have accumulated tons of files that need to be deleted since MO has limited space usage. I was at 11% and now I’m down to 7%. For some reason, MO stores every picture you post in a giant file directory and it remains there even if you delete the posts. Well, I’ve deleted nearly 1000 posts since I first signed up there! Unfortunately, I have to go through and delete them one by one because I can’t seem to wipe out the root directory altogether.;(

It won’t let me change to my new email address either. As I said, this site isn’t perfect, but it’s better than Thoughts.

Ok, back to tweaking settings and seeing if this post will successfully auto-send to Twitter and Facebook, where I’m sharing more with the public now that my stalker has backed off.

Today’s Christiane’s birthday.

Later…

Still can’t figure out who’s been referring to me as “pretty lady” on the Q&A site. There were no pictures of me there before I recently posted a link to one of my photo albums, so that makes me wonder if it’s someone I know. Why would a random person refer to someone they’ve never seen at least a picture of as “pretty lady?”

Anyway, I’m now down to filling up just 4% space on MO as I continue deleting old stuff from the root directory.

A part of me wishes I could go and interview 4 or 5 people in whatever neighborhood we end up in to get their opinion on the area, but then I’d be just as bad as others who make unsolicited house visits.
