I've started putting up a site on my old Yahoo/ Geocities space. I'm starting to wonder if it's worth bothering with a domain. There are so many hurdles, one being the cost. Plus the domain/ host my sister recommended just bounced the email I sent to ask about an account with them. If they can't even keep their own site working how can I expect them to be reliable with my site?

Anyway, I'll give you the URL when there is something to look at. Might not be tonight cause I'm getting tired and have just gotten a start at it.

Hi Kareem, I did the newbie thing and replied back to the auto notification email sent through Live Journal. So, you'll never know what devious little things I said. It was all really fabulously clever too. Not that I can remember any more, but I know it was really good. :)

I'm downloading that HTML program for Live Journal tonight. Thanks for the link. I looked at the downloads the other night but decided there were too many to choose from. Besides I only wanted something to do one simple little thing. Anyway, it's really hot and humid here tonight. It's starting to cause fogginess in my brain. I know it's not that I'm tired. I got tired of being tired and I rebelled against the whole tired idea. Now, I'm just... sort of laid back. Yeah, that's it... laid back. Never tired.

I'm really curious about that devious and fabulously clever reply, but I guess I'll have to use my imagination and fantasize about what was in it...

Your "rebelling against fatigue" idea sounds VERY familiar: sometimes I'm so tired I can't sleep anymore, but it makes me feel mellow. (When this happens, it usually means I've already used up my "second wind".)

Here is what I'm working with, so far. http://www.hercorner.com/index2.shtml There are a few things missing. You can see the before and after by looking at the old page which is up at http://www.hercorner.com/

The new template will make navigation and the overall look of the site so much better. But, things are slow at HerPlanet now. The owner of the network is having a baby and it's a bit of a risky pregancy. So everything has slowed down. It's a shame cause websites really need to keep building momentum if they are to grow and survive. I really think HerPlanet could be one of the best community/ networks out there but it's tough to get all the wheels spinning fast enough and well enough at the same time

Anyway, that's what I've been doing tonight. I also wrote the latest WordCraft newsletter at BackWash. I wish we could write several of them ahead. At times I just feel in the right mood to blab away forever. Other times I have to kick start myself. Of course, it depends on the topic too.

I thought I would write about writing erotica for the Adult BackWash column I write. That will be a challenge. I don't consider myself an expert at all. But, I'm not completely inexperienced. So, that will have to do. Plus, I'll read what is out there by those who are also experienced. Experienced writing erotica... get your mind out of the gutter!

I wish Live Journal was more like a blog. It's so nice to have HTML formatting for your links. I guess here you have to manually type in all your HTML. I'm not quite that geek orientated. I'll just type in the URL instead. After all, this is supposed to be fun, relaxing and goofing off time. I get paid when I work.

For what it's worth, I like the new look of HerCorner: it's very clear and nicely sober. Also, I think you're doing fine with your adult columns, I always enjoy them (and NO, I didn't have my mind in the gutter, not THIS time, anyway).

You can have HTML-formatting and such on LiveJournal. Just download one of the clients on the download page. Myself, for my entries, I use Semagic, from the Windows downloads.

Zen has tried most of the clients, so he might be able to give you more extensive info.

I've been missing my blog, being able to post all my raggedy thoughts and links. So here I am.

Now, of course, I have nothing to post really. But, as an introduction...

I'm a freelance writer. I write columns for BackWash, online. If you're dying of curiousity, or just addicted to URLs (I am) you can visit BackWash here: http://www.backwash.com/

I have a site for writers: http://www.hercorner.com/

That's a start. If you know me you can list yourself as a Friend. If that's how it works here. I'm still fumbling and wandering around.

Of course I added you as a friend! You are a friend, after all...

I've updated my AdAware. LavaSoft's freeware spy catcher software. It works great. Much better than the old version I've had for ages. It just occurred to me to check for an update. The new version got rid of a lot of stuff, mostly left from Alexa, that the old version of AdAware didn't catch.

PS- Snood is working fine now but it did automatically install that damn Bonzi Buddy on my computer. No screen to ask if it was ok first. I just opened my menu and there it was. It was all over the computer too. Very invasive. Very poor of the Snood people to do that. Makes me angry really. They want you to pay for their game but they stick you with invasive software that takes another program to get rid of it. At least I hope it's all gone. How can you really be sure? I haven't yet done a registry search but AdAware seemed to be pretty thorough in it's own search of the registry so I'm leaving it for now.

Anyway, BOOO to Snood. I wouldn't pay for it after this. I do like the game but I don't want to support a company that supports Bonzi Buddy. Makes you wonder about the Snood program itself.
