blogging
Okay, so it’s been half a year since I posted here, and that was only 2 sentences. The previous post was 6 months before that, and it was a cross-post. So, yeah, I've kind of drifted away from the browser scene a bit.
So where can you find me blogging these days? Mainly, at:
-
Speed Force. This is what I’ve been focusing on the last few months. It’s a comics blog for news and commentary about DC’s character, the Flash. Among other things, I’ve been promoting a book I contributed a few articles to, The Flash Companion (pictured at right).
-
K-Squared Ramblings. I still consider this my “main” blog, and I put stuff that I expect might be interesting to a general audience here. Interesting/funny photos, tech, TV/Movies, books, comics, etc.
-
My LiveJournal, where I post things that I figure only my friends are likely to be interested in. Slice-o-life, memes, those sorts of things.
I also contribute to
Opera Watch from time to time, but I’ve only made a handful of posts there
.

Opera, blogging
Daniel Goldman is
relaunching Opera Watch as a group blog, and I'll be one of the contributors.
Now I just need to think of something to write!

blogging, wordpress, promotion, Opera
A while back I wrote a post on
adding an Opera button to WordPress using your blogroll. It turns out there's much easier way to do it on WordPress.com, using sidebar widgets.
If you are using a widget-capable theme:
- Go to the Presentation tab on your blog's dashboard, then click on Sidebar Widgets.
- Drag a Text widget to the sidebar, then click on Configure.
- Load another tab or window and open the Choose Opera: Banners and Buttons page.
- Copy the code from the banner you want, then paste it into the text widget box.
- Close the widget configuration box, then hit Save changes.
Much easier!

Opera, wordpress, promotion, blogging
Want to put an Opera banner on your site, but don't know HTML? Here's how to add an Opera button to any
WordPress.com or
WordPress-powered blog.
Update: I realized there's a much easier way to do this using sidebar widgets.
- Log into your WordPress account and go to the admin page.
- Go to Blogroll (wordpress.com) or Links (WordPress 2 or earlier)
- Click on Add Link
- Enter "Opera Web Browser" (or something similar) for the Name ("Link Name" in WP2)
- Enter http://www.opera.com/ for the Address ("URI" in WP2)*
- Click on the + in the Advanced bar so that you can see the Image Address field. (Or just scroll down in WP2)
- Open a new tab and open Choose Opera: Banners and Buttons
- Right-click on the banner you want and choose Copy image address
- Go back to your WordPress admin tab and paste that into Image Address ("Image URI" in WP2)
- Click on the Add Link button.
That's it!Note: Depending on your theme, it may show only the text link. I've found that on WordPress.com, the default sidebar will only show the text, but if you go to Presentation / Sidebar Widgets and drag the Links widget onto the sidebar, it will show the button.*Advanced Option: Log into your account on the My Opera Community first. At the top of the Banners and Buttons page, you'll see something like this: Link to us using your affiliate url: http://my.opera.com/YOUR_NAME_HERE/affiliate/
Copy and that URL and use it instead of http://www.opera.com/ in the Address field. This will get you affiliate points, which you can keep track of on your My Opera preferences page...though I'm not sure if the points are actually used for anything.

blogging
It seems like everything I sign up for these days has a blog attached to it. Slashdot has a journal feature that I've never used. My self-hosted blog,
K-Squared Ramblings, is approaching its third anniversary. I signed up with LiveJournal just to read friends' journals and ended up with a blog there. Spread Firefox gave me a blog. My Opera gave me a blog. I signed up for info about Wordpress.com (reserving a username just in case), and it turns out to be -- you guessed it -- a hosting service for blogs!
The way things are going, I seriously expect Amazon.com to offer me a blog the next time I order a book.
