Well folks after many weeks of debating and heming and hawing.. (is that right), I finally made the leap to merge my two websites into. Whew.. thats was a lot of work but it will save me a lot of time updating two site all the time. BONUS: the new configuraton of this site does automatic updates, twittering, facebooking and emailing, all I have to is post a story and bam!!!!, there it is on Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn.

The hard part and time consumig part was integrating my e-commerce section into a blogging site.  Many thanks to ECWID cart for writting a back-end progrram to do most of it for me.


Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up



So now I leave it up to you guys to critique it for me, find the bugs, find the errors and let me know so I can debug this bitch. I need to amek serious bucks this year to make up for the shit hole 2009 was. Thank god for paychecks and multiple business’ otherwise I’d be living on the street, this big ole beautiful house cost almost a grand a month to keep at 65*.

XPost Saves The Day

I’ve written several times about WLW (Windows Live Writer) and how great it is at posting to the 8 blogs I contribute to. Let me tell you having to write a story 8 times or even copy and paste 8 times into 8 different web interfaces isn’t fun or productive. WLW made this a piece cake via a plug-in named X-Pollinate, which did an awesome job of  cross-posting to all my selected sites. How ever, of course there’s always a but or how ever, and WLW isn’t shy of one. The however is that X-Pollinate only allows one facebook and twitter account via it’s ping.fm link.

Now this isn’t an issue for most people, but as most of my friends will attest to, I’m not most people, I have 3 Facebook accounts and 5 twitter accounts plus 3 flicker accounts and a linkedin account plus numerous others. Now to be clear they aren’t all actually “mine”, but I’m in charge of maintaining them for different sites. So you see the issue is that while I absolutely love WLW and X-Pollinate together, I still need to go to the website to get my cross posting sent to all my Facebook and Twitter accounts.

I have spent a bit of time looking for a plug-in in for WLW that would work and yet none have been developed yet, so I checked the other way, a Wordpress plug-in option. Badda bing, badda boom there it is…  Xpost, a plug in that allows me to cross-post to all my other sites or selectively other sites. Thus of course now means that I am back to web-publishing for a bit, I still love my WLW functionality though, like:

  • Polaroid pictures
  • on the fly spell checking
  • cut and past ability native in Microsoft Windows
  • custom bullets
  • itunes song list
  • just to name a few of my favs

Oh well, we’ll try this option out for a bit and see how we like it.
