Blog PMS
I spent my coming down from a high weekend mostly vegetating on the couch and tweaking the blog, blogdoctah-ing for others, downloading new plugins, fucking around with avatars, comment preview, and downloading updates for my laptop virusscan (holy fucking shit, those programs are thé devil: I had to install that 3 times before it would actually work!)…
So if you have paid attention to this blog’s comment section you will have noticed that I have finally gotten ’round to publishing y’all avatars with the comments. But holy cow! There’s a lot of y’all that actually have no
avatar, is there? As you have noticed that means that you are now a person with a bag over their head, avatar-wise. If you would like a personal avatar to appear with your comments on ány blog, go to www.gravatar.com and download your personal avatar. It dead-easy, I promise you, to register one over there and it links to the email address you use in comment forms (so be sure to register that particular email address) and it will make my comments section look so much more colorful! It will be like you are all visiting me in person… well, sorta anyway…
Also got around to dowloading Live Comment Preview, so you can see what your comment is gunna look like after you click the “Publish” button. I thought that was a nice feature too. I know many of you already had that, but this was one of the things that I still hadn’t gotten ’round to.
And I got assistance from The Guy last week in downloading WP-User Online and IP@nation plugins so I can
now see your ass when you are reading or lurking around on my blog! Yep! You bettah believe it! Big DutchBitch is Watching You! Heh!
All the plugins that I use are now neatly put together in the PlugIn’s page (see tab “Plugins“). Check it
out if you like and holler if you need assistance in putting any of them on your own blog. Most of you are total blog wizards, already have all the plugins and more nor need my humble assistance, I know, but if you do, no need to hesitate!
Tried to get more hang of my cpanel at the hosting service and I think I got a tad more understanding of it again than I used to have. So I am ready to host other blogs on there now, I think.
Got some fun banner work done for a few bloggy friends, like this one. I 
tweaking banners and themes. I couldn’t code a theme or template design from scratch, though, if my life depended on it. Hail to the people like Tattooed Momma who can do that shit.
Reloaded my Boost application for Facebook. That one is fun! You can customize your Facebook page (unfortunately only for you to see) and can receive pop up messages of anything action of your friends -customizable in the settings, thru the Boost toolbar- like when people are changing their status message, friend requests, and whatever else. Me likey! I had downloaded it before and then deactivated it, but I decided to reactivate it again.
Shame Boost doesn’t set off a “you are about to be ticketed in Parking Wars-alarm“. Still, while you were sleeping (hurray for time zones!) I did earn 2 new badges on there. Hell Yeah, I managed 100 consecutive cash ins without getting a ticket ánd parked 5 cars illegally on Ginormous Boobs street without her even noticing, earning me the “outlaw” badge. And I am pretty sure she didn’t feel any of it… seriously! I managed to get in and out without even brushing those Ginormous Boobs (and I can tell ya: it’s not easy maneuvering 5 cars past such boobs, ya know!)
So I guess you could say I pretty much had a Tech / Facebook weekend… I think I am pretty much up to date with my tech shit for now… Until I obviously get itchy again and need to change things around and add stuff and ya know… It’s like Blog PMS… I guess…
23 Dutch Treats so far
Blimey! I don’t have a clue about half of these techy bloggy things you’re talking about. I’m so out-of-the-loop!
I do love that my captcha was “WTF”

How industrious of you. Amazing what repurposed horniness can do for you…
Finns last blog post..But Will It Keep Me Warm On A Cold Winter’s Night?
My my my…… what a busy bee! I have no blogger expertise what so ever, so if it doesn’t load in the first time I try it, I figure I just don’t need it.
blondefabulouss last blog post..What’s The Name Of The Game? I WIN!!!!!!
Wow, your kicking in the ass worked Dutchy - not a paper bag in the comments yet. GO YOU!!
Tugs last blog post..Happy Friday!
I like having the gravatars on my comments. I think mine is deactivated on my current theme….maybe. I need to go look.

Thanks! It’s always fun to learn something new — even on a Friday
Merrys last blog post..Advice for Grumpy Office Workers
The gravatar thing is way too confusing. I have set an alarm to go off when it’s time to plant the tulips.
martys last blog post..Cirque du Work
Merry: Hey, isn’t that what Friday’s are for?
Marty: Oh please… even you can do it!
I never realized how stunningly gorgeous you are, until I just saw your pics on the sidebar. You’ve got to keep the hair back & flaunt that beeyoootiful face dahling!
ps…I’ve got a bag over my face, but the truth is, I’m a double bagger, so can you please put another one on my head, in case the 1st falls off.
tyvm
janes last blog post..We got a house!!
Jane: Stunning? Me… Oh please…
Double bagger it is, lol
I second what Jane said! I was thinking the same thing when I saw your pics. Gorgeous!
(I just parked on your street in parking wars, btw….I thought for sure I was going to find you parked on mine since I haven’t played in ages, lol)
BlondeBloggers last blog post..Best Day Evah!!!
cpanel is easy! I started out without it, having to manually edit a text based .conf file with cryptic directives. Sometimes I still remember the old way and can’t figure out how to do things in cpanel. I’m old skool.
But I have no freakin’ idea about the facebook stuff, never even been to that site. Have no desire to.
Nobody™s last blog post..Busy weekend ahead
BlondeBlogger: Oh please
(and get off my street!!! lol)
Nobody: Well, nobody is forcing you to do Facebook. Whatever floats your boat, Hon…
