Spam Signups
Spam Signups Yesterday, 152 new users signed up on my website. Pretty impressive for a reboot that’s less than a month old. Only it’s not. You guessed it, spam-bots were having a field day. Now, new users on my blog only get subscriber status, but I’m no fool. There’s always the risk of a massive, […]

An Attitude of Gratitude
How many people have wanted to strangle you? Seriously. This occurred to me as I began mapping out the topics I’m going to cover in this blog. I can joke about some of the situations I’ve survived, but the truth is that I’ve managed to—without trying—really tax the patience of many of my family and […]

The Hyperblogger.com
Yet another blog about blogging? Please, no! But, check it out. This blog has a very specific design philosophy and technical view. If you agree, then you should read on. If not, then do look elsewhere. It’s an entrepreneurial. That is, you should be able to beta-test something and bail or scale rapidly. Blogging should […]

The Hyperactive Club
Welcome to the landing page of TheHyperactiveClub.com, aka ClubHyperactive.com. The goal of this site is to offer support to people who are hyperactive, their friends and family, and to increase understanding of what it’s like to “live in their skin.” It can be challenging to be around hyperactive people, especially kids. But the reality is […]

Welcome to the landing page of the “Or So It Seems” humor and mysteries series. These are funny, family-friendly stories about weird people doing stupid things. Or, maybe stupid people doing weird things. Or, maybe it’s both. Our motto is clipped from the Spy Museum, and its: “Not everything is as it appears.” Boy, is […]

The Origin of Or So It Seems stories
This was the debut column "back in the day." The series has spun off several variations, including "ThinkingFunny.com," and "TheLandOfBadIdeas.com." Now, orsoitseems.com is the home of long-form humor/mysteries.

The Land of Bad Ideas
First, the good news. I just bought The Land Of Bad Ideas.com and will now be using it for this blog.
Now, the bad news.You probably shouldn’t read this blog. It’s full of bad ideas.
Really.
And being the contrarian that I am, I’m going to ignore the fact that these are bad ideas and, well, try them out.
For starters, this is about the seven bazillionth domain name I’ve bought, thinking to start yet another killer blog. But then it’s hard to sustain content for all these blogs. Smart life coaches, people like Nina Amir, will tell you that you should focus on a topic or two (well, three if you must), and then develop a followership (is that even a word? Soundlike a bad idea for a word.)
That’s what smart people do. But, alas, I’m not smart. I have too many interests for my own good. So, here we go again. But I do have a work-around that may help. I’m actually partitioning my one blog into streams of ideas/consciousness/multiple personalities to have a place where different themes can be explored but tagged, categorized, in ways that allow readers to side-step those things they don’t care about and focus on those they do.
This is a bit tricky to do on a blog, but I’m going to try using some tools I’ve found that allow me to differentiate content and even make the different content look different. It’s possible to have multiple themes on the same website courtesy a handy-dandy plugin. We’ll see if this works, and if it does, we’ll see if the plugin works over the long haul. I’ve found that often a plug-in I love croaks when a newer version of WordPress rolls out, and the developers disappear in some sort of rapture-like ascension to a higher level of software awareness and development. That’s the problem with freeware, I think. You can’t expert people do dedicate their lives to maintaining a no-cost product.
Mother Teresa’s descendants don’t do software, unless you count the open-source community.
Anyway, I hope to provide a website that will offer you all a variety of content and me opportunities to explore different topics and themes. We’ll see how this works.
But it may just be one more bad idea.
