Every now and then, I check out other blogs and when I see something I like, I may make it happen on this blog.<\/p>\n
I really like MC’s blog (motorcopblog.com) for its design as well as some interesting and witty posts from a cop’s perspective. His friend, “Happy Medic”, is a whiz with geek-blog-stuff, and has helped MC create some interesting features on his blog. That, in turn, has influenced my blog.<\/p>\n
One feature that MC uses on his blog, Wibiya, which creates a bar on the bottom of his blog that enables connections with other social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, was something that I tried for a couple months. However, I found that it was “blogging the blog” — that is, making it work slower. I also got a complaint from a loyal reader that when he tried to view a post or two of mine, that it caused pop-ups for Facebook and eventually caused his computer to crash.<\/p>\n
Wibiya was not bringing more visitors to my blog, but perhaps was making it more difficult for some visitors to view it, so I took that off.<\/p>\n
Blogging is an ongoing thing, experimenting with features and functions that work — or in some cases, do not work as I had hoped. <\/p>\n
Enjoy the slight redesign that you see — with a new feature, “slideshow.” You’ll see that on MC’s blog, too — and his slideshow includes an image of me with a motor officer friend of mine who serves the county where I live.<\/p>\n
Life is short: happy blogging!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
