The home page and original site for the Famous Grazing Blogs

There are more than a dozen Famous Grazing Blogs residing on the cybersphere. Some are dormant and some very active. They all link back here to the Granddaddy of our blogs, founding in May of 2004.

Product referal companies

I've bouncing around the various sites and links related to blogs. I found a company called AiYo
They provided the link to The Da'Vinci Code listed at the bottom of this blog. They claim I will be paid 15% of the sale price if someone buys it by clicking on that link, or the link in the word Da'Vinci in this entry. Of course, they don't pay you until you've reached $10.00 in referral fees. To get that, you have to sell a lot of Da'Vinci Code books.
Then there's the box they want you to put into your template, to sit there permanently, not to be archived at the end of the month, as this entry will be.
I would show you what it looks like, but blogger.com will not let me publish Java Script in a posting.

The Titles Are Back!!!

I was going to give it up for the night, but made the mistake/correct decision, to go to the forum on the bloggar website. There I found Gustavo's entry regarding titles:

Go to the File menu, select account properties (or something like that, I don't have the English version).
On account type, select 'Blogger (with title)' instead of 'Blogger (no title)'.
Close the program and run again. That's it.


And it seems to have worked, hats off to Gustavo!=30=
That will probably be it for the night.
I have discovered the template editor and added a copyright message at the end of the template. Perhaps tomorrow, I can add a graphic to the template. I have to read more about blog creation.

I didn't see any place for titles.

Okay, that was too easy. The only thing it didn't do was carry over the font or the table into which I inserted the font. No big deal. It's not for features like that I downloaded w.bloggar.
Now let's see how it does with uploading images. If this works, I'll never have to log on to blogger.com again

This is being posted with w.bloggar, but I am not sure to which of the blogger.com blogs it will post. I am flying this thing blind, but, if it works as promised, you will see many, many more entries to this blog. I might even read the instructions.

Weblog.com Oh My Go!

I have just pulled myself out of Weblogs.com!
Unless you have a LOT of time on your hands, like your entire summer vacation, stay out of that place.
I was sucked into the The Homeless Guy in NYC and from there to the homeless guy in Nashville, who it seems was the first "Homeless Guy" on the web. Now it's a franchise.
I think it's great. If these guys can use their experiences to create a money generating blog, more power to them.

A Posting From The Field

One of Blogger.com's more sophisticated features is it's ability to post messages to the blog from the field.

Here I am sitting on a park-bench, overlooking this fine New England landscape, birds singing, mousquitoes biting, bees buzzing, cars roaring, Duck Tours passing making silly quacking sounds, and all I have to do is send this from this park bench and zap! it's a comment.

It wonderful to find a new toy on the Internet!

Nope, that's perfect.

I was concerned about the display of the white field for the remarks. I thought it was going to be a small border frame with the explanatory frame taking up most of the page. I was wrong. Once a message was posted, it worked out fine.

And now for a self portrait:

for those of you with UPC readers, this is allegedly, (according to a 602 Software's doc writer,) my name in UPC.

I am not sure


In case you were wondering from whence these thoughts originated; thought I'd fly the flag of the commonwealth.
