Wed/Thur open thread

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on August 16, 2006 at 4:32 pm

Blogging has been light lately because I’ve been home not feeling my best. I’m going to try and catch up on some blogging later this evening.

The Blogads that normally run on the top left column – are ya’ll seeing those? They are not showing up for me. The only thing I am seeing is the “advertise with ST” link. This happened over the weekend for a brief time too. I emailed Blogads and they are saying that everything is showing up just fine. I’ve cleared my cache, refreshed, restarted, etc and they aren’t showing up. Is everyone else able to see them ok? I’m viewing the blog through IE7. If you are unable to see them, please post what browser you are viewing through as well.

Update: Thanks for the feedback – I’m able to see the ads now, too, via my laptop as well as desktop using IE7. However, a reader emailed me and he is not able to view them through FireFox. I’ve had that problem before when I view the site through FireFox, but refreshing usually makes the ads come up in FireFox.

    I’m using IE7 as well, and I can see the ads.

    I can see! I can SEE! I don’t know why, but I CAN SEE! (In my best Eddie Murphy)

    I can see them.

    On other news, relating to the abducted/kidnapped journalists:

    “Certainly we are concerned about their safety, that is why we are working to ensure their freedom,” said Micaela Schweitzer-Bluhm, a spokeswoman for the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem.

    She said it was still unclear who was holding the journalists.

    Anyone seen Mary Mapes lately?:-?>:)

    ST,

    I don’t read you more than perhaps once per week — time factor. When you said ads at the top of the page, do you have more ads than in the left column of a three column page? I see those OK today. I’m using Safari and OS 10.4.

    David, a friend of mine has a rather eclectic blog (”TWC”) at

    http://www.thirdworldcounty.us/

    Yesterday he had a trackback from “Diane’s Stuff” in which Diane told about infighting between “Go Daddy” and “Road Runner” which had caused her similar problems.

    I wonder if your ISP and your blog host are doing something similar. You may want to see what they say. David is something of a -puter guru who highly promotes Opera and can’t stand “Internet Exploder.” He sometimes checks your blog, but I don’t know how often.

    They just said on Fox that Jennifer Griffin is in there looking and the Palastenian head guy is demanding their release, let just pray they are found alive and well.

    I can see them. I’m using IE under the Avant Browser. version 7, I think. Opera is fine but it renders the HTML exactly as written. It doesn’t fix things like IE, Firfox, etc. do.

    And I do like Opera! Try it!

    I don’t know much about all this blog-ad stuff, but just off the top of my head, I’d have to say it’s probably Bush’s fault. Isn’t everything?
