Here it is past noon, and I'm still in the house, on the puter, fiddling about with blog programs, and modifying HTML coding. In my travels, I found the archives to the very first version of WhenWordsCollide, and thought I'd post the links here on the new version. (Sort of neat, sometime I shall have to "combine" all these misconnected blog entries into a "master blog" or "universal blog" but I already have a blog called "The Universal Blog".
Here is the first page of the original WhenWordsCollide site on Blogger.
Here is the second page of the original WhenWordsCollide. These posts are from March of 2003.
Here was the "current" page when I took the link off my server and started the "Allthingsmike" blog on blogger which became this Xanga site on Memorial Day 2004.
I read four or five Xanga blog entries from some of my "subscribers" (I really like saying that.) and some people who I got their Xanga addresses from other comments sections on other Xanga sites. The interaction feature is what "brought me here", that and Ladyblue's blog, and her encouragement. I left some "comments" and "eprops". (My comments can be novella size, so it takes me some time to go "visiting". I did some "tweaks" to the coding on my own Xanga site, and figured out that the reason I can't "rotate the profile pics" is because Xanga is changing that feature to make it "easier". It certainly wasn't "easy" to try to understand what they were asking me to do.
I'd like to thank the people who have been leaving me "comments" on this site. It makes it a lot easier to stay "addicted to the computer". I'll have to start "subscribing" to some of the Xanga blogs I'm reading regularly now. The way Xanga makes it easy to "find" members who have left comments, subscribed, etc. is one of the neatest features of this community. In the effort to obtain "more readers" as if I'm not satisfied right now, I signed up with the "premium spotlight" in order to gain more readership. I'm jealous
when I see these blogs with 82 comments appearing on some of them. My poor website has been sitting "idle" in cyberspace for almost six years now, and never got the readership I wanted, although I have made many lasting webfriendships. I really feel that this Xanga experience is opening up another door.
I really enjoy reading the comments, and making comments on other sites. This rather "feels" like a community the more I am involved with it. Oh well, rambling as usual. What is happening to the day? That it's fleeting hours pass unnoticed as I sit here, typing, typing, typing. I started a short story today, "The Hole In The Wall" which I will post as soon as I (If I ever do) finish it. The idea of this story has been in my head for quite a while, and I hope I can do the idea justice in the Notepad program.
Well, that's it for this "post". Those old "When Words Collide" posts have some fairly humorous moments. I also added some HTML to the "interests" section, so that there are links to my websites mentioned there as well. I didn't know I could do that with the coding in those sections of the site. Learning little by little what can be "tweaked" on this infrastructure. I want to add music, but can't figure out what to add that won't take away from any words I want people to be reading with concentration. And I don't want to add any "new wavy" Enya tunes which show up on so many websites. I loved the Celtic Reels and jigs I tried out, but they were way too intrusive and "upbeat" causing one to lose one's way among the words, which are the most important part (along with the images) on WhenWordsCollide.
Since this is a "catchall post" with no real "subject" nor "theme", I will post a link or two to some of my poetry "readings" I recorded for my ElectricPoetry group. I was inspired by Snow's awhisperofme's "readings" on her Xanga site to post these here before space problems make me take them off my server. These are from 1973 (20 years old)
