Surfin With Stan - Main Site

-
This site was created on July 19th as an experiment involving Google Apps, Blogger, Office Live, and Joomla. Here's what I know so far.

1. When I experimented with Google Apps before (several years ago)... nobody knew what I was talking about ... as far as clients go. They didn't know if they should or could login to share their apps online. I know now that I should have dropped the clients rather than the technology. If you don't want to progress...then stay behind.
2. When I experimented with Microsoft Office Live ... with an account that I PAID $39.95 a month for over 3 years... they eventually lost all my stuff. They did an upgrade...that my domain didn't make it thru...and all my email and files were lost.

That's it in a nutshell on the experiences.
The things that I want to be able to do with this site are:

* Use my real domain rather than the sites.google.com one
* Get dependable email services
* Share files, calendars and other information with friends, family and clients.
* Upload updates (such as blogs) easily
* Create categories for various projects
* Create an easily understood Project Manager that can be shared with others
Help other people create their own site

Video Not Available In Your Country Fix

So you just made friends with somebody cool like Paul Bond  . Even though he works for Brix , which is "only" the  4th largest workwear store in Monaghan , he's still got great taste in 'artsy fartsy' stuff. Unfortunately, he's not that bright   aware, when he sends out links sometimes.  Consequently, he sends out links to really cool stuff that YouTube says  'aren't available in your country'. Well, that's simply not true. It is available, and I have no idea why they even want to make you think it isn't. Connectivity is what all this stuff is about.  Or at least that's what I thought when I signed on almost 30 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's not the band that doesn't want you to hear their music, unless of course they are Lars Ulrich .  So what do you do? How to get around this? Read on...

Change The Format Of Blogger's Popular Post Widget

     If you're reading this, you're probably not a 'code warrior'.  You're probably like me.  You can't just sit down and pound out page after page of ampersands, brackets and ampersands. You're more of a tweaker.      That doesn't mean you can't usually get the results you want from a template.  It just means that sometimes you have to search for helpful websites to give you some guidance. Something sort of 'specific' in context, but 'general' in terms of offering the solution. That's what this is.  It's a way to change the way your 'Most Popular Post" module in Google's Blogger application appears on your page.  Currently the widget's choices of formatting are limited to the title, how popular in what number of days, whether you show an image and a snippet of information about the posts, number of posts, and how many of the posts you want to display.  That may not be enough selection for you.  You might w...
