Description: I needed to import some of my contacts into Google Voice. Mainly because I wanted to have them there and see what I could do with them

Project Goals : Import into Google Voice all my contacts from WR Supply and current customers.

Steps

  1. Copy the list of customers from the GeorgiaWebs.org customer list… or see if you can find them on this machine
  2. Go thru the current contact list… mark the ones you want to export…and export them to csv
  3. Export Family into CSV
  4. Export Friends into CSV
  5. Login to Google Voice
  6. Import the GeorgiaWebs List
  7. Import Outlook File
  8. Import Family
  9. Import Friends
  10. Enjoy

Issues

  1. Ok.. This wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. … but I did decide to import my the whole Outlook DB and sort it out later. There were just too many contacts to go thru at one time. Very simple…
    1. Go to contacts
    2. File export… export as file…export as windows file.
    3. Login to Google Voice… go to contacts.. .click import… browse to the file and import
    4. Fix what you can find
  2. Staying focused… After I created the Google Voice Profile… I decided I would publish it and make it public. You can view it at http://www.google.com/profiles/stanbush . While it may take only a few minutes to setup the profile when you're just 'trying to get through it'… if you're going to try and get any benefit from the time you spend on it, then it would be a good idea to spend the time necessary to get all the information that you want to be public into the profile. I spent over 45 minutes on my profile, and still didn't finish. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing yet, but I did list about half of the sites that I work on, thinking it probably won't hurt in the search engines. The reason that it's so hard to stay focused is because before I could make my profile public, and therefore 'findable' in the Google indexes I had to 'verify my name'. Once I did this it took me to Knol.com and a bunch of other places that I really didn't want to spend any time with…but once I got there I found them interesting.
  3. Steve Burge had a KNOL.com article. I didn't comment on his article, but it looked like standard fare SEO tips for beginners. Good article Steve… just in case you ever find this post.

    This is the second day of my Google Voice Activity… and I'm just basically rambling about my experiences with it, and then posting it to my blog. If you have any questions about it… just comment below this article and I'll be sure to answer it as soon as I can.

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

Keyboard Failed (and so did you)

Everything around you says you aren't performing. It's all digital. It's all data driven. It's all the time.   Relentless reminders of how much you should be doing, seeing, or tasting. You're the only person that's never been to Disneyland, used a smart phone, and are overweight. Here's the reality . It's just data. It has very little to do with you as an individual. It's usually based on averages in a database some propeller head thought up.  Here's a newsflash . The data dobbers are just as goofy as the rest of us. Want proof?

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...
