Mi Vida Ocupada: My Busy Life!

Facebook Add-On for Firefox

If you use Firefox and you use Facebook, there is a new add-on that you can download
to make the photos bigger, etc.  It allows you to "customize your Facebook experience with 300+ facebook skins, 30+ special features, selectable options, custom album viewers, video downloader and more!"
Its called Boost for Facebook 9.3.2

PS Does anyone out there still use IE??!!! Time to upgrade to Firefox.... what're you waiting for!?

E-mail Subscriptions

A few days ago I mentioned that you could start getting posts to this blog by e-mail simply by subscribing in the box in the right sidebar.  For some reason it did not work before but I have fixed it.  You must re-enter your e-mail address but it should work this time!

New Subscription Tools!

If you would like to be updated regularly when I post new entries to this blog, I have added two new tools to make it easier.  Direct your attention to the right sidebar >>>>>

• The first tool is the  "subscribe in reader" button.  When you click this, it allows you to add the feed to whichever feed reader you prefer (I use Google Reader). 
• The second tool is the e-mail subscription box.  If you would like new posts from this blog to be sent to your e-mail, just enter your e-mail address in the box, and then click the confirmation link that will immediately be sent to your inbox.  Once you do this, new posts will be sent directly to your e-mail.

I am using Feedburner for these services.  If you're a blogger, you might want to check it out.  It will automatically update and transfer any current feeds you have for your blog so that your readers will continue to receive updates without interruption ( I wasn't sure what would happen when I transferred my feed to Feedreader, hence the "test" of the last post.  It worked perfectly and I have already received the e-mail with my latest post).  The service makes it much more convenient for your readers to receive your latest posts and also allows you to keep track of how many subscribers you have.  This is a great thing for those of you who have photography or other business blogs!

Facebook Blog Network

For anyone who is on Facebook, they have added a feature for blog networks.  If you're reading me here, why not join my network??!!  Click on the widget in the right sidebar.......
Do me a favor and do the same for Twin Cities Restaurant Blog!

Instant Messaging/ Video Chat......

After four wonderful months of being a Mac owner, I have finally gotten with it and tried iChat!!  I was able to import my neglected AIM and also my Google account so I will be using those much more frequently.  My screen name is ksweetsauer, leave me yours in the comments!
My brother Jeff also just jumped on the Mac bandwagon (Macs are the best, you know!!!) so we figured out how to do the video chat.  Super cool!!!!  Please let me know if you have video chat capabilities so we can chat that way sometime!

Hoping to chat soon ;)

Password time

I am going to be putting password protection up on my blog after today, so shoot me an e-mail if you want it. You will need the password after today if you want access to this site. 

Sorry to force any lurkers out, but I have decided I need to be more private and I would really like to know who is out there reading besides the 20 regular commentors I have.

Thanks.

Categorizing Old Posts...

After blogging for 2 1/2 years and publishing 600+ posts, I thought it was about time that I start putting old posts into categories.  If you look to the left sidebar you will see a list of categories, which is helpful for finding and navigating through old posts.

I am making my way through the process of categorizing posts slowly, but surely.  It is kind of fun looking back at some of my old posts!

I hope this new feature is one you will enjoy and use :)
