Pussy Willow is in the House!!!

Woo!! Hoo!! Admin got me all squared away and Pussy Willow is now a card-carrying member of Blogger Party!!

There are a couple of things on Blogger Party that I’ll have to get used to. For one thing, the splog! Jeez-Louise! Every splogger in the blog-world must come to Blogger Party. Since they no longer have a moderation system I guess we’ll just have to get used to it. Oh well, at least they do have the tube that lists your Buddies’ recent posts, so you don’t have to scroll through all the splog to find your Buddies’ stuff.

Another strange thing, which I have seen mentioned here in the past, is the weird thing that happens with the tags. On my last post for Wasted Time I put "BlogFeast" and "blogs" in the tags. But when the post was published the tags showed as “beginning, creation, God, Christianity, religions, etc., etc.” WTF? Now, how did "BlogFeast" and "blogs" turn into a string of religious tags? Totally weird.

But the one thing I will not have to get used to, thank all the spirits, is the absence of all my blog-friends from BlogFeast. My gosh, we have got almost the entire crew here – Sassys, TXKJUN, Manodogs, Sire, Suejeff, PurpleCrayonBrain, Jellenetta, Catfish, Alliegator, now known as Allie, Inquest of a Woman and Richard James, known as Lionheart here on Blogger Party.

I hope our other BlogFeast members, Ammorton, Doyoulikeme, 2catDave, Huttriver2, and many others will find us here and join us. I will miss them terribly if they don’t manage to find us here, or if they do not decide to join us on Blogger Party.

Now understand, I have not given up on BlogFeast. BF’s Admin said last week that the problems with the site were caused by the new server and that he might have to look into moving servers again. If that is the case, we might expect to have to wait a week or longer to get the site back up and running. I’m willing to wait and if the site comes back up I will most definitely go back. BF’s Admin is the best admin on the Internet and I wouldn’t leave him for the world. But, while I will remain loyal to BF, I still must have my blog-fix. Blogger Party seems a very good place to get that fix and, if the unthinkable happens and we lose BlogFeast forever, then we will have Blogger Party to soothe our wounded spirits.

Let the games begin!!!!

LOL, Jellenetta!

I had some issues getting the Pussy Willow blog opened, some kind of glitch in the system that Catfish and Inquest of a Woman are still dealing with. That's why I blew my cover as Wasted Time. But the Admin here was pretty quick in helping me. Hope they help Catfish and Inquest as quickly.

I'm starting to feel like a refugee

The mysterious world of disappearing BlogFeast...will we ever go home? Or shouldn't we just add this blog to our list and should blogfeast reappear we can have fun jumping around. The more the merrier I say.
Purple Crayon Brain Lives On

PW Ya made it!!!

Sassys
Let the games begin? Yay! It is pretty great to know that we now have two cool places to call home. But I am with you when you say Admin on BF is very capable...and the splog is virtually a thing of the past over there. Maybe we can get the admin here to recognize the value of keeping a great bunch of bloggers versus a creepy bunch of sploggers...hmmmm!

Pussy Willow's picture

Hello, Sassy-girl!!

How's your sister?

Yeah, I finally got my PW blog going. The Admin here was pretty quick with the help. It would certainly be nice if this Admin were to help rid us of the splog. But, I'm just tired of worrying with all that for a while. If they leave me along (the sploggers), I'll leave them alone.

Hello you:)

Sassys
Did you not read the blog that our old nemises wrote here? LOL He claims we all ganged up on him! I seriously believe our Mr. Temple is just a kid...and if not then he is not the most literate person out there...which would explain quite a bit! Alas I think the best bet is to just ignore the crap and hope that google doesn't down this site!

Pussy Willow's picture

Nope, I missed that one. Of course, we are just a gang of

blog thugs, so it's probably all true. LOL!!!

Pussy Willow's picture

But we don't have to live like a refugee! La-la-la-la-la.

We can just have 2 blog homes!!! So happy to see you here, PurpleCrayoneBrain. I'll add a link to your blog in the post. Yay!!!!

Is she singing? Bob help us all!

Sassys
I would so much rather see you dance, dance, dance...like the dancing fool I am! Come join me in my frivolity. I will take your lalala and add a tra as needed.

Pussy Willow's picture

You should hear me sing in the shower!

I'm a regular little canary. I dance in the living room - especially when I hear the theme song to Boston Legal.

Boston Legal? And you don't like

Sassys
The Big Lebowski??? Egads woman! Star Trek and Boston Legal...we needs have a chat you and I!!!

Pussy Willow's picture

Hey, man! Just don't be dissin' the Shatner.

Let's make a deal. I'll be nice about the Lebowski if you'll be nice about the Shatner. But hey! What's not to like about Boston Legal? That's a fantastic show! Besides, it's not just Shatner, it's James Spader, too. He's still a sexy piece of work, even with a few extra pounds. Woof!!

Uuuum I will stop the dissin but it's so

Sassys
much fun and hell you make it easy! The first part of his name says it all:)

Pussy Willow's picture

Ach, whatcha gonna do....

Have at it Sassy-girl. The Shatner can take it - so can I. LOL! And the Lebowski can probably take my ribbing, as long as he's got a fresh doobie to ease the pain! (hee-hee-hee)

PW glad you got it all worked out

Your movie left today. Hopefully this one works. Let me know.

Hello Txkjun

Sassys
How is Bubba? I have been meaning to ask you that for awhile now. I think I will put a new post up here about your movie as well, it is that good:)

TXKJUN's picture

Hey sassys Bubba is good

We all played hooky today and spent the day building computers. I was falling behind in my other business and he stayed home and helped me catch up. Cory is still here and he helped to. We built and loaded programs on 4 computers.

Be sure and give Bubba and Cory

Sassys
A hug from me Txkjun! Maybe you guys could offer your computer abilities to Admin on BF??? That would be very cool!

Catfish's picture

Those guys just need some sense,...

or some cents. I'm thinking that these blogging sites may not generate the type of income the owners were hoping for, because they keep signing up with cheap hosts who are unreliable. That, plus they keep tinkering with stuff that, in the end, takes the entire system down.

Pussy Willow's picture

I think you've hit the nail on the head, Catfish.

BF's Admin tried to get by on the cheap and got ripped off. I do feel sorry for him but the problem is, I feel ripped off, too.

You'd think they would make a backup before tinkering wouldn't you?

Yay!!! Thank you, TXKJUN!!!!

I can hardly wait.

I think Catfish and Inquest are still having problems getting their accounts. Hope they'll get it worked out soon.

TXKJUN's picture

PW I hope they get their accounts soon

I told Sean where we were and I think he's going to get an account.
He is over at blogger.com. But he's working 60 hours a week and has little time to blog.

Pussy Willow's picture

Poor, Sean.

But at least he's bringing in the money. Hope he checks in with us from time to time.

Hellooooooo, Sire!!!!

I was so glad to see you here! What splog - the other stuff on the site? Surely you don't think I would consider anything you do splog? Heaven forbid!!! Not my darling, Sire!

As for the other stuff - well, whatcha gonna do? Looks like we are fighting a losing battle there.

Catfish's picture

Not sure if you saw it elsewhere,...

but I don't see myself going back to BF any time soon. We sat through many shutdowns, then a 3 week crushing time away, and then when they came back some things were changed and moved and gone, and the same problems occurred again. That, plus knowing that they could still have gotten a message out to all of us telling us what the deal was with their system, says that I just don't want to wait around for them anymore.

Now, if this one starts going down, then I may have to go back and forth just so I can post when I want to post. But we'll see.

Catfish's picture

Oh yeah, I also miss,...

knowing who's posting the most recent blogs. This just gives you titles, but no names. Maybe that's to entice us to just read them all, eh?

Pussy Willow's picture

Well, at least they've got the tube that shows your

Buddies' recent posts, so you can just do a quick look-see when you don't want to scroll through all the other stuff.

Pussy Willow's picture

I'm hesitating to go that far, Catfish, because of all

the sploggers on all the other sites. But if they don't come back up very soon I am going to re-post a couple of things over here because I have some follow-up posts to go with them. Once I do that there may be no going back. What a pain, what a pain, what a might big pain!

Catfish's picture

It may be time,...

to start saying "if" it comes back up rather than "when".

Looking at the traffic

that comes here, it might not be so bad. The clicks are fairly good here. I have had a couple of clicks so far off just a few posts. Can't say that happend at BF for me. So maybe we can have our cake (friends) and eat it too (earn).

I haven't had a single click yet,...

but I'm not as worried about making money as I am about having a place to express myself; thank goodness for that.

Pussy Willow's picture

I don't want to do that but you may be right.

I went ahead and claimed this blog with Technorati and I'll probably go ahead and set up an RSS feed. But I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Still, even if BF comes back up soon, I won't be all that trusting until I see how well they stay up.

Thank you :)

And you too, and everyone else too! :)

Hey pussy willow, we can still do the posting we were talking about last week too if you'd like :)

Hey HOw do I get my little hairy purple guy picture on here like Jellen got her flowers up? blink?

Catfish's picture

This one I can answer, Babette,...

you have to go to images and upload it, if it's on your computer or linked onto the web somewhere.

Babette0128's picture

I did that earlier

but there were two places to upload it. So I did it in the other one. I got it from my computer originally and it showed up some place on my blogger thingamajigger but not on the side here. I'll have to try again.

Catfish's picture

Babette, you have to,...

go into your profile, then there's something that offers you the opportunity to upload an image. I had to do it a couple of times myself before I figured it out.

Babette0128's picture

Two places to upload pics

There was actually two separate places to put a picture. One was for the little picture that appears by posts, and the other was for "my images" only... where I have my fuzzy purple guy. Least I found it LOL :) (where to put it)

In case anyone is noticing

I am experimenting with my little picture. I discovered the one I was using was not with permission...got it from a free site, but didn't read all the fine print. Now I am using a photo I took. But my love of flowers may show up again. If only my tulips would take a good picture...I must give it a try.

I noticed the change,...

but didn't know the rule about the picture from a site. I mean, how would they know it was theirs, especially here? But I like this picture much better anyway.

Copyright theft

comes in all sizes, and I would not want to be guilty of using clip art or icons that belong to someone else. Rights must be purchased for use and I was using the photo, unknowingly, but without permission and without pay.

This photo is of the coastline near Ketchikan, Alaska - Nichols Passage - where the cruise ships enter the port. That's one vote for it. I shall wait and see who else likes it. Maybe it's a keeper.

Hiiiiieeeeee!!!!! Back atcha, Babette!!!!

So glad you made it!!! You bet, let's still do those posts we were talking about. While I am still mourning the death - or maybe just a really long coma - of BlogFeast, life must go on. I've already started working on mine but it's a hard one so it may take me a few more days to get it together. Lots of emotions to work through when you write something like that.

Babette0128's picture

What exactly are you doing? For the post?

Oh ya.. .you have to recall it all to share it. I understand. Fortunately mines' dead :) LOL ... so, I was fortunate enough to let go of all that... it's not as harsh for me to write about as it was in the past. I still get excited over it? But there's no "kick" to it, if you know what I mean (I think you do) if you like, PM me and let me know your thoughts as to how your putting it together. I can work on mine as well.

I think all I'd hvae to do, which would be time consuming as well, is look up old messages that I have in a network and put them together in a format. (I don't mind that it's time consuming :)) Not a problem.

And you know, maybe it will help someone else.
