ShowMeBlog

Changes to the look of the blogs

  Yes, I have messed with the design of ShowMeBlog again.  I have to much time on my hands.
  It started out last night as just a change to my Fort Worth blog: ShowMe Fort Worth.
  Almost no one reads it so what did it matter if I messed with it right? 
  Well I liked the new look of the theme so I put the same one on Howard’s Notebook. 
  I went to bed for a few hours and then I woke up and messed with the look of ShowMeBlog.
 

  I like the new design for Howard’s Notebook.  I am not sure what you all will think about it. 

 

    I can not take any credit for the design of the theme.  It is called Shiword and the authors home page is:  http://www.twobeers.net/
   

Panasonic HDC-SD600K High-Def Camcorder

  I love my little digital camera.  I carry it every place with me at all times.  I got a new  cell phone and the camera in it is 3.2 MP.  It would be great if it turned out to take great photos and videos.  Then I would only have to carry my cell phone with me.

  I my videos on YouTube are getting a lot of good comments and I am starting to do a better job of making them.  It took me long enough. 

  But let me tell you … a camcorder makes great videos.  They do not slip in your pocket and are hard to carry around with you but the make excellent videos.
  Most of the videos I make are right here in my room. 
  I see that Amazon has the Panasonic HDC-SD600K 3MOS High-Def Camcorder with a 35mm wide angle lens and a 18x zoom on sale right now.  The normal price is $799.00 and it is on sale with free shipping for only $399.00 at this time.

  I hope the price of camcorders keeps coming down.  I used camcorders in the past pre-digital and they make some great videos. 

Search Engines War

 

  Most of the traffic that comes to ShowMeBlog comes from people doing a search on the Internet.
  I am glad that ShowMeBlog is indexed so well by the search sites but it is a bit scary.  It is like they have total control.  If I was not indexed then I would get very little traffic here.
  It would just be you guys that are friends, fans and followers and visit often.

  I am surprised that Google is only 52.9% and that Yahoo is 26.9% and Bing is 17.4%.
I use Google all day long for searching and I think most people do.
  If you like a search engine other than Google leave a comment and tell us why you like it best.

  So far this month I have got 5,286 hits to ShowMeBlog.  On Howard’s Notebook I have received 2,208 hits.  
  If you read my blog you know I HATE the right wing RedStates site.  They get 111,000 hits a DAY!  One reason for me to hate them.

Veoh

  Today I will be working on a page at Veoh. 

 

  I think there are lots of things can could be done with this site.  But if no one visits the page or watches the videos then it is sort of pointless.  But today I will be working on the site.
  I will see if I can use it and see if it gets any traffic for me.
So if you visit it today or in the next day or two understand that I just set it up and am working on it.  It will get better I hope.

Lee Harvey Oswald Gravesite

  I just found out that Lee Harvey Oswald is buried in Fort Worth.  It is 19 miles from where I live.  I was a big fan of President Kennedy.  Four years before he was elected I was in high school and in class the brother asked us to vote for who we wanted to be President of the United States.  I voted for John F. Kenney.  He was not on the ticket at that time.  The brother told me I had to vote for someone that was running but I refused to vote for anyone other than JFK. 
  Four years later I got to vote for John Kennedy for President of the United States.  It was the first time I could vote.  I voted by absentee ballot.  I lived in Missouri but I was going to welding school in Euclid, OH.
  A few year later I was watching TV and they switched from Washington DC to Dallas (TX) to show the transfer of Lee Harvey Oswald.  It was live on network TV.  The camera pulled back and I saw him and I said “Someone is going to kill him.”  My father said “Yes someday.”  I said “NO someone is going to kill him right now.”  And then Jack Ruby stepped from the crowd and shot Oswald.
 
  The following video is an old YouTube video that I made.  It was “Where I Was on November 22, 1963” and you may have seen it. 

Columbus Day 2010

  On Columbus Day (2010) I am feeling very good.  I think that Ultra Man Daily Multi supplement is working.  I hope I am not so weak minded that it is all just in my mind.  My feet and legs are still swollen.  If I could eat better and lose some weight I could find a job and be working.  (I will be 70 in March.)  I would just have to have a job that would let me get to the bathroom to take a piss when I needed to go and I need to go often.

  I have not heard from YouTube yet to see if I am going to be accepted for their partnership program.  I have 417 subscribers right now.  If I had 500 I think they would accept me for sure.  So it might be a good thing that they are taking their time checking me out.

  Wednesday Jimmy and I are going to head over and get or drivers licenses taken care taken care of…Mind is a FL license and Jimmy has a expired CA license. 
  I was thinking we would have a EVO to use to find the office and show our location and everything but not going to happen.  I will have to see what my LG Rumor Touch will do.  I never use the phone.  Since I got it I have not used the data plan for more than 10 minutes.  I should try it out here before I leave home.
  The bus company changed our route.  They moved our bus stop for the third time since I have lived here.  Russell says they have change the times at the bus stop also.  I think he said the bus comes ten minutes sooner at each of the stops on the route.
  It is so hard to get places and do things when you have to take a bus.  At least the weather is nice now.  Man waiting for a bus in August in Texas is a killer.

    I have been messing with my HNB Community Toolbar.  I am working on it now …updating the links and stuff like that… I know most of you do not like toolbars or test them.

YouTube Subscribers

  I just took a look at YouTube.  That is the link to my YouTube Page:  www.youtube.com/hnbbs

                                                                                     I have 398 Subscribers right now.  I think if I had 500 subscribers that YouTube might let me join their Partnership program.  So if you go to YouTube and are signed up as a member please hop over to my page and click on the Subscribe button. 

  Thanks

SemRush

  This is one of those things that none of you are interested in…but that interest me and other people with sites a great deal.
  I found a site:  www.wemrush.com
  It gives you information on sites.  So, yes of course, I put in ShowMeBlog.

  ShowMeBlog has a SEMRush rank of 862671, Google SE Trafffic of 957, SE Traffic price of $485.00 and AdWords Traffic of 0. 
  The SE Traffic price is interesting…They are saying if you wanted to get the sort of traffic that I have to a site you would have to spend $485.00 to do it.

  Their site also tells me that two posts get a LOT of traffic for ShowMeBlog!
  Those are the post on Haulover Beach and Nude Swimming.     
  I guess that should not be a surprise.
  You want a popular site talk about sex, nudity or in the United States guns.

Who gets the biggest laugh in BBS: The Documentary?

  I went to Sonic and got some breakfast.  I got it and took it home.  I also went to a new bakery for this area.  It is Anakaren Bakery.  I got a few items.  I was there a week or longer ago and it looked like the same stuff.  The woman did not speak English.  I got a few items and it all came to $2.00 so I wonder if I got week old bakery goods.  I will find out when I eat them.

  I been having problems sleeping at night.  I need to try and stay awake during the day so I can sleep at night.  But my bed is a few feet away and it is so easy to lay down and take a little nap.

  I got some photos on ImageEvent site. I have been signed up with them for years and years but I never go there or think about them.  In fact I got an email today from them saying my pro membership fee is due.  It is $25.00 and the last time I was at the site was a year ago to pay the fee.

  Photo above was taken when I was in CA for the preview of BBS: The Documentary.  I was the star of the movie.  (OK OK..Just kidding but I was in the movie for a few seconds. Smile!  I do get the biggest laugh in the movie!)
