You guys have to try it. Simply type your username plus elmwood into the google prompt. So for example, I tested elmwood liz and liz's journal comes up number one. It is kind of weird now that you become your username. Not everyone comes up number one, but I think everyone comes up on page one.

If your username is your name then it gets really personal because according to google, which is the defacto factualizer, you are in fact elmwood liz. So much for anonymity.

If you really want to get personal go ahead and type a journal entry with your name in it or other identifying facts. Google begins to search your journal and it adds the the persona you create online. I tested it earlier last week and already Paul Visco shows up on google as well. Luckily, the pictures do not. I have them masked simply as dated number strings. If you guys want this changed please tell me.

Try asking some other search engine about the elmwood strip. For example I asked jeeves Who is paul on the elmwood strip or What is the elmwood strip and there are lots of results.

Or at yahoo is the weirdest one. For some reason Yahoo likes to cache specific journal entries more than google. Google seems to like to cache just the username so it takes you to the latest journal. Try typing paul on the elmwood strip into yahoo or just click here

It brings you to my first audio blog. How does it choose that over every other one!!!

Stickboy, I support you having a picture of yourself but this picture doesn't do you justice. You look way hotter in real life. Does anyone else agree with this? Support yourself and change the pic.



On another note, we saw everyone out at the pink tonight and I did a ton of advertising. I finally handed out the flyers that I was embarrassed to hand out. I thought they were the worst graphic design I ever made, but I only had a photocopier to work with so give me some credit. Here is the color original.



Jill, Teres, Mike, and I spent the night advertising via chalk which lead to a night of advertising with flyers and markers. I hope someone reading this decides to start a journal, chalk advertisment is now a choice for your sign up referral.



I love for mobile blogging. I wish my cell phone cam only had a flash. I guess I could carry and external one around but it seems impractical. I would be the first to buy a cell phone cam with a flash.

Southern Yankee found her hottest man in pink at the pink and he walked her home? I hope so at least. Maybe they will watch some space porn?

By the way Stickboy and Keith, I think you know each other from a weird towing experience. Maybe you can meet up and figure it out.

Tonight we went to Merlins on the corner of Breckenridge and Elmwood in celebration of the new spell checking capabilities on the site.



We ordered 2 dozen steamer clams and corn on the cob. It looks tasty, as you can see below.



On the wall there is an award and article about Merlins being chosen as the Artvoice reader's choice clam bar, I agree, accept for the wait. I bet the wait would be easier if we were drinking like everybody else.




Big clams are better than little ones, they fill you up. They also have snow crab legs, a bunch of different types of oysters, shrimp, lobster
dainties, clams casino, oysters rockefeller, and dungeness crab.

As they say in Germany. "it tastes."

A lot of you seem concerned about adding entries or reading the site while at work. That is why I created the email system a couple weeks ago. The email system allow you to both read the last ten journal entries or post a journal entry including attached pictures using only your email. This looks a lot less scandalous than the web. For instructions, check out the Info page, which shows up every time you log into the site. Or simply click here [inlink]info,7[/inlink].

I am so glad that i spent about 12 hours straight developing the spell check. I am so angry that the stupid ISP could not install the pspell libraries for PHP.



I was tired of waiting though, as I requested it about 3 months ago, so I went ahead and built my own spell checking class and functions. I assembled about 400,000 english words into a mysql database dictionary, and you'll can add to it, using the spell check function.
