the best new liberal blog on the internet (v2.0)

Post by Xyun »

http://www.opinionazi.com

I just put it up late last night and it is still not showing up on searches. I registered it with google and gave them my sitemap but I still need a little traffic to get going. It is just a skeleton right now but I will update it often. I hope you guys take a look at it and leave a comment of what you think about the content. Meanwhile, I would love suggestions in this thread about how to improve the site technically. I see those digg buttons and the like all over but I need to learn how to incorporate them. I might mess around with the slogan to see what sticks. But i think in the end, content is going to be what drives it, and luckily I'm pretty proficient at writing. 8)

Unfortunately, I can see issues with the domain name causing it to not be available in some areas.

opinionazi.com is set to auto-forward to http://www.opinionazi.com/Home/Blog/Blog.html so any time you hit the back button just once from the blog, you're forwarded back to the blog automatically.

I've been working on a really long post. Problem is weekends are tough for me since i work doubles on fri. sat. and mon. I think I'm going to have my brother contribute some writing as well. My long post will be up tonight for sure.

As far as the back button goes, it works fine for me but i'm still trying to make the first page the home page without it routing to a new page. I'm working with mac software called iweb so if anyone knows how to fix this on iweb please let me know. I will probably figure it out. kk.

When I try to view the comments of your blog entries, they error out:

Code: Select all

# Exception: TypeError
# Message  : contentDiv.getElementsByClassName("comment-manage-link").each is not a function
Also, all the ads are for support of John McCain, not including the front page.

Also, leaving off the www and just typing opinionazi.com into the location bar gets you a godaddy.com parking page.

Unless I'm mistaken, the issue with the back button is with IE. Firefox handles the redirect fine and works as you'd expect it to. The problem with IE is usually caused by using a refresh to redirect to the new page rather than an http redirect. How to fix that varies with your web server and / or scripting language.

OK, I've been having the same problem with the comments, but when I asked others they said that the comments were working fine for them. This issue is the one I'm trying to correct the most, and is the most urgent.

The ads I don't care about as they will correct themselves over time.

Also, leaving off the www and just typing opinionazi.com into the location bar gets you a godaddy.com parking page.
Will look into fixing this tonight.

my site is hosted at .mac. As I have stated numerous times I'm a complete noobtard when it comes to anything regarding scripting and/or programming language. I will attempt to fix this, but it may take some time as I already tried to look into it and haven't figured it out yet. On a side note, it has been years since i've used explorer as it is inferior to pretty much any other major web browser, but seeing as how it is probably still the most popular i want to fix this issue. I don't think it is a major issue.
I wouldn't publicize a blog unless it had 4+ articles to read... also thank god for the image at the top that says "blog" otherwise I wouldn't know what I was looking at. :D
Ok as far as content goes, I'm working on a long post at the moment which has taken me longer than expected. I just added a new post and will be adding much more meat to the bones in the days ahead. The link that says Blog at the top of the page is actually the navigation bar. Unfortunately the blog page is currently the only page to navigate to, lol. I'm planning on adding a more pages as well, but for now, it will have to do.

Anyway, thanks for the advice so far. As you can see the project is brand new and I still have a lot of work to do. I haven't gone out of my way to advertise it, except for a few small communities that i'm personally involved in including VV, myspace, and my email list. I plan on doing aggressive advertising on other major blogs and sites once I have all the kinks worked out. Nonetheless, I'm personally pretty happy with my progress so far and look forward to submitting more opinions.

Spang, check again and see if the comments problem is fixed. I'm pretty sure I fixed it. I assume you are using firefox 3, the latest version. I had to patch my site building software and it worked. Let me know if you continue to have the problem, but I doubt you do. Now on to other problems.

Nice work Xyun. Do you photoshop the images you use yourself? I like the style as sometimes real pictures distract people from the text. It also creates a uniform look to the page. It looks like you chose to make the page margins pretty skinny. I'm guessing that will work well on mobile internet devices. It's also easier to read text when the lines aren't too wide.

I agree with booger that the domain name might be filtered. Also don't like the "made by Mac" part at the bottom of the page! That sends a more elitist mesage than liberal!

Yea, I take real pics and turn em into cartoons. The look of the page is actually a template blog for iWeb, apple's site building software. I did tweak it a bit, but the margins and stuff I didn't mess with. I should probably take the made on a mac ad off there, but if it makes me sound elitist, well... it stays!

I discussed the domain name issue with my brother and we agreed that the possibility of it being filtered is more of a reason to keep it than to get rid of it. ;)

Thanks for visiting, i hope you guys come back.

Just an update. I took the 'made on a mac' button off, and also got it to where if you type opinionazi without the www in the address bar it takes you to my page. And it is also now coming up on all the search engines. However, I still haven't figured out how to make the page appear at http://www.opinionazi.com without the /Opinionazi/Blog/Blog.html crap. I know there has to be a way, but can't seem to find it on my site building software and haven't really figured out how to find the fix on the web, although i know one must exist. If any of you geeks know the way please enlighten me!

I'd like to have more regular patrons and comments and this community is a good spot for me to solicit, so if any of you subscribe to RSS feeds, please grab mine and look at it once in a while or just click the link in my sig. I also would appreciate some clicks on the ads! I've made $4 so far! Though the site cost me like $140. Any other feedback is much appreciated. I've started to embed a lot more videos and give less commentary due to time constraints, but I do put up lengthy, well thought out posts when I have the time. Also of note, predictify.com ads on my sight! Small virtual world.

Last but not least, take a look at the comments by 'Reasonable' and let me know if it sounds like someone you know. :lol:

i'm not sure if there is a way to actually conceal the page from the URL unless it is index.html that you are viewing. been out of the web development biz for awhile, though!

if you use index.html as your main page and dont redirect from there, the URL should remain opinionazi.com. Currently the index page appears to be redirecting to the blog.html document (this also results in the behavior where you have to click Back multiple times rapidly for the back button to actually work)

you might be able to do something with frames possibly- loading index.html as a header and the blog as a child.. but frames are so tacky

I've used Firefox for as long as it has been available. I don't block ads. They're necessary to keep the tubes flowing. Without ad revenue, much of the content that that I enjoy would cease to be available for free.

I'll click ads on Xyun's site today.

If you put that code in opinionazi.com/index.html, people should only see http://www.opinionazi.com/ in the address bar while looking at the blog, without the extra directories (not that they matter, but it will also fix the back button issue)

Xyun your a liberal fuck.

Your on this board and were on Veeshan so what the hell, I love liberals if there American Liberals. I can help you with this. One of the companies I own is a large multi million $ company based on the internet and this is one of my main functions and oversite. We deal with Google Directly about once a month.

Your title?? Do a view source....what the fuck

Your meta tags?? hmmm Ok you have much you can do right away.

Ok you need to make your header or title be the main search term someone would put in to find you site. example I sell labor law posters at laborlawcc.com...check out the header labor law posters-state etc.......etc..etc..

The meta tags you need to put all the maine search terms in this area...put them in phrases see on my site the meta name description and meta name keywords. These are the main terms you see someone searching for your site. And the main discription you see for your site.

See the google bots after you register with google, and you are listed....Will use those terms to ping back mainly the title, then the meta tags.....then the content. The better structured your site is the better your rankings will go up.

You can even make images on your pages show content text. It all helps. Links from .orgs and .govs are 5-100times bigger than normal links. And if you get on dmoz which u should only submit one time every year, you will gain one google ranking just being on it. Do not submit more than one time per year or you'll get in the dog house. Atm im trying to sneak in as a editor and add my own site hehe.


I suggest registering to microsoft or yahoo if needed aswell....and they have slightly different strategies.

Now if you want to play with the big dogs after sometime...You'll have to expand into google adds. Which is a beast to control and you must have money coming in big time to think about this. We spend 1-2k a day on this shit. It all depends were u want togo with it. NEVER do content unless you like being pounded in the ass by Google.

Get a API on google Rankingshttp://www.googlerankings.com/ and start ranking your site to measure your progress...also to measure progress add in seo [url]quakehttp://www.seoquake.com/[/url] On directories http://www.best-web-directories.com/ you have many free directories you can register in.

I have a good examples I can explain to you better, but im reluctant unless in private. Could cost me money by some of the haters.

BTW,

Your page Sucks and I wont read it you Liberal Fk!!! :lol:, but Im not a hater.

Thanks for the advice, I've been slowly working on some of these issues. The problem I have is I don't want someone to do it for me, I want to learn it, which makes it much much more time consuming and I am horrible when it comes to web related tech jargon. Ask Pyrella or Sylvus or Cadalano!

I'm just beginning to understand some of this stuff like metatags. I realize the page is extremely amateurish, but that's ok because I'm an amateur. It LOOKS the way I want it to look, with minor things I need to fix. I hope to do all the things you said in time, but the blog is my hobby that I work on during my free time. I don't have much free time, and the most important part of it to me is the content, a weblog not just for others to read but for myself and my family to read in the future when we look back on this time. In that sense content takes priority over all.

I haven't had time to work on the technical aspects in weeks. I tried to put Fash's code in there to fix the address bar and it didn't work. That was a couple weeks ago, and I still haven't figured out how to go directly to the source page and edit it through my site building software or the host.

Lots to do, I agree.

I don't expect to spend any time on the back end of it between now and the election, on the front end i will try to add content as often as I can. From now until the election, my focus will be registering voters, phone banking, canvassing, and blogging. Everything else can fall by the wayside until November 5th.

Ok this is the first thing you gotta figure out...once you have this down the next step will be easy. Who do you use???

The next step: Well something Id suggest to do sooner than later is the header title and meta tags....They are easy for you to learn and do...I mean a few-some hours of time with learning about them. Once you have that done and are registered it will build abit on its own without your time needed by the bots. This will build your base. If I get sometime I may send ya a suggestion...I spend all day with cpus around me anyways, but I understand u may want to learn this area more by yourself. Thats how I did it and thats why i appreciate it.

BTW ill click on adds if that money is not used against Mccain!!!

If it supports the site then you must ask yourself "Is this site for or against McCain...?". I think the answer is pretty evident.

You're really only providing some mediocre comedey relief.

As I mentioned last month, I planned a major overhaul of my blog because many aspects of it were troubling me, including the name. Since I didn't have the time to do it before the election, I decided to postpone it and any further entries until after the election. Granted it will be more difficult to get readers during political slow season, this overhaul was much needed. Please check it out and let me know what you think. This community has been very gracious in your support and critique of my blog project and I hope that continues. I would love to hear comparisons to the previous site (which has been taken down), including things that improved and things that diminished. The site is called Progressive Junction. Check it out:

http://www.progressivejunction.com

Feel free to leave a comment on the latest post.

Thanks.

I don't tip.

- You don't tip?
- I don't believe in it.

You don't believe in tipping?

Do you know what these chicks make? They make shit.

If she don't make enough money, she can quit.

I don't even know a fuckin' Jew who'd have the balls to say that.

Let me get this straight. You don't ever tip, huh?

I don't tip because society says I have to.

If they really put forth the effort, I'll give 'em somethin' extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doin' their job.

- This girl was nice.
- She was okay. She wasn't anything special.
- What's special? Take you in the back and suck your dick?

I'd go over 15% for that.

I ordered coffee, all right? She's only filled my cup three times. I want it filled six times.

Six times? Well, what if she's too fuckin' busy?

The words "too fuckin' busy" shouldn't be in a waitress's vocabulary.

Excuse me, Mr. Pink, but the last fuckin' thing you need's... another cup of coffee.

These ladies aren't starvin' to death. They make minimum wage.

I used to work minimum wage, and when I did I wasn't lucky enough to have a job that society deemed tip-worthy.

You don't care they're countin' on your tips to live?

You know what this is?

The world's smallest violin, playin' just for the waitresses.

You don't have any idea what you're talkin' about.

These people bust their ass. This is a hard job.

So's working at McDonald's, but you don't feel the need to tip them.

They're servin' you food, but society says "Don't tip these guys over here, but tip these guys." That's bullshit.

Waitressing is the number-one occupation for female non-college graduates in this country. It's the one job basically
any woman can get and make a living on. The reason is because of their tips.

Fuck all that. I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips. That's fucked up. That ain't my fault. It would appear that waitresses are one of the many groups the government fucks in the ass on a regular basis. Show me a paper that says the government shouldn't do that, I'll sign it. I'll vote for it. But what I won't do is play ball. This non-college bullshit, I got two words for that: Learn to fuckin' type. If you're expectin' me to help out with the rent, you're in for a big surprise.

He's convinced me. Give me my dollar back.
