RonSo, I got some technical things done with my blog figured out today.
First off, I figured out how to include files on my page. I’m still not sure why it didn’t work when I tried including the file directly — using a php include thing. But then I discovered an include-it plugin. So… I installed it and it worked like a charm.
It allows me to create a news and link page where I concentrate on the format. And then I just include files for the content. I see myself updating this content numerous times each day, so I want something easier than always editing the page.
So, my workflow now is, Google Alerts come in to my email. I filter through the email — and the ones which I decide are good enough … I add them to some text files I created… creating a text link that makes some sense for the content.
I then created a windows ftp macro which copies the files from my computer to my website… All very nice. And it allows me to use my editor of choice: emacs.
I created a half dozen or so buckets to organize the alerts find… things like Nude Photography, Erotic Stories, Nude News, Being Nude, Nude Modelling.
Then I visited statcounter.com — for I use them and love them for tracking my site MyAsianLover.com … I tried paying once, but now just use the free service… it’s good enough. And I discovered they have a wordpress plugin now. So, I downloaded and installed it on my nuderiver.com site.
LOVE IT!!… for I now finally have stats running on my site. It might be discouraging if I find I’m not getting any visitors. But hopefully, as I work on the site, I will see the visitor count increase… and this will in turn encourage me to update the site.
In this void, where I create something, write something, but get so little feedback on it — it’s hard to know if anyone out there is even looking at my creations. With stats, knowing there is are real people out there reading this — that will help motivate me to continue.
At the very least though, all these entries will help people know me and know this time of my life. Who knows what the future holds. Maybe I will die in 6 months or 6 years or 60 years… I don’t know. Whatever my future holds, however short or long, I will share it, here and with you.
Sometimes I worry that my entries may repeat the same thoughts. But actually, that’s ok and I shouldn’t worry about it. For, as the number of blog entries I have grows and grows, I don’t really expect anyone to read it all.
I want you to be able to join me, find my blog at any time, pick it up and read it — and it shouldn’t matter that I already wrote 100 entries or whatever. I want you to be able to join me here at any time, and for however long our roads intertwine and we walk our separate paths — yet similar paths that have met.
Now… the next thing I want to do with my site is to make wordpress multi-site. I’m not sure if I should use one database or two. I’m thinking one — don’t see the need for two databases. I want to move MyAsianLover.com — my homemade porn side — to wordpress.
At the same time, I want to password protect it. I will still share my sex videos free of charge — and want to put more content up too… I haven’t touched the site for like 2 years now. But I want to password protect it just so people I know don’t find it by accident. My wife is ok, sort of, with putting the videos up — but… she’s definitely not ok if our family or anyone we know will find it. Ok… tomorrow’s job.
I wonder… how to password protect a wordpress blog? I just want to require that people register and I will manually approve them. Everyone will be approved, completely free — except… if I somehow know them. Of course, someone I know might pretend to be someone else. I might end up just banning anyone from Canada?… might be safest.
Maybe… if I want to password protect the site… maybe that’s reason for having a new database for it? I want to keep the users separated…. maybe the 2nd database is the safer way to try first?

…. wow… still waiting for the bus… ridiculous. The driver came in, barely slowed down at the platform, and just left… leaving everyone stunned and stranded here. It was bus 7755, #43, leaving Kennedy station at 1:35 am, the morning of Feb. 5′th. I’ll phone customer service tomorrow. This driver should be reprimanded … and even lose his job. Like… he can’t treat passengers like this. Of course people are waiting inside the platform as it’s -15 C out now. Maybe he’s a bit behind schedule… but… no excuses…
Oh well… time to listen to my book on The Tao and calm down… another bus should be here in 4 minutes…

Now at home… time for bed… night night my love and sweet dreams….
