In reply to: Adding Technorati (with image) as a linkI was never able to find a way to do it other than to hard code it.. since in the link text itself it does not have a ‘a href’ in it and the javascript itself is actually what created the links depending on the choices you make for that on the tecnorati site

In reply to: Google Search Goes to Wrong PageIf you looked at the cached page on google:
http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:TXYujDTbUNYJ:www.building-green.org/+Huangbaiyu&hl=enyou will see that google crawled and got that when it was on youre front page… hence why the link takes you to the front page
google does not have a cached copy of your single page url of that article
You would have to have that page itself indexed in google for it to take it to that page
and… next time google indexes your index page if that is not on it.. then it wont have a link to that for that keyword next time

In reply to: Spam petition…ok.. and presenting a list of people who want to fight spam still wont do any good unless you can help fond a way TO stop it.. Also.. Look into seeing that California governor’s Arnold S. has done.. He made it a law.. But better yet, look at the results it has produced. Like I said it’s not about people wanting it to stop, the war on spam is about how TO stop it. I’m willing to bet that about 90% of the people who sign petitions for that in fact actually do things to increase spam.
You might want to research where spam comes from, where the names are gotten from, what lists sell the names, what kind of harvesters get the email addresses from bots off the web that scrape websites.. How to protect email address from even getting on spam lists.. How to prevent spam.
Just my 2 cents.. When you understand how it works, it’s easier to educate people on how to prevent it which is better than putting a list together and just telling someone else to stop it.
You can tell someone else to stop it till you’re blue in the face.. But it won’t do any good when you realize that the things you do daily are what cause it to come back to your email address in the first place.
Every time you click on an email that says unsubscribe me (or even once), you have just validated the email is good. You might be unsubscribed from that list but it is sold to tons of other lists for $$ because that email is now valid.. And it gets you on multiple more mailing lists.
Everytime you “Enter your email address for this download” same thing.. a list of names won’t mean anything if the same people continue to do the same practices which bring them spam (even if they don’t realize what they are doing is contributing)
if you want to petition someone, learn to read the headers and start forwarding the spam to the owner of the domain by doing a WHOIS on the email headers.. Do a traceroute on the ip address it originated from a send the information to the ISP.
THIS is how it works to stop spam… believe me I do this kind of stuff for a living. If the list of petitioners just sign a list it wont do any good.. You have to goto the root of it if you seriously want it stopped.
Sorry about the long 2 cents.. But like I said.. There’s a lot more to it than just a list.. I can tell you that from an email admins point of view

In reply to: How about Liverackok.. didn;t you already post this 5 hours ago?
Instead of making a repeat psot, do some research of others opinions on the net
search for opinions about it on google or a search engine. goto places like epinions.com and look.. but the only thing you will do by repeating the same post 5 hours later is waste peoples time by reading the same thing again from 5 hours ago..Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Spam petition…Ok.. the problem is not wanting people to ban together TO fight spam.. its more like HOW to fight spam that needs to be done. A petition wont do anything except make another list of names and email addresses for a harvester to get and turn around and sell to another spam company.
