We Have Page Rank!

Posted by: drivelocity In: Site News

I think I’ve emailed those that I needed to to let them know that this site now has a Page Rank on Google. But, in case you’re interested, and didn’t get the message, drivelocity.com has achieved a PR3.
It’s not a bad starting point, but moving beyond that with a newer site can be difficult. I [...]

“New” Office Chair

Posted by: drivelocity In: At Work

The highlight of my day… a “new” chair for my cube.
I’ve been at my current job for a couple years now and I’ve had the same broken chair the entire time. It wasn’t enough for me to complain about, especially since I was new and then grew used to it and, after a while, didn’t [...]

Nice Foggy Morning

Posted by: drivelocity In: Home Life

Some people think I’m strange when I say that I love the fog. I mean it. I really love the fog. Sacramento gets some nice Tule fog that can cover much of the valley this time of year. Yes, I understand that it’s dangerous for drivers, but I think it’s also beautiful and comforting.

Top Commentators Link Hijack Vulnerability

Posted by: drivelocity In: Blogging| Site News

I was using the Top Commentators plugin, created by WebGrrrl, downloaded from WordPress.org. Supposedly the latest version released by her fixed the link hijack vulnerability by allowing you to group by name or email address, but as I discovered today, it didn’t work. I don’t know if it was intentional link hijacking, but will assume [...]

Subscribe To Comments

Posted by: drivelocity In: Blogging| Site News

I just finished installing the Subscribe To Comments plugin. Finally. This will enable visitors who comment to be notified of responses to the comments for that particular post. It’s a great plugin and will keep visitors coming back and being active. I don’t know how many times I’ve forgotten which blogs I’ve commented on and [...]

Five Top Blog Advertising Options

Posted by: drivelocity In: Blogging| On The Web

I’ve been in this game for a while, but I’m relatively new to blogging. I understand that a lot of people get into this industry because they think they can make a quick buck. I have no illusions. I am sure that this blog will be my least profitable web site. But that doesn’t mean [...]

V.P. Cheney Admits to War Crimes

Posted by: drivelocity In: In The News| Politics

While we’ve known much of the truth about how the American public was lied to in order for the Bush Administration to sell the war and the atrocities associated to that war, there has not been true confirmation by the President or Vice President on this issue. Until now.
