Add This

Trying to figure out how to use the "add this" widget. Here goes:

Dad's New Website

I'm almost finished building dad's new website for his company.

I used GoDaddy. It's tricky to figure out and somewhat annoying to move stuff around. But the tech support guys are awesome! You can call any time and they'll walk you through it.

My dad is in the excavating business in Staten Island.

For many years, he has gone by the name John Ippolito Trucking & Excavating. However, for Web searches, the name J. Ippolito Excavating seems to works better. I hope he doesn't mind the change.

You can check out the site in progress at excavatenyc.com.
 
 
 

Reddit or Not

Reddit is about the worst bookmark site I've tried - if that's even what it is. I can't tell.
I tried to post a link there.

They make you type the funky scripty letters in a box to make sure you are human - which is fine. Until it kept telling me I was incorrect. I know my eyes are shot even with glasses, but I'm not that blind! I kept trying over and over until it finally said I guessed the letters correctly.

Then I filled out the submission request. It had fields for the URL you want to post and a Title you can give it. When you click submit, suddenly another field pops up for comments. Underneath in red letters it says "there seems to be nothing here!" The stupid thing is accusing me of not writing a description when it never gave me a chance to in the first place.

Then I click submit and absolutely nothing happens.

Stick to Digg, StumbleUpon and Delicious instead.

Fun blog for parents and kids

My sister and niece, age 9, started a blog about places to go and things to do with kids. It's called A Kid's Guide to Cool. Check it out.

Funny Bible Quotes

First week after new year and already I'm pissing off my friends online.

I started a new blog called Weird Bible Quotes.

Did you know that Abraham pimped out his wife Sarah to local rulers as he traveled from town to town? Or that God created the entire animal Kingdom in failed attempts to find Adam a mate?

Other fun Bible facts: a guy with no balls or penis cannot be of the church; if your slave dies two days after being beaten to an inch of his life, it is not considered murder; and in the early days on earth there were many gods who mated with mortals to create a superhuman race.

There are passages about cannibalism, human sacrifice and incest. And that's just the first five chapters of the Good Book. See for yourself.

Anyhow, I linked to this new blog on my Facebook page, and that was a mistake. I started all kinds of trouble.
