Updates: *Edits* 4

So I finally added a Recent Comments Widget above my Labels Widget, after all this time---I hadn't had much luck with getting Blogger template edits to work for me so I used the simple way of adding widgets. I figured that adding a Recent Comments Widget would help visitors know what posts are being commented on and give them a preview of comments so that they may decide to leave their own.

Since I haven't posted about it yet, but you've already noticed it---I just wanted to say that I added a Labels Widget awhile back. The pro of this is helping visitors locate content blogged about easily. The con of this is that it makes my Blog look longer than it really is---because of the vast amount of content published.

Also awhile back, I added the tool Site Meter to help keep track of visitor statistics and all that good stuff. Site Meter is at the very bottom of my Blog underneath my ClustrMap Widget.

Today I neatened up my Profile---after a long time of putting it off and because it makes my Profile easier to read. I may have to eventually take off some non-essential Widgets for the sake of loading times, but while everything is up and running smoothly they will remain.

Oh one other thing here is the 2009 Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Of North Carolina General Assembly Edition of my Blog card:
I didn't have an exhibit there in case you are asking but I did hand out this card to various people there.

DNS Errors Redirect To Google Images Search

Apparently, Google has some glitch that redirects DNS Errors to it's image search engine on Microsoft Internet Explorer. Here is an example:

Web Images Maps News Shopping Gmail more ▼Video

Groups Books Scholar Finance Blogs YouTube Calendar Photos Documents Reader Sites

even more »Sign in
Google Advanced Image Search
Preferences
Moderate SafeSearch is on

Images Showing: All image sizesExtra Large imagesLarge imagesMedium imagesSmall images Any contentNews contentFacesPhoto content



Your search - http://www.sortr.org/gadgets_adshare.php - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:
Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.

This has happened before on my computer, but not to my Blog until yesterday. Apparently this has happened to other people as well---see: DNS Error Redirects to Google Image Search. Anyways, because of that I've gotten behind on Blogging, but the good news is I've had no problems so far on Safari and Firefox so I'll be able to continue Blogging from one of those in the meantime.

Mistakes 2

Sorry for the misspelling on the title of this post: TheoPoetic Musings: My Political Canidate---Jesus For President: Long Live The Slaughtered Lamb, but since it's too late for me to change it and the links to it, I'm leaving it as is. I caught the spelling error after posting it and linking to it in another post---it should be: My Political Candidate---Jesus For President: Long Live The Slaughtered Lamb.

Secondly from this post: TheoPoetic Musings: 08-08-08 At 8 P.M.: My Cousin's Wedding: "Also, my mom believes that homosexuality is God's answer to the problem of overpopulation." should be corrected to: "Also, my mom believes that homosexuality is possibly God's way of dealing with/one of God's answers to the problem of overpopulation."

Please let me know if you catch any other mistakes such as spelling errors, broken links or what not.

I now have a buisness card advertising my Blog:

Also, I added some new widgets and rearranged my layout:

First I added a Clustrmap , which I have moved below my Profile (which is located below My Blog List).

Secondly, the reason I moved my Clustrmap was because I also added a Feedjit widget, which also has a map of where site visitors are from but provides further details. Visitors take time to explore both of these handy gadgets. Feedjit (which is located between my Snapshots badge and my Blog Archive) also allows one to view top page hits of the day on my Blog and you can also view visitor activity on my Blog. Here is an example of that:

Buies Creek, North Carolina arrived from blogsearch.google.com on "TheoPoetic Musings: So as I was Googling Dr. Queen, my pastor..." by searching for "divinity school student".
10:27:25 -- 13 hours 40 mins ago
Grand Rapids, Michigan arrived from blogsearch.google.com on "TheoPoetic Musings: What Can We Know Of The Truth?" by searching for "James K.A. Smith".
10:09:49 -- 13 hours 58 mins ago
India arrived from in.search.yahoo.com on "TheoPoetic Musings: Defining The Bible" by searching for HEBREW BIBLE.
10:01:49 -- 14 hours 6 mins ago
New Orleans, Louisiana arrived from us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com on "TheoPoetic Musings: Defining The Bible".
06:52:34 -- 17 hours 15 mins ago
Perpignan, Languedoc-Roussillon arrived from blogsearch.google.com on "TheoPoetic Musings: Preteens use dance to share faith" by searching for preteens.
06:07:51 -- 18 hours ago Wilmington, North Carolina left via www4.clustrmaps.com from "TheoPoetic Musings"

Thirdly, I added my Blog to the website Blogged, which presents a directory of different Blogs and rates them. My Blogged rating based on the editor's review is a 8.1---visitors can check this out by going to my Blogged Rating badge, which is located between my Youtube widget and Blogged badge. If one clicks on my Blogged Rating badge, it will take you to this page and if one clicks on the Blogged badge, it will bring up the directory of Christion Blogs on Blogged.

Finally, I added three other Feedjit widgets: a Feedjit Live Traffic Map, which is located between my Profile and Clustrmap; a Feedjit Live Page Popularity widget (which is located under my Scripture Of The Day and Google widgets), which should help visitors find pages that visitors have accessed the most and along with that I added the Feedjit Recommended Reading widget (which is located between my Blog List and my Profile) and is similar in function to the Feedjit Live Page Popularity widget.

Update: *Edits* 2

I moved my YouTube Videos widget in between my Blog Archive and My Blog List for convenience. If you haven't noticed by now, I changed My Blog List to include previews of the sites in My Blog List's most recent posts.

I added a Add This Dropdown Button making it easier for visitors to bookmark this Blog to various sharing websites.

I also added Snap Shots which you can read about here:

Introducing Snap Shots from Snap.com
I just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia articles, MySpace profiles, IMDb profiles and Amazon products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s, photos, stock charts and more.

Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.

Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.

Snap Shots doesn't function properly close to embedded YouTube videos, but other than that it provides the ease of accessibility of interactive material for both insite and offsite hyperlinks.

Mistakes

I caught a spelling error from a recent post:

Anyways, here is a theologically liberal website that I enjoy, sometimes and a theologiically conservative one that I enjoy, sometimes.

---which I have now corrected.

Oh and here's the link to our special needs ministries that I was looking for a few posts back.

as I never know when the scripture will come back or go again.
