jsierra.net is Listed on Blogshares!

I finally figured out how the heck to get listed on Blogshares!!! I know I can't be the only person out there who has also had trouble getting listed, so I've decided to post a nice little write-up on how to do it. If you're like me and you don't use blogging software (or your blogging software does not support weblogs.com), you may find this of interest. First I had to add the following HTML to my site:

Just replace the "http://jsierra.net" and "Jorge Sierra's Home on the Web" bits with whatever you like for your site. Next, I just went to the Weblogs ping form and put in my website info. It quickly appeared on their changes page, and a few minutes later it was on Blogshares! Woohoo! If you've found this little mini-howto useful, please feel free to link to me and help to increase the value of jsierra.net. ;)

SSI is Working and Other News

No real big update, just making a note that Paul got SSI working for me so everything on the page should be back in working order. There was one other news item... Ummm... Oh yeah, Gloria and Paul are engaged. :-D

Congratulations guys!!! I'm looking forward to the wedding! ;-)

jsierra.net is back! Again! Again!

The nomadic jsierra.net has yet again found a new home, thanks to my good friend Paul. Thanks Paul! Hmmm, it's Friday the 13th and there's a full moon out. Maybe I should have picked another day to put the site up. ;) I'm sure it will be fine. Alex got hacked and has given up hosting until who knows when, so I was home(page)less. Kuumba was hosting me for a little while, but we never got mail working so I moved on to another host. Thanks for the temporary home Kuumba!

A couple of updates since the last update... Well, I can't even' get f*@#'n IDSL, so I'm stuck with a slowdem at home. Hopefully Comcast will get their act together and have cable available in my area. I think I've more or less decided that I'm too lazy and broke for wireless. I'm having some trouble with SSI on Paul's server, so I'm going to generate this page statically for now. Don't be surprised if you encounter broken links. Hopefully it will all be fixed soon.
