My Oklahoma Life

[Papa Spot]

Setting it up was a little bit difficult 'cause

I was new to that kind of thing. I started with a canned theme and modified it until I got it like I wanted it. It's popularity varies depending on how much

advertising I'm doing at the moment. I have a regular readership but I don't follow the stats too closely. If you do a Google search with the phrase "my

oklahoma life", it will be the top rated hit. I think that has something to do with how many other sites link to it.

Papa

P.S. Thanks for the

compliment about the pics.

wow thats kind of popular then if it is

the top search when you put it in that is something to be proud of i guess.

Hey, Papa!! I just read your blog again, and your trying to get a

message board up and running for your blog!
That's a good idea so people can post their

comments there.

Personally, though, I don't like SMF. I tested it on my localhost once,

and it look crowded. Ya know, small text sixe, too many buttons.
I'm not sure if you can

customise that in the ACP, cause I didn't mess around with it much.

I dunno though, you

might like SMF. Your choice. Personally, I like MyBB better
And I'd recommend MyBB,

but then, I'd recommend MyBB to anyone cause I like it. But you might like somethin' else

better, so... Your choice!
I could even skin MyBB to match your blog!! Lol, I might already

start on it, cause I love to skin so much!
I just went ahead and started making a theme

anyway
If you wanna see it just go

here:
http://themedesigners.freehostia.com/index.php
And I ain't finished with it yet

either. )
I set it as default. Don't worry, though, if you don't want it I'll just rename it and

release it
Oh the horrors of thinking up theme names, eh, cloudhunter? LOL! We've

had experience! I'm surprised we ever got a new name on that theme.. Simplistic Style? LOL!

No one's downloaded it yet either! hehe

Just thought I'd comment
What your doing

is a good idea though, and I like it!!


EDITED because first comments were purely

insulting, though what do you expect after just finishing a MATH lesson

Yeah! Papa, thats a GREAT idea!

FW, I really like that theme. I compared

it to Papa's blog, and they're the same with, and they use the same colors!! It looks

GREAT!

Yeah, MyBB is great ;) 'Specially if you have FW to skin it for you!

lol

Oh yeah, Papa, I added your link on my blog

I made 3

categories:

Blogs
Forums
Sites

Well, you can sorta guess what category you

went under :lol:

Another update.

Hey Papa, I uploaded the theme I made like

your blog here so you can see what it looks like!

[Papa Spot]

You uploaded it to here, FW? I'll check it out!

The original purpose

behind the forum was to have it available in case the local one that I post on craters. I also

wanted it so people could comment on the blogs since I have comments disabled. Also, Sister

Spot and I are developing a web site with photo album, message board, etc. for our family and

I wanted her to look at SMF. I'm not too wild about it either but it has better security than

MyBB and security is a real concern since people will be putting addresses, phone numbers,

pictures of the kids, etc. on it.

WHOA!! FW, I LIIIIIIIIIIIKE it!! Thanks!

Not really. You can make it so guests

can not see the forum at all, or you can make it so guests can see the forum but cannot read

the threads inside the forum. Which would mean they couldn't see any pics or addresses!

;)

WHOA!! FW, I LIIIIIIIIIIIKE it!! Thanks!

You're welcome, Papa!

Glad ya like it!
