Harnessing the healing power of snark

Okay, Internet, I Need Your Help!

By 12 Comments

I am trying to get The Truth Laid Bare blog ranking system set up on my blog, and I am having A Lot Of Problems.

I have set up an account at truthlaidbare.com.

I have added my blog and validated and confirmed it on the “My Blogs” page.

I put up the Javascript code for my ranking in the ecosystem on my site. (It was up for over a week and I never got any ranking at all.)

But for some odd reason, I cannot “Claim My Blog”. I added my blog over two weeks ago, but when I search for it in the system I get NOTHING.

I even tried all of this in Internet Explorer just in case the problem was Mozilla Firefox, but I still got the same NOTHING results.

I wrote to The Truth Laid Bare asking for help, but I never heard anything back.

So now I am asking you, my Internet friends, what did you do to get this to work on your sites? What am I missing? What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be MOST appreciated, by both me AND my husband as then I would not need to send him a text message later in the day to express my frustration by saying, “I HATE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING!”

Thanks.

Why, While Making An Excellent Rebel, I Will Also Never Be A Technology Master

Me, on the phone with my husband.

Me: “Say, hypothetically speaking, you went to the store and bought a “26” printer cartridge because you thought that was the right one, but then you got home and you discovered that you actually need a “56” printer cartridge. Could you just go ahead and use the “26” anyway?”

My husband: “Uh, n-o-o-o. They put those numbers there for a reason!”

Possession Is 9/10 Of The Law

When it comes to me and my relationship to technology, I would say that I am somewhere in the middle of the pack. I’m definitely not on the level of my husband and his engineering, techie friends, who routinely sit around and discuss how easy it would be for them to wire together every single electronic apparatus in the Universe, which they could then control merely by blinking their eyes and activating the computer chip embedded deep within their brain. Or something like that. I tend to tune out whenever the conversation starts to sound like this:

“…486SQLSAPRAMGB1.oGIG64XP…”

(Or whenever they decide that they simply cannot continue living unless they fire up Google Earth right now.) [Read more…] about Possession Is 9/10 Of The Law
