Just looked at this post now looking at the site good title, and anything that can strip away the nonsense gets my vote as you do Danny. I always get odd looks when telling business people my model since school has focused both loose and firmly on being creative and doing this by destroying the established preceptions.I grew up on the back end of Punk and know that has moulded me and society in more ways than most would admit, as did my parents. Looking forwad to mroe :)

Mark Longbottom Hey there mate, thanks for checking it out, and funny how the punk adiom still holds so much sway, eh? Here's to it long continuing.

My latest conversation: Is Klout Doing More Than Using Facebook to Inflate Their Numbers?

Got caught up yesterday just on my way to the site now, oddly yesterday i was censored on a Linked In group and asked not to post generic discussions. My view for that was leaving it open for people to learn from each other’s industries. there i was towing the line, and now feel bullied into submission.

But raring to go as I know I have sense on my side as people talk and here is someone assuming they can control that.

Absolutely right that punk has shaped a lot more than sound and fashion, mainly the fact that people go out and produce something themselves and now they have the technology to go with the ability.

Nearly time to launch myself wholeheartedly on tumblr too, just finding the time to be me, have a good weekend.

Hey, the big Day for Gamers is 11-11-11 when Skyrim releases :) Feed subscription worked fine for me, but I abandoned Feedburner a while ago for Feedblitz because I couldn't resolve the RSS Feed issues regarding sizing.

I'm looking out for MW3 and Battlefield 3. :)

Been considering Feedblitz, but the effort now to move away puts me off a little. RE. the sizing, are you on about the images? I find this plugin works well:

My latest conversation: What the Hell?

Dragon Blogger 228 pts

DannyBrown I use Smush.it to compress images and host them from MaxCDN, but this plugin doesn't look like it sizes images smaller, just makes sure they are aligned and set to your dimensions you have setup in media. Also I am still not getting Livefyre emails to my replies jennalanger I get no emails from any blog with Livefyre now, I never know if anyone is replying to me even though I have it setup so that I should receive an email immediately when someone replies.

I am not into the FPS shooter games as much, more of an RTS and RPG freak myself. Just got Might and Magic Heroes 6 for my Birthday 2 weeks ago.

Dragon BloggerDannyBrown Hey Justin, we are planning a fix for this, but in the mean time to go around this you can uncheck "auto-follow" here: http://www.livefyre.com/profile/edit/notifications/

If you're not following the conversation you will get emails for replies, so it circumvents the current issue that you're having. But don't worry, we'll get that fix out soon!

My latest conversation: Bringing Online Community Offline at the 20SB Summit

DannyBrown 2790 pts moderator

Dragon Bloggerjennalanger Gotcha - yeah, that's just for aligning images in an RSS feed. I have a MaxCDN account, need to get back on it (switched off a while back due to caching issues, since resolved).

And cheers for the answers, Jenna. :)

G'Day Danny,

I dunno why technology and I seem to be so incompatable!

I thought that I should tell you that I entered "my email address below" and received the following message: "this feed does not have subscriptions by email enabled."

Ah; the wonders of modern technology! So simple that only a child can operate it. More discrimination for we Celts to handle

But I'm still having fun....

Regards

Leon

DannyBrown 2790 pts moderator

Leon Hey there mate,

Sorry about that - did you try from the box in the email you received re. this post, or from the page itself? Someone emailed me about the same issue, but then sent another email to advise they'd tried subscribing via the box in the email message, as opposed to the one on this page (hope that makes sense!).

Cheers for the heads-up, I'll keep my eyes on it.

DannyBrowndanperezfilms Dan did you know that Danny has not been yet invited into our Social Media Reality Club yet? And this was the only reason he started this new blog? I say we first wait to see the content then we will have a meeting of the Executive Grand PooBah Council to discuss his possible membership, how much his monthly dues will be (if he thinks paying in old Soviet Rubles is acceptable he will be in for a shock), and what song he will have to sing at his acceptance event.

Something useful? Imagine that. I was beginning to think all social media was about was how to become a successful pimp.

DannyBrown 2790 pts moderator

dcmckee It is. We'll have a weekly pimpage. ;-)

My problem is that pimping for Wisdom is like being the ugliest guy on the corner. I can't even give it away. Is money really the only thing that counts?

Looking forward to what you have in store. Make it worth it. I've been unsubscribing to several of you popular kids lately. SOME of you aren't trying very hard anymore. (Then again, I've heard rumors of "leaked emails" that add a little weight... I laughed pretty hard on that one, btw.)
