Trawlin’ the Net For News: The Dredge Report

Posted by Ms. Kathy on June 9, 2008

While looking for info on a recent political scandal in my home county (not Charleston), I discovered a wealth of SC political blogs and a social networking site devoted to user-driven newsleads. Here are some tasty samples.
FITSNews – “Conservatism with an edge” blog of Governor Sandford’s former spokesperson, Will Folks/
The Palmetto Scoop – A conservative blog run by several folks including a moose. (Click here for more info.)
South Carolina Hotline blog – the SC Hotline sites are apparently by Jeffrey Sewell
South Caroina Hotline website – Really, nice directory of SC news sites and blogs.
SC Yellow Dog Democrats – Blog of SC Democratic party members (click for their “about” info)
For news with a social networking edge on the local, national, or world level, check out NowPublic.com.

HTML Linking Codes for Photobucket Images

Posted by Ms. Kathy on December 11, 2007

1. Create a Photobucket account and upload your pictures. Resize them for your Myspace page if needed.

2. Select “Edit Profile” on your MySpace homepage

3. Copy the HTML link for the photo you want to use from Photobucket and paste it in the section of your MySpace page where you want it to appear.

4. Edit the photobucket link to remove the “href” code before the <-i-m-g section of code. (“img” means image in other words, your picture). I had to use hyphens to fool Blogger.

5. Copy and paste the code below (you must remove the hyphens, which I had to use again to fool Blogger) and insert the website address of the site you want to use where the red text is. <-a href=http://www.addressofyourchoice target=”_blank-”>

6. Test the results to make sure your image is linked by selecting to preview or save your profile section to make sure your link is correct and active. It should open up the website that you’ve linked to in a new window.

FYI: If you pay for a Photobucket account you don’t have to remove their ad link. They don’t include it on pictures they host for paid accounts.
