DIY MFA: Before We Even Get Started (Part One) Stirrup Queens

DIY MFA: Before We Even Get Started (Part One) Stirrup Queens: "Enough people have asked me for this information, and since I am in the somewhat unique position from having published both a non-fiction book and a fiction book based on the strength of my blog (and…er…I guess my writing too), I thought I would set it all out here in a multi-part series for two reasons. (1) It’s good information if you have any aspirations of publishing a book and (2) I can’t write this out over and over again for each person. So now I can just send a link and be done with it.

Shall we begin with your Do-it-Yourself MFA?"

How to use password protected and private pages in WordPress | Fairy Blog Mother

How to use password protected and private pages in WordPress | Fairy Blog Mother: "interest in password protected and private pages. This is quite exciting, as it allows WordPress users to create a simple membership-only portion in their blog; somewhere where only invited readers are allowed to access and read the contents within.

I first came across this idea from another blogger, who used his e-newsletter to communicate to his followers, informing them that only they, as special members of his list,"

Tumblr Introduces Password Protected Blogs

Tumblr Introduces Password Protected Blogs: "Tumblr provides users with an option to password protect their blogs when they create a new one. Just select the checkbox next to “Password protect this blog” and provide a password for it.

You can password protect existing blogs by going to the customize page for your blog.

What We Would Like to See
This is definitely a great way for people to create private blogs and share them with only a select few, however, it would be also be nice if they could add support to password protect individual posts instead of the entire blog."

The Real Blogger Status: More Granular Security For Your Blog: "More Granular Security For Your Blog
I've been writing about Private blogs, and the ability to limit even the readership of the blog, for some time. But what if you want to have some posts accessible by a few people, and others by everybody? Or maybe you would like some of your administrators to have the ability to edit only a portion of your blog.

A content management system might provide security settings on a post by post basis, but Blogger is a blogging platform. With Blogger blogs, you can set security only on a blog by blog basis."

I realized my problem: going to Dashboard, then Edit User Profile, then "Email address," I had updated that section to my DEF email. However, once I switched that section back to the ABC email and then went through your instructions, it worked perfectly and I could use the DEF gmail! Not sure if that's helpful for others with the same problem!


If you have multiple accounts and currently is irritated by having to repetitive sign in and sign out, my suggestion is to use more than one browser as different browsers have different browser cache, meaning you can be logged in

I hope you read the rest of the post first before you remove the blog title.

Compatibility: WordPress with Blogspot- Importing Permalinks

Not everything is a problem, It is helpful to know the Parameters before importing or exporting

I am just hoping to hear some general explanation on this predicted compatibility question:

Introduction:

A)   There might indeed be a great deal of grabbing little snippets of allowable "Re-Publishing" of other people s blogs or original content. Such practices are definitely the way news or opinion is  
regularly shared on Facebook.

B) When it somes to links back to a someone else's website, that would be easily transferred but how about when transferring the images that may be selected via a link to the url where the image resides. It seems that the the image then gets re-assigned to a distinct "BlogSpot" url. Do these transfer should one decide to transfer a BlogSpot to a WordPress platform?

C) When I blog on WordPress it is very easy to create the little "blurb" summary that would get picked for example on a Facebook link, however (without a fair amount of working with cutting and pasting actual code into BlogSpot, the default merely picks up the original blog description and tells you nothing about the code. (Does BlogSpot plan an improved way to do this).

E) When I try to link a BlogSpot post on a Facebook page, the photo image used to get picked up, but now it seems this no longer works. Is there some setting on BlogSpot allowing for either a BlogSpot image (other than my profile pic) or is this somehow image placement or coding question

The Host.us Transparency; A Simple Marketing Plan. - Aharon Moshe Sanders,  June 19, 2011 6:53am

This BlogSpot creation is my simple plan to take "transparency" to new level. Often marketers seek to quietly perfect their product in the background and under the radar. The concept is to spring forth with a fully functional perfected release.



The only problem of course being that since the development has been so quietly developed in the background, no one knows about when it finally hits the market. The Web World is indeed a very crowded marketplace, and the "new kid" on the block may hardly even get noticed.

So here we have a simple design, introducing simple function will follow.
