Everything I’ve read about WordPress says it’s wonderful for search engines. Techies are ecstatic. Right out of the box, WordPress is perfect. But in this avalanche of accolades, I run across little “buts.” For example, WordPress doesn’t need no stinkin’ tags. Those are from the Stone Age. So, when I found out a few days…
Why I don’t hate, Part Two
October 10, 2013
I’ve just discovered that my Extravagumbo Website is worthless, and I can’t get a response from the people who made it. I’ve spent all day trying to figure out how to write a description for my Website that will show up on search engines, but nobody can or will help me. Nobody cares. People to…
Just did a radio interview
October 9, 2013
Five minutes ago, I concluded my second radio interview. With Tron Simpson, “Tron in the Morning,” KCBR-AM 1040, Colorado Springs. “In the morning” was right. Six in the morning for me. That’s okay. I wasn’t able to sleep anyway. Very nice interviewer, perfectly understood the intent of the book, and wished me well. I wish…
My first radio interview
September 26, 2013
I just finished my first radio interview, conducted by Bobbo Brown, KNTX AM14010, in Texas. Great guy, and like me, he loves film music. His favorite film—according to his bio—is The Godfather. One of mine too. And his favorite actor is Al Pacino. If you ever get a chance, see The Devil’s Advocate, Pacino’s best…
Hella Gothic
September 24, 2013
My friend Joe Cady just saw my Website for the first time. “Hella Gothic,” was his impression. Really? I don’t think so, but I hope it attracts Goth women. It’s easy to figure out why I like that style. Bad girls, saving, being the only one who understands, naughtiness, excitement, drama, etc. But I don’t…
Interview of me
September 23, 2013
An interview of me in Blue Pacific Newspaper, Volume 19, Number 37, September 13, 2013. By Christian Vasquez. Great, friendly, interested guy. We struggled over the photo of me to use. I wish they’d gone with this one. It’s my homage to Sister Wendy Beckett. She was known as “One Take Wendy” because they would…
A heartfelt apology
September 13, 2013
The chronic slowness of my site is because my Web host is awful. I owe everybody a heartfelt apology for being a complete sucker, patsy, and nincompoop. And guess what? My publicists tell me my Web host notorious for being unable to handle WordPress. I went to this host at the recommendation of my Web…
A gateway of sorts
September 10, 2013
In my author photo, I took the lenses out of my glasses. Compare the author photo to the photo in the triptych. Tim and I wanted my eyes visible for the author photo but obscured in the triptych. Putting the lenses back into your glasses is almost impossible when you have horrible eyesight. To do…
My first act of music journalism since 2002
September 6, 2013
My first act of music journalism since 2002 was completed with Scott Thunes, of course. I enjoyed it thoroughly. An excerpt: I used to be a music journalist. It was the best job I ever had, and I loved it. Unfortunately for me, it didn’t work out. A combination of factors—mainly my own problem with…
