I have a simple question. Does joeuser.com allow scripts? I ask because I am not 100% sure on this. I have tried to add scripts such as a Retweet or Facebook counter and other types of social bookmarking buttons to my articles that start with a something like this <script but these don’t work on JU. Yet I have been successful in applying scripts that start with <a href=" such as the button you may see on some of my recent article allowing readers to share my articles on social net...

del.icio.us Tags: blog , podcast , embed I love blogging. I have been on joeuser.com for many years now (kinda wonder why I am not on the list of leading bloggers). I have been testing other blogs such as WordPress, Blogger and LiveJournal looking to expand my reach although so far none have the features I love most about joeuser.com. Looking to make my blog more interesting, I decided to try podcasting. I figured since I like to talk a lot and I feel some articles just don’t express...

Here’s an email that was sent to me just moments ago with some interesting information. Now just to be fair and clear I did not research the details of this email before posting to be sure everything it says is accurate, but I wanna believe most if not all should be somewhat accurate. What do you think? please feel free to correct any errors in the statistics. THOUGHT THIS WAS AN INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY 1909 Ford Model T - 100 years ago 1909 Ford Model T. THE...

I found this really cool website called cooltext.com that can create images of text that you write with really cool designed and animations. The following are a few examples. This one is my blog site with a 3D outline look: I think it looks pretty cool in 3D. This next one has an alien glow: The alien glow is pretty cool. This one has a burning effect, the animation is quite realistic (in my opinion): These all are preset images where you can just change ...

In my quest to spread the word on my blog and this site, I have been doing some research on what sites were good for getting my stuff put out there. There are great places such as digg.com and reddit.com where you can share websites and blogs you find, there are also facebook and twitter where you can post links to your own blog. But I wanted a way to not only get them to my blog, but also to share it with others. While trying to get my Windows Live Writer program to work on my charles.joe...

I seem to have lots of issues posting stuff, such as videos, polls and even buttons that are based on scripts. Is JU blocked from using scripts? I can’t seem to figure out how to use it if it’s not. Thank you.

Am wondering if anyone here on Joeuser.com has a blog somewhere else. While I like joeuser.com I am really looking to expand my reach to the masses but am having difficulty understanding certain things. I have been looking for a good blog site to share my articles but there are so many options I am having difficulty choosing. My main problem is somethings joeuser has that I can't find on some of these blogs. When ever I post a blog on JU, it shows on the main page and if I am lucky I get feat...

Just like a fellow JU member was inspired to write an article as a response to a debate on another article, I find myself in the same position about an interesting section of his comments and my response. I like posting the definition of words in my blog in case any doubt of the meanings come to play in the discussion so here they are: Stupidity - a poor ability to understand or to profit from experience Ignorance - the lack of knowledge or education As you can see the difference...

Are you one of those people who spent a life time and a fortune building your incredible DVD collection of movies only to be stuck with a DVD player these days while your friends enjoy the incredible quality of HD movies on their HD TVs because it's just to darn expensive to buy blue-ray movies especially when you already have the movie on DVD? Don't feel so bad, Warner Brothers has the solution for you and you won't even have to put a second morgage on your house or sell your laptop at the p...

I was wondering if the joeuser.com administration has considered the idea of adding facebook and twitter links on joeuser.com? I have seen site where you click on a facebook or twitter icon and it can link the page on your facebook or twitter account to share the page. Is this something that has been considered? Is it a feature that might be added to JU someday? Or is this not worth adding or tooo much hassle? Just wondering? I'm curious about this since its very common on websites these days...

Can someone help explain how to post a picture to come out a specific size on JU without having to go into the "insert image" feature on JU every time? I am looking to put a signature on my articles with and image but the image is a bit big and would like to resize it when posting but would like to avoid having to go into the edit button to do it every time I post an article. Although I guess making the image smaller might be easier but if there is a solution to post the image and resize it in t...

I'm a big fan of revision3.com 's show Tekzilla. One of my favorite sections of this show is "a website we just can't get enough of" where they point out sites they consider "too useful, too funny or too darn irresistible". On a past episode they pointed out a site I found quite interesting. www.instantjury.com This site is pretty interesting. By signing up you get a site that works like a court system that allows you to post your argument as a plaintiff or a defendant. You can even add...

Do you believe most people here in America are stupid? The Gov't seems to think so. As the years and decades have gone by our Gov't has made it their business to relieve us from the burden of our stupidity. How? Well, every time the Gov't passes a law that basically takes the responsibility away from the people it's just a way of saying "you are not smart enough to do this yourself so we will do it for you". Now, I can accept certain situations where some people may need some help, but I can't h...

I was suprised to see how one of my articles was featured on joeuser.com within a minute or 2 from posting it. Heck, it was there just as I refreshed the page after posting. It's kinda cool in my opinion to have it featured, but I have noticed how being featured is no longer a big thing around here. I remember when people would make comments saying things like "congrats on the feature" and posting smileys like as well. But you don't see this happen anymore, not sure why. I also noticed people...
