Blog Woes

So I have been doing this for a couple months and I learn something new everyday…

I think this theme is OK - looks identical to some others but oh well - plus there’s a white strip above the graphic that I’d like to get rid of. I can’t get the views plug-in to work - and the rating plug-in never worked right, and I really liked both of them…

But I have two real big problems:

1. Broken feed using Feedburner (strange, but I don’t get any issues from Feedblitz). Anyway here’s the messed up portions, anyone know how I can fix this?

<p><!-- start insertion by YouTube Brackets, robertbuzink.nl --><span class="youtube"><object width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/_CH_iEeeAdg"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_CH_iEeeAdg" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object></span><!-- end Youtube Brackets insertion --></p>

I don’t think that one is serious - I *think* that the feed doesn’t like the youtube brackets plugin. Anyone have this problem? Do you use the youtube brackets plugin, or do you just embed?

And here’s the one that I think is the major problem:

<description><![CDATA[

I have no clue… (something tells me that it has to do with the ending bracket)

And the other major problem is that my blog won’t show up in mobile browsers - even though it says it is mobile ready… Any suggestions?

Charlie Hall’s Drummer

I am always about trying to get the drums more simplistic for worship - powerful but not busy (intentional). This video is a great example…

Cool Blog

Thanks to the tone guru, I was introduced to digital worship, a great blog. I am mainly interested in the use of drum loops and samples in worship music - and this guy does a great job teaching and sharing how he does it - amazing videos & how to’s. It’s really priceless; worship leaders - check it out.

My Desk

Well this will totally ruin my small picture motif I have going on here, but I found this great project that I want to be a part of. It’s over at thewonderfulnoise.com and it’s called “Show Your Desk”. That’s it. Oh yeah and I stumbled upon that site from theragamuffinsoul.com, which I got from my friend Bobby over at myworshiprevolution.com - quite a journey if I do say so myself. And without further adieu:

Oh yeah the quality is poor because I took them with my Q.

Open Source: Free & Legal

I just got inspired by watching a CNET video (if you don’t know what that is, you need to get with it here). This particular video had a great list of open source programs to replace the new Adobe CS3 Suite. So I thought I would be a nice guy and list out as many cool open source programs as possible, as well as other cool, fun, & productive sites & programs - a resource page! Check it out here or click on the Resource Center link at the top of the page.

The Hubble Space Telescope vs. New James Webb Space Telescope

Here’s a really interesting article on the new space telescope set to go up in 2013. Over the past couple years, I have enjoyed visiting the Hubble site and checking out all the high-res images of it’s deep space photos - they are pretty impressive. Looks like this new telescope may allows us to look even deeper into space and get a closer view of some of these incredible stars & galaxies that are billions of miles away.
