Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment
14 January 2008During Ronald Reagan’s 1966 campaign for governor of California, Republicans established the so-called Eleventh Commandment: “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”
It was proposed by State Republican Chairman Gaylord Parkinson to help prevent a repeat of the liberal Republican assault on Barry Goldwater that laid the foundation for Goldwater’s trouncing in the 1964 [...]
Mil Blogger Dies in Iraq
8 January 2008Today I learned that a great mil blogger was killed in Iraq. Andrew (Andy) Olmsted was a Major in the Army stationed in Iraq. He was killed on January 3rd, along with Cpt. Yom Casey while attempting talk three suspected insurgents into surrendering. Both were victims of sniper fire.
Andy wrote a blog [...]
TTLB Round Two
25 August 2007A while back, after much complaining without a response, I elected to remove the TTLB ecosystem code from my site. It wasn’t working or updating properly and all support requests went unanswered. So I replaced the TTLB code with a little snippet that indicated how whacked out TTLB had become.
Just yesterday I received an email [...]
Testing bbPress
30 July 2007This is a little tricky but I seem to be making progress. I hope this is the last test.
UPDATE:
It works! bbPress integration has been successfully implemented at Ron’s Musings!
Give it a try. Click on the Discuss in forum link below to go to the forum. That link was created automatically along with the forum thread [...]
Trying Something New
29 July 2007I’ve been searching for a solution that will allow me to integrate a message board into the blog. What I want is for comments to be handled by the message board as well as other discussion taking place there. Until now I’ve found very little.
But today I found bbPress. bbPress is a message board pretty [...]
TTLB Issues?
18 July 2007Does anyone know what’s going on with the Truth Laid Bear? There are errors all over the site and stats haven’t been updated in weeks. As well, it seems that no support requests are being responded to. I know this is the case on at least a dozen blogs.
TTLB has been a defacto rating standard [...]
Conservative Post Promotion
3 July 2007I’m in a number of online groups at Google, Yahoo and MSN. One of those is a group of conservative bloggers and some of us like to promote our posts within the group. I’ve done it and I’ve pretty consistently helped promote the posts of the other bloggers in the group. The activity was lovingly [...]
Universitas Veritas Blog
21 June 2007Regular readers of this blog are aware of the sometime struggle I’ve had trying to balance politics and my Christian outlook or worldview. I’ve at times tried to make this blog something it never was intended to be and the result was always that I came right back to pure politics.
My solution comes in the [...]
Blog Move Complete
17 June 2007The blog move has been successfully completed. All files appear to be working properly, the database pulls up all my old posts and I can find nothing misbehaving. All seems well. So, I’ve gone ahead and pointed www.rongoodwyne.com back here to www.ronsmusings.com. That allowed me to make corrections to my blog email MX record. The [...]
Blog Move Update
16 June 2007It appears the blog is moved. As far as I can tell at this moment, everything has been moved over and works. I’ll wait until probably this evening before I forward www.rongoodwyne.com here. In the mean time, if you go to www.rongoodwyne.com, you will not be able to post comments. That keeps me from having [...]
