Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Kramer Pingbacks

This will appeal only to the technophiles; I installed a WordPress plugin yesterday called Kramer (or at Kramer) and I like it so far – one of the features is automatically to show pingbacks from Technorati, even if the originator doesn’t support pingbacks.

For 99% of you reading that, it meant absolutely nothing, so here’s the translation: when the Houston Chronicle links to one of my posts, we will all know. It’ll show up as a comment to that post, and also on that sidebar on the right under “Recent Comments.” I expect for the next few days some very old pingbacks will appear there as people read older posts – I’ve already seen some old links going back to 2004 appearing. That’ll settle down in a few days, I think.

Kewl. Nice plugin.

    I have a question to the author for later today about the Technorati pingback. When a blog links to me, I get a WordPress comment with a Technorati link, but the link is blank.

    Example post: https://chasingthewind.net/2007/03/05/once-saved-always-saved/

    Look at comment #7 at the Tehnorati icon. If you click it, it takes you to:

    http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?url=

    Which is a fairly useless page. Shouldn’t there be a website name there, either the originating post or my blog? And if so, how do I correct it?

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
