Her presentation was about the blog conversation and social networking, her claim to fame. She cemented that fame with the number 60,317. That&#8217;s the number of comments on her blog. </p> <p>One of the points she made resounded with the participants like a bell. Many talked about it through the rest of the weekend:</p> <blockquote><p>You know, and the truth is we really can't talk without talking about ourselves whether we're talking about how we like this vase, or how we like Lorelle, or how we like WordPress. We're talking about ourselves.</p> <p>Whenever we say we're talking about ourselves, we're revealing something about ourselves. But it's how we reveal it.</p> <p>But when we ask our readers, "How'd you like this blog post we just did?" "How'd you like what I just did?" "How did you like what I just wrote?" We think we're asking them about them. But we're really asking them about ourselves.</p> <p>And we need to be really careful that we know the difference.</p></blockquote> <p>Bloggers across the room sat back and realized that their blog is all about &#8220;them&#8221; and not the reader. It&#8217;s all about, as Liz explains, asking about how we are doing rather than turning things around to put the reader first. </p> <p>Liz is the producer and founder of <a href="http://www.sobevent.com/" title="SOBCon">Successful and Outstanding Bloggers Conference (SOBCON)</a>.

I <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/strip-down-your-blog-css-naked-day/" title="CSS Naked Day">discussed this a few days ago</a> with details on how to strip naked your blog if you would like to join in the celebrations.</p> <p>By going naked, my blog stands with thousands of others who recognize and honor the hard work of web design. I honor not just those who make our blogs and sites pretty, but those who set the <a href="http://www.w3c.org/" title="World Wide Web Consortium">those who set the standards we use on the web</a> to make our sites pretty, usable, and accessible. </p> <p>I honor the web designers who &#8220;walk the walk&#8221; and volunteer their time to ensure those standards grow with the web not against. I honor web browser developers who understand the need for standards and thus work with them, also not against them, for our web browsing pleasure, helping designers design well and avoid all the hacks and customizations on a per-browser basis.</p> <p>I honor the founders of the web, the great minds who looked into the future and said, &#8220;Everyone must have access to this.&#8221; They meant <em>everyone</em>. Every person on any computer using any method to access the web. In their minds, they wanted to have people on different computer operating systems be able to share data. Today, this has stretched to include access for the blind and visually impaired, disabled, deaf, Mac user, Windows user, Linus user, cell phone, web TV, big screen, little screen, all the various methods the web is accessed so the data can flow both ways with ease.</p> <p>I also honor those who give so much of their creativity to the WordPress Community, while setting a standard in web design around the world. Thank you to all who understand that a free WordPress Theme is a resume. A business card. A portfolio of your work. By giving, you are showing the world what you are capable of. It&#8217;s a way to give back to the WordPress Community which gives so much of its time to volunteering to support WordPress through their work on WordPress Plugins, donating and writing articles for the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/" rel="tag" title="WordPress Codex - online manual for WordPress Users">WordPress Codex</a>, the online manual for WordPress Users, and volunteering their time in the <a href="http://wordpress.com/forums/" title="WordPress.com Forums">WordPress.com Forums</a> and <a href="http://www.wordpress.org/support" title="WordPress Support Forums" rel="tag">WordPress Support Forums</a> to help others. </p> <p>For those who make a living off of the free WordPress blogging platform, I honor you for giving back to that which helps you pay your rent or mortgage. The WordPress Community is a fantastic free school of education for coders, programmers, designers, writers, and hackers. Thank you for volunteering your time and skills towards the improvement of WordPress and WordPress development.</p> <h4>Honoring - and Challenging - Web Developers to Break the Last Barrier</h4> <p><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/languagebarrieregg.gif" alt="Breaking the Language Barrier" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2447" />In honor of celebrating the web designers, I also honor those who are working behind the scenes to break the last major barrier on the web: <em>language</em>. This is the year, folks, that we have to start breaking the language barrier to make the web truly accessible by all. </p> <p>Sure, there are translation programs online. They are improving in machine translations, but they are in the wrong place. It takes too much work to copy the URL or page content and take it to another page in order to generate the translation. Who wants to bother with that much fuss? </p> <p>Putting the pressure on websites and blogs to provide machine or human translations of their content is also a time waster. It puts the onus on the web owner, consuming bandwidth, database, and server access to provide translations. They do it because they know the future and want to reach out to everyone across the language divide, but we can do better. And we can do it now.</p> <p>I call out to web browser developers to start working on putting language translation - <em>instant language translation</em> - into the web browser. Yes, it will consume resources, weight down the program, but where there is a will, there is a way. No matter what you may think today, the language barrier must come down. I visualize Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Matt Mullenweg standing at the virtual web wall, each picking up a piece of stone, and shouting, &#8220;Browser Developers, tear down this wall!&#8221; Okay, so maybe not them, but it has to happen. Why can&#8217;t they be among the first to proclaim the wall must come down?</p> <p>I want to know what Sing Hio has to say in Japan on her blog. I want to read what Paulo is doing in Brazil at his favorite dance club. I want to read about the tough day Boris had at school in St. Petersburg. I want to share the love of a good book across the languages with Angelo in Mexico City. Why can&#8217;t I? Why should I be restricted by a language not my own? Why should we make them learn our language in order to communicate?</p> <p>We must break down the final barriers on the web. We&#8217;ve crossed the data barriers. We&#8217;ve embraced web standards for design. We&#8217;ve put the peer in social networking. Now it&#8217;s time to truly cross the final frontier. </p> <p>Consider yourself challenged.</p> <p><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2006/08/sig.gif" alt="" /><br /> <hr /> <p><font size="-1"><b>Site Search Tags:</b> <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=web+standards" rel="tag">web standards</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=web" rel="tag">web</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=css+naked+day" rel="tag">css naked day</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=web+design" rel="tag">web design</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=web+designers" rel="tag">web designers</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=web+developers" rel="tag">web developers</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=translation" rel="tag">translation</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=translate" rel="tag">translate</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=blog+event" rel="tag">blog event</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=events" rel="tag">events</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=holiday" rel="tag">holiday</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=language" rel="tag">language</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=language+translation" rel="tag">language translation</a> </p> <p><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/feed/" title="Feed on Lorelle on WordPress"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/rss.png" alt="Feed on Lorelle on WordPress" /></a> <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/feed/" title="Feed on Lorelle on WordPress">Subscribe</a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/LorelleOnWordpress" title="Feedburner Lorelle on WordPress Feed"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/feedburnericon.gif" alt="Feedburner icon" />Via Feedburner</a> <a href="http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=182399" title="Lorelle on WordPress -

On April 9th, 2008, hundreds, possibly thousands, of blogs and websites will go naked in honor of <a href="http://naked.dustindiaz.com/" title="CSS Naked Day">CSS Naked Day</a>. Join fellow WordPress bloggers in honoring web designers and WordPress Theme builders by going naked.</p> <p>This is the third year of the annual CSS Naked Day which honors web design and designers around the world who help make our websites and blogs look &#8220;pretty&#8221; to the eye while still being totally functional under the hood. Dustin Diaz wanted to give the web world an opportunity to remind everyone of the benefits of CSS web page design. By removing the stylesheet for the day, the world would see naked web pages, giving a little more appreciation for the skills of web page designers.</p> <p>As explained yesterday in the <a href="http://www.blogherald.com/2008/04/06/css-naked-day-on-april-9th-2008/" title="CSS Naked Day on April 9th, 2008">Blog Herald announcement of CSS Naked Day</a>, this is also an opportunity to showcase how <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2005/09/24/meet-them-benefits-of-compliance-with-web-standards/" title="Benefits of Compliance with Web Standards">usable and accessible</a> your web page structure is even without the pretty, reminding the world that it is the <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/02/27/website-accessibility-is-now-getting-serious-in-the-usa/" title="Website Accessibility is Now Getting Serious in the USA">law that your website must accessible</a> by everyone using any method to access your blog. </p> <h4>Make Your WordPress Blog Naked</h4> <p>Going naked is easy for WordPress blogs. In <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2007/04/04/lorelle-is-naked/" title="Lorelle is Naked">Lorelle is Naked</a>, I explained the various options last year on how to turn off your blog&#8217;s stylesheet using WordPress Plugins with <a href="http://www.ajalapus.com/downloads/css-naked-day/" title="WordPress Naked Day Plugin">WordPress Naked Day Plugin</a> for all WordPress versions, <a href="http://guff.szub.net/2006/04/03/css-naked-day/" title="CSS Naked Day WordPress Plugin">CSS Naked Day WordPress Plugin</a> for pre-WordPress 2x blogs, the <a href="http://www.dustindiaz.com/naked-day/#naked_function" title="Diaz created the Naked Day PHP Function script">Naked Day PHP Function script</a> for non-WordPress and PHP driven blogs, do it manually by renaming your blog&#8217;s stylesheet for the day, or removing the stylesheet temporarily on WordPress.com blogs.</p> <p>Recent versions of WordPress will automatically reset to the Default WordPress Theme if no Theme is detected, which means changing the <code>style.css</code> file will revert your Theme to the Default/Kubrick style. To override this redirection, you must use the <a href="http://www.ajalapus.com/downloads/css-naked-day/" title="WordPress Naked Day Plugin">WordPress Naked Day Plugin</a> or create a separate Theme that has no styles in the stylesheet, which I&#8217;ve prepared just for this event.</p> <p>I have stripped down the styles in the Default WordPress Theme for current versions of WordPress and pre-WordPress 2.1 versions which changed some of the sidebar tags. </p> <ol> <li>Unzip and upload the Theme version of choice to your <code>themes</code> directory. <ul> <li><a href="http://www.cameraontheroad.com/files/defaultblank2_5.zip" title="Zip file for Default Blank WordPress Theme for current versions of WordPress">Default Blank WordPress Theme for current versions of WordPress for CSS Naked Day</a> (zip)</li> <li><a href="http://www.cameraontheroad.com/files/defaultblank.zip" title="Zip file for Default Blank WordPress Theme for CSS Naked Day">Default Blank WordPress Theme for CSS Naked Day (Pre-WordPress 2.1)</a> (zip)</li> </ul> </li> <li>Activate the Theme through the Presentation or Design panel.</li> <li>Switch back to your regularly scheduled WordPress Theme on April 10.</li> </ol> <p>For those on WordPress.com, you can also participate if you are using the <a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/" title="Sandbox">Sandbox WordPress Theme</a> with the <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/08/06/wordpresscom-custom-css-all-the-styles-for-the-sandbox-theme/" title="CSS Extra">WordPress.com CSS Extra</a> feature. </p> <ol> <li>From the WordPress Administration Panels, go to <strong>Presentation &gt; Edit CSS</strong>.</li> <li>Cut ALL of the styles from your custom stylesheet and paste them into a text file. Save it with a name you will remember in a very safe place, leaving a blank stylesheet.</li> <li>Choose the option: <strong>Start from scratch and just use this</strong> to create a blank stylesheet.</li> <li>Click <strong>Save Stylesheet</strong>.</li> <li>View your WordPress.com blog and all the design elements will be gone. The layout structure will remain but it will be "naked".</li> </ol> <p><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2007/04/04/lorelle-is-naked/" title="Lorelle is Naked">Reverse the process to restore</a> your Sandbox Theme on April 10. </p> <p>Be sure and <a href="http://naked.dustindiaz.com/#signup" title="naked day signup form">sign up for the CSS Naked Day</a> so your blog will be celebrated as one of those honoring web design and designers. Last year, almost 2,000 sites signed up for CSS Naked Day. So far, the list is over 400. Let your naked stance join with others on April 9.</p> <h4>Related Articles</h4> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.blogherald.com/2007/03/30/strip-down-naked-css-day/" title="Naked CSS Day">Blog Herald - Strip Down: Naked CSS Day Instructions</a></li> <li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2007/04/28/bloggers-share-step-by-step-tips-for-increasing-blog-usability/" title="Bloggers Share Step-by-Step Tips for Increasing Blog Usability">Bloggers Share Step-by-Step Tips for Increasing Blog Usability</a></li> <li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/09/01/one-year-anniversary-review-accessibility-and-usability/" title="Accessibility and Usability">One Year Anniversary Review: Accessibility and Usability</a></li> <li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/08/12/how-do-you-know-if-a-blog-has-integrity/" title="How Do You Know If a Blog Has Integrity?">How Do You Know If a Blog Has Integrity?</a></li> <li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/03/15/creative-usability-with-wordpresscom-blogs/" title="Creative Usability with WordPress.com Blogs">Creative Usability with WordPress.com Blogs</a></li> <li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/02/27/website-accessibility-is-now-getting-serious-in-the-usa/" title="Website Accessibility is Now Getting Serious in the USA">Website Accessibility is Now Getting Serious in the USA</a></li> <li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/02/21/usability-isnt-expensive-its-practical-usability-is-useful/" title="Usability Isn't Expensive.

During that week, Scott created and released:</p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2005/03/23/plugin-easy-post-to-post-links/" title="Easy Post-to-Post Links">Easy Post-to-Post Links WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> A shortcut code for referencing onsite blog posts by id or post slug name.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2005/03/24/plugin-obfuscate-e-mail/" title="Obfuscate E-mail">Obfuscate E-mail WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> Automatically disguise emails within blog posts and Pages.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2005/03/25/plugin-never-moderate-admin-or-post-author/" title="Never Moderate Admin or Post Author">Never Moderate Admin or Post Author WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> Prevents moderation or marking as spam any comments by the site administrator, post author, or a registered user above a specified user level, no matter how spammy the comment.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2005/03/26/plugin-sync-draft-slug-and-title/" title="Sync Draft Slug and Title">Sync Draft Slug and Title WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> While the post is still in draft mode, it keeps the post slug in sync with any changes to the post title, no longer necessary with current versions of WordPress, but critical then.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2005/03/28/plugin-author-images/" title="Author Image(s)">Author Image(s) WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> Offers the feature to add an author image to the blog post.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2005/03/29/plugin-preserve-code-formatting/" title="Preserve Code Formatting">Preserve Code Formatting WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> Writing code in a WordPress blog continues to be painful, and Scott Reilly brought out one of the first code specific Plugins that preserves the formatting for text within <code>&lt;code&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;pre&gt;</code> tags to make writing code easier.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2005/03/29/plugin-notification-disabler/" title="Notification Disabler">Notification Disabler WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> Disabled email notifications about new and/or moderated comments, pingbacks, and/or trackbacks en masse or on an individual author basis, allowing customization of the email notification feature in WordPress.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2005/03/29/plugin-dynamic-text-replace/" title="Dynamic Text Replace">Dynamic Text Replace WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> Allows custom dynamic text replacement which allows you to pre-define text replacement strings which are converted to their full text value when the post is saved. For instance, if you frequently link to the WordPress Codex, you can use a shortcut for the link which will convert to the full text in a link when the post saves, saving you some keystrokes.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2005/03/30/plugin-no-duplicate-comments/" title="No Duplicate Comments">No Duplicate Comments WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> This was one of the first Plugins to battle against human and machine comment spammers by preventing duplicate comments, pingbacks, and trackbacks.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/customizable-post-listings" title="Customizable Post Listings WordPress Plugin" rel="tag">Customizable Post Listings WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> I consider this Plugin a ground breaker. Customizable Post Listings revolutionized the ways WordPress users display post and comment content on their blogs. Post and Comment information can be displayed as recent posts, related posts, by author, category, and so many ways, I had to write the <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/customizable-post-listings-wordpress-plugin/" title="Customizable Post Listings WordPress Plugin">Customizable Post Listings WordPress Plugin guide</a>, highlighting a few of the dozens of ways to use it.</li> </ul> <p>This was a major undertaking, and the WordPress Community loved these useful and powerful Plugins. Customizable Post Listings, though, became Scott&#8217;s most powerful and most desirable Plugin over the past three plus years, surviving all WordPress upgrades until just recently. </p> <p><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/postshighlighted.png" alt="Customizable Post Listings WordPress Plugin - Random Posts example" align="right" />Starting Monday, March 31, 2008, Scott began a double version of his 2005 success with <a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2008/03/30/14-days-of-plugins/" title="14 Days of WordPress Plugins">14 Days of WordPress Plugins</a>, which began with the release of the new version of <a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2008/03/31/customizable-post-listings-v30/" title="Customizable Post Listings v3.0">Customizable Post Listings v3.0</a>.</p> <p>Some of the new features in this amazingly versatile Plugin are:</p> <ul> <li>Words with WordPress 2.5 and most past versions.</li> <li>36 ways of displaying posts and comments.</li> <li>Display by Recent Posts, Recently Commented Posts, Most Recent Comments, Random Posts, Recently Modified Posts&#8230;</li> <li>Sorting by category, author, post status, date, and more by title and/or excerpt.</li> <li>54 different and more dynamic percent-substitution tags.</li> <li>Queries the taxonomy tables for relationships.</li> <li>Improved Administration Panel interface and added customization.</li> </ul> <p>But the fun doesn&#8217;t stop with the update of Customizable Post Listings. In the past week, Scott has released numerous posts, updated old Plugins, and released new ones. Here are some highlights.</p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2008/03/31/customizable-post-listings-v30/" title="Customizable Post Listings v3.0">Customizable Post Listings v3.0</a>:</strong> The newest version of this powerful and flexible Plugin for displaying posts and comments and more.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2008/04/04/safe-function-call-v10/" title="Safe Function Call v1.0">Safe Function Call v1.0</a>:</strong> Offers the ability to safely call functions not normally available from within a template, such as calling a function provided by a deactivated WordPress Plugin - great for intermediate to advanced WordPress users who like pushing the envelop with their WordPress blogs.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2008/04/04/wpuntexturize-v10/" title="wpuntexturize v1.0">wpuntexturize v1.0</a>:</strong> Prevents WordPress from displaying those annoying &#8220;smart quotes&#8221; in a blog post, those curly alternatives to straight quotes and apostrophes.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2008/04/03/custom-admin-post-listing-v11/" title="Custom Admin Post Listing v1.1">Custom Admin Post Listing v1.1</a>:</strong> Adds a feature to configure the post listing fields show in the Manage &gt; Posts Administration Panel by removing existing columns or adding columns for custom field data, giving you more functionality for custom fields.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2008/04/03/obfuscate-email-v20/" title="Obfuscate E-mail v2.0">Obfuscate E-mail v2.0</a>:</strong> The updated version of Scott&#8217;s very popular Plugin to hide email addresses from harvesters and evil-doers.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/auto-hyperlink-urls/" title="Auto-hyperlink URLs">Auto-hyperlink URLs WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> Automatically converts text hyperlinks (URLs) and email addresses that appear as plain text into links in post content and comments, if WordPress fails to convert them.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/if-file-exists/" title="If File Exists">If File Exists WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> Checks the existence of a file and returns a simple boolean state or displays an HTML snippet with information about the file.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/no-update-nag/" title="No Update Nag">No Update Nag WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> Provides the option to remove the WordPress update nag which appears at the top of all Administration Panels when a new version of WordPress is released. While most users shouldn&#8217;t remove the nag, if you are a web designer, developer, or manager and you track WordPress updates and don&#8217;t need to remind your clients of when WordPress requires updates (so they don&#8217;t nag you), this is an easy way to prevent the warning from showing on those blogs.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/archives/2008/04/01/get-custom-field-values-v25/" title="Get Custom Field Values v2.5">Get Custom Field Values v2.5</a>:</strong> This updates Scott&#8217;s popular Plugin for WordPress 2.5 and recent versions to retrieve and control the display of custom field values and meta data for posts inside or outside of the WordPress Loop. Most custom fields must appear within the WordPress Loop, and this Plugin helps break the barriers, giving a WordPress Theme designer or blog owner more options on what content goes where.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/custom-post-limits/" title="Custom Post Limits">Custom Post Limits WordPress Plugin</a>:</strong> Custom Post Limits WordPress Plugin allows customization and control of the number of posts that appear on the front page, search results, author, category, tags, archives, and more on your blog. You can customize how many posts to appear on each type of pageview.</li> </ul> <p>So far, a week into the 14 day WordPress Plugin party, Scott has released five new Plugins and updated four older ones. A few of his Plugins have been deprecated, as their features are no longer needed in current WordPress versions, but the 5 new Plugins and the ones to come over the next 7 days will definitely make up for the loss of the old ones.</p> <p>Scott Reilly is one of the most innovative WordPress Plugin authors within the WordPress Community. He goes for usefulness rather than showy Plugins, improving how WordPress works for you and not against you. He may be taking requests, so if you have an idea for a great Plugin for WordPress, stop by <a href="http://coffee2code.com/" title="Coffee2Code">Coffee2Code</a> and offer your suggests. </p> <p>If you don&#8217;t have a new idea for a WordPress Plugin, stop by anyway and cheer on this exhausting two week project of giving back to the WordPress Community. </p> <p>Scott, good luck and thank you for all the hard work you do to help us blog better with WordPress.</p> <p><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2006/08/sig.gif" alt="" /><br /> <hr /> <p><font size="-1"><b>Site Search Tags:</b> <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=wordpress+plugins" rel="tag">wordpress plugins</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=wordpress+news" rel="tag">wordpress news</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=scott+reilly" rel="tag">scott reilly</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=coffee2code" rel="tag">coffee2code</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=week+of+wordpress+plugins" rel="tag">week of wordpress plugins</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=two+weeks+of+wordpress+plugins" rel="tag">two weeks of wordpress plugins</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=customizable+post+listings" rel="tag">customizable post listings</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=wordpress+plugin+news" rel="tag">wordpress plugin news</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=wordpress+plugin+releases" rel="tag">wordpress plugin releases</a>, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/index.php?s=plugins" rel="tag">plugins</a> </p> <p><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/feed/" title="Feed on Lorelle on WordPress"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/rss.png" alt="Feed on Lorelle on WordPress" /></a> <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/feed/" title="Feed on Lorelle on WordPress">Subscribe</a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/LorelleOnWordpress" title="Feedburner Lorelle on WordPress Feed"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/feedburnericon.gif" alt="Feedburner icon" />Via Feedburner</a> <a href="http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=182399" title="Lorelle on WordPress -

Lorelle and I were together at WordCamp Dallas. While we were there, I learned and confirmed a few things that I&#8217;d like to share.</p> <p>I got home from <a href="http://dallas.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Dallas 2008</a> on Tuesday afternoon, and I&#8217;m still recovering. The event was fabulous! <a href="http://wp-community.org/category/podcast">Charles Stricklin,</a> the founder of WordCamp Dallas, and <a href="http://onemansblog.com/">John Pozadzides</a> pulled the event off with finesse and a true sense of style. Frisco, Texas will never be the same. </p> <p>The content was rich. The speakers were well chosen, well prepared, and well versed in their subjects. The participation from the community was vibrant and energetic. Every minute was packed with value, making folks comment on how glad they were that they came. You&#8217;ll find great recaps and photos at <a href="http://technosailor.com/2008/03/29/wordcamp-dallas-photos/">Technosailor</a>, <a href="http://afrison.com/wordcamp-dallas-wordpress/619/">NotaNiche.com</a>, <a href="http://www.williamedia.com/blog/archives/2008/wordcamp-dallas-2008-summed-up">Williamedia</a>, and <a href="http://papergraffiti.com/?p=537">paper graffiti</a> to name a few.</p> <p>But that&#8217;s not what tired me out. </p> <p>It&#8217;s because I was on the road with THE Lorelle. </p> <h2> 5 Tips about Surviving on the Road with Lorelle </h2> <p>Being on the road with Lorelle takes a life to a new level. I know. She and I did <a href="http://www.sobevent.com">SOBCon07</a> together. Now we just did WordCamp Dallas 2008. It took this second event for me to confirm what I learned at the first. So I&#8217;m ready to share.</p> <p>BTW, this will post long before Lorelle ever has a chance to read it. I thought you might enjoy getting to know her in a new way, from a new angle &#8212; as a travel companion and speaker-friend. Here are 5 things you should know to survive being on the road with Lorelle.</p> <ol> <li><strong>Lorelle loves everyone &#8212; not just me, not just you &#8212; everyone.</strong> I&#8217;m sorry, but it&#8217;s so. It&#8217;s a little hard to get used to at first, but once you accept it, there&#8217;s abundance enough for the universe. Could be abundance enough for a universe or two. My tip is to take it all in and smile with the joy of it.</li> <li><strong>Lorelle was made to have a microphone in her hand. </strong>She&#8217;s a natural teacher. It&#8217;s hard to find a topic Lorelle doesn&#8217;t have a story about. A life-long traveler, Lorelle is a rich store of information about the world and the people who live in it. Some of her escapades are unusual, and almost all of them are fun, especially the way she tells them. She&#8217;s great presenting information about business, coding, photography, education, or silly stories. My tip is to listen as much as you can. </li> <li><strong>Lorelle makes the Internet look slow and lazy in comparison.</strong> From the minute she rises until she shuts down, this lady is going, doing, and making things happen. I&#8217;m surprised that sleep ever finds her. My tip is to move at your own pace beside her. Keeping up is out of the question. Don&#8217;t try to be Lorelle. She&#8217;s the only one.</li> <li><strong>Lorelle loves the code, loves the language, loves the people, but can&#8217;t stand words that are misspelled.</strong> Makes her crazy, just a little bit. My tip is, if you have a spelling error in your past, to realize that you&#8217;re already busted. </li> <li><strong>Lorelle wears clothes the same color as her blog.</strong> (Bet when she saw the title of this post, she was waiting for me to say that.) She didn&#8217;t realize at SOBCon last year that she had dressed in the same shades as Lorelle on WordPress. But at WordCamp, she made it a point to bring something of the same color. I think it makes a fabulous trademark for her. She looks great in that teal shade. My tip is to let her know how nice she really does look in that color. </li> </ol> <p>Lorelle is a brilliant package of brains, heart, and gratitude all rolled up in a unique, larger than life person, who once you get to meet her, you&#8217;ll never forget. You might never get a chance to be on the road with her, but know this, the universe is better because there&#8217;s a Lorelle in it. </p> <p>I&#8217;m proud to have her as a friend.</p> <p>Next month we&#8217;ll be doing <a href="http://www.sobevent.com">SOBCon08.</a> I&#8217;ll let you know if I learn more tips while we&#8217;re there.</p> <p>What tips do you have about surviving on the Internet with Lorelle?</p> <p>&#8211; Liz Strauss<br /> Founder of <a href="http://www.sobevent. com">SOBCon</a> and author of <a href="http://www.successful-blog.com">Successful-Blog.</a></p> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/categories/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/tags/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/" /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godelicious/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/delicious/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gostumble/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/stumble/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godigg/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/digg/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/goreddit/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/reddit/lorelle.wordpress.com/2443/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lorelle.wordpress.com&blog=72&post=2443&subd=lorelle&ref=&feed=1" /></div></div> <div><a href='http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/5-tips-about-surviving-on-the-road-with-lorelle/'>Link</a> - <a href='http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/5-tips-about-surviving-on-the-road-with-lorelle/#comments'>Comments</a> - lizsun - Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:43:22 GMT - <a href='http://www.sendmerss.com/profiles.aspx/lorelle.wordpress.com/feed/'>Feed (13 subs)</a> </div> <div id='rmailTags'> <a rel='tag' href='http://www.sendmerss.com/search.aspx/Blog+Babble'>Blog Babble</a> <a rel='tag' href='http://www.sendmerss.com/search.aspx/Liz'>Liz</a> <a rel='tag' href='http://www.sendmerss.com/search.aspx/Liz+Strauss'>Liz Strauss</a> <a rel='tag' href='http://www.sendmerss.com/search.aspx/Lorelle+VanFossen'>Lorelle VanFossen</a> <a rel='tag' href='http://www.sendmerss.com/search.aspx/Lorelle-on-WordPress'>Lorelle-on-WordPress</a> <a rel='tag' href='http://www.sendmerss.com/search.aspx/WordCamp+Dallas'>WordCamp Dallas</a> </div> <blockquote><div>User comment: <a href='http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/5-tips-about-surviving-on-the-road-with-lorelle/#comment-895264'>By: William Addington</a></div><div>Lorelle's presentation was amazing and I hope she comes back next year.

I am already improving my speed at blogging thanks to her tips and always keeping your recommendations at hand when making sure I welcome people to my humble corner of the internet and all the good conversation that goes along with those introductions and new friendships. All the presenters made a great impact on all of us, thanks.</div></blockquote><a href='http://www.sendmerss.com/profiles.aspx?rss=http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/5-tips-about-surviving-on-the-road-with-lorelle/feed/'>Visit here to subscribe to these comments</a> <hr/> <div style='font-size:xx-small;'>Sent using <a href='http://www.sendmerss.com'> SendMeRss.com</a>.</div> <div style='font-size:xx-small;'>Visit <a href='http://www.sendmerss.com/add.aspx?delete=d6228adc-76d9-434f-9068-525f50211b23&amp;mailto=amdc56.GOOGLE32%40blogger.com'>here</a> to unsubscribe from <a href='http://lorelle.wordpress.com'>Lorelle on WordPress</a>.</div> <div style='font-weight: bold; font-size: smaller; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline'>Recommended Feeds/Actions</div> <div style='font-size: small; margin: 3px; font-family: sans-serif'> <a style='border-right: 1px outset; padding-right: 0.4em; border-top: 1px outset; padding-left: 0.4em; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; padding-bottom: 0pt; border-left: 1px outset; color: white; padding-top: 0pt; border-bottom: 1px outset; font-family: sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255,136,0); text-decoration: none' href='http://www.sendmerss.com/profiles.aspx?rss=http%3a%2f%2frss.msnbc.msn.com%2fid%2f3032071%2fdevice%2frss%2frss.xml'> Subscribe</a> <a href='http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032072/'>MSNBC.com: Business</a></div> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9111438067998796204-1235122567122647938?l=blogger-googlegooglegoogle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blogger Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18140968463980718619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111438067998796204.post-82505877447847269582008-03-31T00:45:00.000-07:002008-03-31T00:46:44.653-07:00<div style='font-weight:bold;'><a href='http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/whooping-woopra-blog-statistics-program/'>Whooping Woopra Blog Statistics Program</a></div><base href='http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/whooping-woopra-blog-statistics-program/'/><div><div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><a href='http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/woopra-dashboard.jpg' title='Woopra Dashboard'><img src='http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/woopra-dashboard.thumbnail.jpg' alt='Woopra Dashboard' align='right' /></a>I&#8217;m rarely totally and completely blown away by anything, and yesterday at <a href="http://dallas.wordcamp.org/" title="WordCamp Dallas at Frisco City Hall">WordCamp Dallas</a>, <a href="http://dallas.wordcamp.org/schedule/pozadzides/" title="45 Ways to Power Up Your Blog John Pozadzides">John Pozadzides</a> blew the whole crowd away with his new blog statistics program, <a href="http://www.woopra.com/" title="Woopra">Woopra</a>.</p> <p>John is a blogger, author of the popular <a href="http://onemansblog.com/" title="One Man's Blog">One Man's Blog</a>, and an experienced web user, web company owner and business man. He understands the importance blog statistics play in determining how to best serve your readers. Like me, he wasn&#8217;t happy with what was currently available. He and his partners, Elie Khoury and Jad Younan, decided to break all the rules, revolutionizing the way we think and use blog statistics. He totally blew us all away with the demo at WordCamp.</p> <p><a href='http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/woopra-landing-page-stats.jpg' title='Woopra Landing Page'><img src='http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/woopra-landing-page-stats.thumbnail.jpg' alt='Woopra Landing Page' align='left' /></a><a href="http://www.woopra.com/" title="Woopra">Woopra</a> is a live statistics program. It tells you what is happening on your blog right now, this very second. When he showed it the crowd at WordCamp Dallas, I logged onto his blog, and there on the screen, the audience saw my name pop up in Woopra. The cookie created when I commented on his blog passed on my site information, information I had already provided freely when I left a comment. Those who have not commented or registered are just shown as anonymous visitors.</p> <p>It features counts of how many are on your blog at that moment, which adjusted as we watched the screen and other audience members jumped on board. We all watched the number go from 48 to over 60 and kept growing as more and more signed on. </p> <p><img src='http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/woopra-map.jpg' alt='Woopra Visitor Map Live' align='right' />There is a listing of the basic information provided by your browser like where you are arriving from, the browser you are using, screen size, and so on, but much more. There is a live action map that shows the countries with white dots that flash like a radar signal to show the geographical location from where the visitors are on the map. When we switched to the map, we saw flashing signals from Australia, Alaska, Europe, but the collection of radar rings radiating from Dallas, Texas, was huge, showing all of us on his blog.</p> <p>While we watched, John clicked on my name on the list of visitors in Woopra and initiated a conversation with me. On my laptop, a tiny window popped up inviting me to start a conversation with him. I did not have the program installed on my computer. I agreed, and the audience watched as I responded and we &#8220;chatted&#8221; live via Woopra. </p> <p><a href='http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/woopra-start-a-chat.jpg' title='Woopra Visitor Chat Started'><img src='http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/woopra-start-a-chat.thumbnail.jpg' alt='Woopra Visitor Chat Started' align='left' /></a>This program could revolutionize the way we gather information about our visitors and interact with them. Imagine being able to communicate with your visitors without any extra software or hardware. Imagine getting information you need in a way you can really use it to focus your blog&#8217;s content to better server your readership. The possibilities are endless.</p> <p>It works on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Once you site up with a Woopra account, the admin panels allow you to add your sites and download an optional WordPress Plugin to make the process of adding the Javascript to your blog easier from the Administration Panels. If you cannot add a Plugin to your blog, or want to add the Javascript manually in a text widget or other fashion, you can choose the Manual Installation method.</p> <p>I could go on and on about <a href="http://www.woopra.com/features.jsp" title="Woopra Features">all the features</a> of this amazing and revolutionary product. I&#8217;m still learning so much about it and as I learn more, you&#8217;ll hear about it. Hosted by <a href="http://www.layeredtech.com/" title="Layered Technologies">Layered Technologies</a>, Woopra is currently in beta testing and only available by invitation. There is still some testing and sorting that has to happen, but at it stands right now, it knocked my socks off.</p> <p>It also knocked the socks off of <a href="http://onemansblog.com/2008/03/30/woopra-featured-on-geekbrief/" title="Woopra Featured on GeekBrief">Cali and Neal of GeekBrief.TV who videoed Woopra in action</a>, then <a href="http://www.geekbrief.tv/introducing-woopra-youre-gonna-want-it" title="GeekBrief.TV | Video Podcast » Archive » Introducing Woopra .

It&#8217;s been so exciting to watch!</p> <h4>No Woopra for WordPress.com Users&#8230;Yet</h4> <p>I want to use Woopra desperately here on <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/" title="Lorelle on WordPress" rel="tag">Lorelle on WordPress</a>, but I&#8217;m frustrated. WordPress.com does not allow Javascripts on the site. John has told me that there are already over 5,000 invitations from WordPress.com users, and the number is growing as we watched, but he can&#8217;t hand out the demo invitations to WordPress.com users.</p> <p>Matt Mullenweg and the Automattic team were there and appeared to be seriously impressed, so maybe we can do a little nudging to get access via WordPress.com.</p> <p>To help you nudge, I&#8217;ve added <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic.php?id=1302&amp;replies=1#post-5156">adding Woopra to WordPress.com</a> to the WordPress Ideas and a <a href="http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=25169&amp;replies=1#post-181772" title="Forum Post on WordPress.com for including Woopra access on WordPress.com">post on the WordPress.com Forum</a> on the subject for you to comment on and offer your opinions. </p> <p>Please, don&#8217;t ask me for invitations. <a href="http://www.woopra.com/members/signup.jsp" title="Sign Up for Woopra">Sign up for Woopra</a> and register your blog, even if you are on WordPress.com.

I'll check on onemansblog when it comes. I used to be one of those who don't care on stats but I think it should be part of the arsenal of tools. Traditionally, I think it's not a big deal but web2.0 has dramatically change internet from a 'presence-only' site to a more engaging community site. For marketing purposes, it sure helps in figuring out the stats.</div></blockquote> <blockquote><div>User comment: <a href='http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/whooping-woopra-blog-statistics-program/#comment-894304'>By: Jersey</a></div><div>While I can understand for certain people the importance of blog statistics, I am not one who follows regularly the number of hits my sites gets -- okay, one I check like weekly, the other I barely care about because it is a personal blog.

Hopefully a future release will include such a program and cut down the need for plug-ins. Each of the three programs has unique features that contribute to the understanding of what is occurring on your blog but does not give you an overall feel for what is occurring on your at the moment without having to review all of the text information. Having not seen this program it is difficult to say if I feel this is heading in the right direction or if I would write WordPress asking for it. Until it is available for review I am going to hold off my comment. For me I know what I need and it is not being met by the current plug-in. I would like to have a comparison by category, by day, and by page in graphical format so that I can see what is of interest to my readers. Right now Cystats along with BotTracker gives me an idea overall. However neither program gives me a feel for curren trends, long-term trends, or the ability to compare. So I am left to guess. Hopefully Word Press will release a comprehensive program that makes understanding what is occurring a lot easier.</div></blockquote> <blockquote><div>User comment: <a href='http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/whooping-woopra-blog-statistics-program/#comment-894301'>By: TheOddsTrader</a></div><div>Wow.

Many congressional offices even have one or more staffers dedicated solely to procuring earmarks.<br /><br />A year-long moratorium is a critical step forward to stopping Congress's addiction to earmarking. It will give members time to reform the process, devote more effort to critical issues, and help keep money in taxpayers' wallets instead of being diverted to Washington where it can be converted into pork. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;

Lois Capps (D-Calif.) and Devin Nunes (R-Calif) Porkers of the Month for attempting to impede the recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars in Medicare overpayments. Using Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs), private-sector auditing companies that specialize in uncovering improper payments, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has recouped $357.2 million in overpayments to Medicare providers in California, Florida, and New York since 2005. A demonstration project slated to roll out nationwide next month, the RAC audits have deterred fraud and reduced Medicare's improper payment rate, according to CMS officials. However, with their home-state hospitals objecting to having to account for $120 million in improper payments, Reps. Capps and Nunes have introduced H.R. 4105, which would place a one-year moratorium on the RAC program, blocking the nationwide rollout and essentially ending the three-state pilot project. For being more interested in kowtowing to pressure from hospitals in their districts that billed for millions they were not entitled to than in shielding the Medicare program and taxpayers from huge losses, CAGW names Reps. Capps and Nunes its February, 2008 Porkers of the Month.

From its <a href="https://www.ethics.org/about-erc/press-releases.asp?aid=1148">press release</a>:<br /><br />" Slightly less than one-third (30%) of federal workers surveyed believe their organizations have well-implemented ethics and compliance programs, which ERC has found greatly reduce the incidence of misconduct. Only one in 10 said there is, indeed, a strong ethical culture in their federal workplace. But the results were considerably less impressive at the state level (where only 14% saw strong ethics programs and a mere 7% perceive a truly ethical culture) and in local government (where the figures were 14% and 9%, respectively).<br /><br />Almost two thirds of local government employees (63%) said they observed at least one type of misconduct in the previous year. At the state level, the rate of reported misconduct was 57%, while 52% of federal workers had witnessed ethics breeches. In the aggregate, 57% of public servants surveyed had observed misconduct in the past year. There has been no improvement since ERC's last survey of government employees in 2005, and the rate is worse than that of the biennial survey in 2003.<br /><br />Local government had the highest level of workers who witnessed misconduct but did not report it – 34%.

These employees often are ill-trained for the variety of voting machines on the market today and complicated voting rules; they sometimes have to manage long voter lines; and possible problems with voter rolls or other election official snafus complicate an already under-appreciated job.<br /><br />You can help if your state still has not had primaries or caucuses, or you can wait until the upcoming November general elections to assist. Just contact your local elections office for details. Also, there are many nonprofit organizations that reform the electoral process and help voters-- you can find a list of these on this blog's left hand column.</div> <div><a href='http://www.allthingsreform.org/2008/02/under-appreciated-and-often-ill-trained.html'>Link</a> - Tue, 26 Feb 2008 00:37:32 GMT - <a href='http://www.sendmerss.com/profiles.aspx/www.allthingsreform.org/feeds/posts/default'>Feed (12 subs)</a> </div> <hr/> <div style='font-size:xx-small;'>Sent using <a href='http://www.sendmerss.com'> SendMeRss.com</a>.</div> <div style='font-size:xx-small;'>Visit <a href='http://www.sendmerss.com/add.aspx?delete=65d2e737-e032-45da-890c-0b8fd4f8948b&amp;mailto=amdc56.GOOGLE32%40blogger.com'>here</a> to unsubscribe from <a href='http://www.allthingsreform.org/'>All Things Reform</a>.</div> <div style='font-weight: bold; font-size: smaller; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline'>Recommended Feeds/Actions</div> <div style='font-size: small; margin: 3px; font-family: sans-serif'> <a style='border-right: 1px outset; padding-right: 0.4em; border-top: 1px outset; padding-left: 0.4em; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; padding-bottom: 0pt; border-left: 1px outset; color: white; padding-top: 0pt; border-bottom: 1px outset; font-family: sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255,136,0); text-decoration: none' href='http://www.sendmerss.com/profiles.aspx?rss=http%3a%2f%2frss.msnbc.msn.com%2fid%2f3036033%2fdevice%2frss%2frss.xml'> Subscribe</a> <a href='http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036034/'>MSNBC.com: Europe</a></div> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9111438067998796204-5589383009024849054?l=blogger-googlegooglegoogle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blogger Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18140968463980718619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111438067998796204.post-77387854798112175382008-02-25T10:05:00.000-08:002008-02-25T10:06:17.575-08:00<div style='font-weight:bold;'><a href='http://www.allthingsreform.org/2008/02/ask-presidential-candidates-where-they.html'>Ask the presidential candidates where they stand on reform issues</a></div><base href='http://www.allthingsreform.org/2008/02/ask-presidential-candidates-where-they.html'/><div><a href="http://www.commoncause.org/site/pp.asp?c=dkLNK1MQIwG&amp;b=189955">Common Cause</a> is forwarding a <a href="http://www.midwestdemocracynetwork.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=category&amp;layout=blog&amp;id=68&amp;Itemid=53&amp;f47f497f68198e54bd0880f4c2fd92f2=1a569b060272c97df476c370a5a3f58d">Midwest Democracy Network survey</a> to all of our major presidential candidates, asking them where they stand on some political reform issues.

I have distilled their rather byzantine presentation of their latest reports from their website onto All Things Reform's Google Notebook, entitled <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.google.com/notebook/public/14427145575860139090/BDQT7SgoQ_-7O7IQj">"<span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Feb. 24, 2008 All Things Reform blog post: Transparency International Surveys/ Indices"</span></span></a>. I focused on the United States results.<br /><p> Transparency International, the global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption, brings people together in a powerful worldwide coalition to end the devastating impact of corruption on men, women and children around the world. TI's mission is to create change towards a world free of corruption. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> Transparency International challenges the inevitability of corruption, and offers hope to its victims. Since its founding in 1993, TI has played a lead role in improving the lives of millions around the world by building momentum for the anti-corruption movement. TI raises awareness and diminishes apathy and tolerance of corruption, and devises and implements practical actions to address it. </p> <p>Transparency International is a global network including more than 90 locally established national chapters and chapters-in-formation. These bodies fight corruption in the national arena in a number of ways. They bring together relevant players from government, civil society, business and the media to promote transparency in elections, in public administration, in procurement and in business. TI's global network of chapters and contacts also use advocacy campaigns to lobby governments to implement anti-corruption reforms. </p> <p>Politically non-partisan, TI does not undertake investigations of alleged corruption or expose individual cases, but at times will work in coalition with organisations that do. </p></div> <div><a href='http://www.allthingsreform.org/2008/02/transparency-international-surveys.html'>Link</a> - Sun, 24 Feb 2008 15:51:30 GMT - <a href='http://www.sendmerss.com/profiles.aspx/www.allthingsreform.org/feeds/posts/default'>Feed (12 subs)</a> </div> <hr/> <div style='font-size:xx-small;'>Sent using <a href='http://www.sendmerss.com'> SendMeRss.com</a>.</div> <div style='font-size:xx-small;'>Visit <a href='http://www.sendmerss.com/add.aspx?delete=65d2e737-e032-45da-890c-0b8fd4f8948b&amp;mailto=amdc56.GOOGLE32%40blogger.com'>here</a> to unsubscribe from <a href='http://www.allthingsreform.org/'>All Things Reform</a>.</div> <div style='font-weight: bold; font-size: smaller; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline'>Recommended Feeds/Actions</div> <div style='font-size: small; margin: 3px; font-family: sans-serif'> <a style='border-right: 1px outset; padding-right: 0.4em; border-top: 1px outset; padding-left: 0.4em; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; padding-bottom: 0pt; border-left: 1px outset; color: white; padding-top: 0pt; border-bottom: 1px outset; font-family: sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255,136,0); text-decoration: none' href='http://www.sendmerss.com/profiles.aspx?rss=http%3a%2f%2fwww.ivillage.com%2frss%2f1%2c%2c160580419191%2c00.xml'> Subscribe</a> <a href='http://love.ivillage.com?nlcid=rmail&__source=rmail'>iVillage Love & Sex</a></div> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9111438067998796204-7615242525704589934?l=blogger-googlegooglegoogle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blogger Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18140968463980718619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111438067998796204.post-44373945430356397742008-02-21T15:39:00.001-08:002008-02-21T15:39:33.286-08:00<div style='font-weight:bold;'><a href='http://www.allthingsreform.org/2008/02/hundreds-of-servicemen-and-womens-lives.html'>Hundreds of servicemen and womens' lives lost due to mismanaged procurement of armored vehicles</a></div><base href='http://www.allthingsreform.org/2008/02/hundreds-of-servicemen-and-womens-lives.html'/><div><p>POGO has just made publicly available for the first time an <strong><a href="http://ga6.org/ct/v728akE1Rq9N/" target="_blank">internal study</a></strong>--conducted by Marine Corps science adviser Franz Gayl--showing that the Marine Corps "grossly mismanaged" Marines' requests for armored vehicles, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of U.S. servicemen and women. <br /><br />The study points to unacceptably long delays in the procurement of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAPs), which are much less susceptible to the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) being used against American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It is a powerful analysis of the influence financial contributions to them by Democratic presidential candidates Clinton and Obama is. From Capital Eye, the Center's newsletter:<br /><br /><p>" Obama, who narrowly leads in the count of pledged, "non-super" delegates, has doled out more than $698,200 to superdelegates from his political action committee, <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.asp?strID=C00409052&amp;cycle=2008%22">Hope Fund</a>, or campaign committee since 2005. Of the 82 elected officials who had announced as of Feb. 12 that their superdelegate votes would go to the Illinois senator, 35, or 43 percent of this group, have received campaign contributions from him in the 2006 or 2008 election cycles, totaling $232,200. In addition, Obama has been endorsed by 52 superdelegates who haven't held elected office recently and, therefore, didn't receive campaign contributions from him.</p> <p>Clinton does not appear to have been as openhanded. Her PAC, <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.asp?strID=C00363994&amp;cycle=2006">HILLPAC</a>, and campaign committee appear to have distributed $205,500 to superdelegates. Only 12 percent of her elected superdelegates, or 13 of 109 who have said they will back her, have received campaign contributions, totaling about $95,000 since 2005. An additional 128 unelected superdelegates support Clinton, according to a blog tracking superdelegates and their endorsements, <a href="http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegate-list.html">2008 Democratic Convention Watch</a>.
