Site Meter Free Zone

This site is SiteMeter Free. I hate the site meter. It's the worse thing since caller ID. With caller ID, how can you phone some random person and ask
"Is your refrigerator running?" and when they reply "Yes, it is" you can't say "Well you better catch it, it's running out the door!!" then giggle and hang up. Then KNOW who you are now. They can call you and ask you "Did you ever did time in the Big House? Well, don't bend over to pick up the soap" then they can giggle and hang up on you. Not that I still make prank phone calls but there is little privacy anymore. I know that nothing is annonymous, especially on the Internet. I can't talk about the president in a harmful way for fear of the NSA listening in and busting down my door (Mr Bush, you're doing a real wonderful job there my boy, I feel so safe in my bunker -in case they ARE listening to me). At first I thought the site meter was cool. It let you see where some of your visitors hailed from. Then it became an obsession. "Well why did so and so visit but not leave a comment??? What did I do to THEM???" I've done it, others do it, it's hard not to wonder. Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean people aren't stalking me. For quite a while I've had one but really not bothered to look at it because of all of the trouble I've seen it cause. When I switched to the Blogger Beta, I didn't bother to set it up again. Now I thought I'd just announce that this is a SiteMeter Free Zone so feel free to lurk and not comment. I still won't allow annon comments for fear or unknown crazies. I prefer to have only the fellow crazies I know and like visit me :-)
Feel free to copy and use the logo if you want. I stole it from SiteMeter then added the universal red circle with a line that means no to it. This is what I do in my spare time folks.

Another issue...
Betta Blogger Link Target Issue:
This may not be an issue for anyone, but it was for me and it kept me from posting my BlogRoll. I don't like to have links that take people away from my site, I'm selfish. I want you to stay ;-)
This fix will enable you to have links in the sidebar that will open in a new browser window
This is from this guy's Blog
Scroll to the line which reads a expr:href="data:link.target' blah blah blah... and append target='_blank' over there, as shown in the example below. As this piece of code is in a loop (b:loop) you need to type it only once and there you are. So go ahead and make the modification.




It's better if you go to his site and look at the example (if you REALLY care) but it's hard to paste code in a post and this jpg didn't turn out great.
Anyway, have fun folks...
