HAIF Blog Problems and Blogger Gadgets

[Pumapayam]

First issue, I was reading some HAIF blogs, and many, especially this entry, from memebag has been ruined by 400+ trackbags which clutter the area between the blog entry and comment section with porn, penis enlargement, and gambling sites. Can something be done to prevent this from tainting people's blogs?

Second, I am using Google's Blogger for my blog and last week they updated the layout to include "gadgets" which are similar to facebook applications. I already had a HAIF link on the sidebar, but if there was a way to include a HAIF gadget, like an RSS feed, that would be awesome, and another form of providing traffic to the site.

Uh, huh-huh-huh ... you said "taint".

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought I disabled trackbacks, but it looks like I disabled pings instead. I've fixed it now.

HAIF currently publishes five RSS feeds. Feel free to include any of them on your Blogger page. There's an RSS button at the bottom of every HAIF page that will provide a drop-down list of current RSS feeds. Or if you have the Safari browser they're also in the blue RSS box in your address bar.

Also, since you brought it up, it is possible for Blogger posts to be imported into a HAIF blog so that your blog gets more exposure and more Houston-centric readers. I haven't tried it before, but if you like I can look into the details for you.

Thanks for the fix, and messaged you privately regarding the rest.

Were the HAI Blogs quietly killed with little fanfare?

I was poking around, and the link is giving me an error?

The gallery died today. Or at least I didn't pay the yearly bill. Can't afford it. I don't plan to pay the yearly blog bill, either. But that should still work even though I removed the direct link. I'll look into it.
