Putting an end to creepy emails!
Spend enough time wading through spam emails and you'll be amazed at what you find. From dodgy salutations to cringe-worthy formatting, on a very slow day this makes for a good few minutes of entertainment.
Here are some of the most 'creepy' elements of bad email-ship:
Over personalisation
Why it's done & why it sucks:
This is usually an attempt at making a company look uber-friendly, since the emails they send you are formatted like a buddy would send them.
The downside is that sometimes we sign up with nick-names, tags or misspellings which can quickly turn a harmless greeting into a spammy annoyance. Seeing "Happy Birthday JaneDoe101!" or "JaneDoe101 we miss you!" littering up your mailbox is usually the first step on the way to an unsubscribe!
Archaic greetings
Why it's done & why it sucks:
"Dear Sir/Madam" or "To whom this may concern" are clear-cut indicators of cold calling (or cold mailing) – sure they're gender neutral but boy are they impersonal. They scream "Someone, anyone – please read me!" rather than seeming relevant to the recipient.
Too many imperatives
Why it's done & why it sucks:
It's true that the call-to action is a huge part of the science behind a smooth conversion, so putting in punchy phrases like "click here!" and "buy now!" seem standard procedure, but there is such a thing of over-doing it.
Ultimately, I don't want bossy emails, and legally anything being sold is an 'invitation to treat' so in your next sales email, try the passive approach with an A/B test to see what gains a better reaction.
Too long
Why it's done & why it sucks:
It's been a while and there's a lot to say, but how long do you think I've got? People are time conscious, say less!
If you need to explain something a nifty way of doing so is by linking back to a blog post published on your website. Not only is this considerate of your customers, it's also potential for indirect conversions; they may just browse other parts of your website…
And in taking my own advice, I'll keep this short and sweet – but feel free to add any other examples you can think of in our vowel to make electronic mail, sustainable!

How to Check a Link is Live (and Scrape It's Anchor Text) Using Google Docs
I've been using Google Docs to keep track of links built to client sites and to track the progress of any link removal work. Occasionally I've noticed links have either been removed, the linking page no longer exists, or the links reported in that incredibly useless 'sample link report' are wrong. As SEOs/link builders/content marketers/inbound marketers/digital ninjas (select/insert your choice of title here) this is something you'll want to check from time to time.
Whilst tools like ScreamingFrog are great for this sort of thing, sometimes you might want the convenience of checking this within Google Docs:
This lovely little formula grabs the lowercase anchor text of the first link containing 'www.datadial.net' of the URL in cell A1.
Very handy!
Searchmetrics is a brilliant SEO tool, the amount of insight that it gives on client and competitor sites is incredibly useful. One of my favourite reports, along with some manipulation in Excel is to run a quick rankings comparison report on your competitors so you can gain insight into what they're ranking for, more importantly what they're ranking for and you're not, and also how your site matches-up a full range of industry keywords.
For this sample report I'm going to take a look at some of the bigger sites in the insurance sector.
Other good insurance companies do exist, along with quite a few terrible ones.
Run each domain through Searchmetrics and run a long-tail keyword report on each of the sites that you wish to compare.
Export and download each of these reports.
In Excel create different sheets for each of the exports along with the first sheet which should be named 'comparison' this is where all of the magic happens and your data will be pulled-in.
Paste each sites data into onto it's own sheet, as well as cumulatively into the 'comparison' sheet.
Then under Data > Remove Duplicates remove duplicated keywords on the 'comparison' sheet.
Then delete the following columns in the 'comparison' sheet – URL, Pos, Title, and Traffic Index. This should leave just Keyword, Search Volume and CPC.
Next add columns for each of the sites that you wish to compare. This should leave you with a sheet that looks something like this.
Then, using VLOOKUP you'll need to pull the ranking data from the other sheets into the comparison sheet. So for example into Column C all of the rankings for Aviva will appear.
The formula you'll need is =VLOOKUP(A:A,Aviva!A:G,3,0) The easiest way to generate this is to use the insert formula function,
Lookup value – Is the value that you're looking up, in this case is column A, the keyword.
Table array – is the table you're finding the value in, which is the Aviva sheet, so click in the table array entry field, then go to the Aviva sheet and highlight all of the columns.
Col index num – is the column with the data in that you wish to import, so column 3, the ranking position.
Range lookup – Enter FALSE or 0 here to find an exact match. This will cause #N/A to be returned if the site isn't ranking for the keyword.
Repeat this for each site. And then expand the selection by dragging the corner of the box down to apply to each of the cells in the sheet.
Tidy the sheet up by formatting as a table, and (hopefully) you should have something that looks like this.
If the #N/A results are annoying you can easily remove them by modifying the VLOOKUP formular from
You can also colour-code the rankings using conditional formatting.

The 3 Options for Making Your Website Mobile and a 4th.
All of the briefs we've received this year have included a request for a 'mobile version' of the proposed new site.
But what does this mean? And do I hear the creak of an overloaded bandwagon?
Just as 2011-12 was the year of the Social Strategy [with no specification as to what that actually means], 2013 is fast becoming the year of the Mobile Site.
Yes, it's true that mobile use is increasing:
Source Monetate E-Commerce Quarterly.
But how should you respond?
People could be accessing your website from any number of devices (such as phones (of all shapes and sizes), tablets (of all shapes and sizes) and even smart TVs (of all shapes and sizes). So, as a website owner, you shouldn't be asking whether you should be considering mobile options, you should be asking which mobile options to consider – or shock-horror, opting to do nothing.
So there are 4 main options available to you. Each has its pros and cons, so let's get the run-down:
#1 Responsive Web Design
What is it?
In a nutshell, this is designing your site so that its layout responds to the device on which it is being displayed..
– Streamlined: The site is hosted on the same domain and uses the same URL so there are no SEO issues or redirecting issues.
– Consistent with Desktop Content: The same content is just presented in a different layout.
– Low Maintenance Cost: Although initial build costs may be slightly higher, the cost of maintenance and updating should be lower (as you are only maintaining one site).
– Slower Loading Times – If you are adapting an old site to a responsive site you may find that it is not fully optimised for mobile and is slow to load. However, if you are building a new site and taking a 'Mobile First' approach, this shouldn't be a problem. But 3G and 4G coverage remains sporadic and unstable – so some content may take time to download.
– General Usability – Mobile users will generally have a goal in mind when accessing a website. Whether it's buying, reading or checking-in, they may not want to go through the same process as a desktop user. They may expect a stripped down version of the site similar to an App.
– Lack of Mobile Features – You won't be able to get the same level of integration from a responsive site – features such as camera, photos or calendars.
– Lack of Zoom - if you are used to pinching and zooming into websites on mobile in order to be able to read the tiny text then you will not be able to on a responsive website.
Whether or not to go responsive divides opinion. We've been experimenting on our own site with responsive design and generally prefer the regular layout, when viewing on an Iphone. But all sites and companies are different and user needs should be a chief consideration.
#2 Dedicated Mobile Site
What is it?
Dedicated mobile sites are purpose built versions of the original website which are hosted at a new domain address (usually by adding 'm' before or after the original address: m.tesco.com or www.argos.co.uk/m/.
The web server normally recognises which device is being used and serves (delivers) the appropriate site to display.
– Different Content – A site purpose-built for mobile will usually have features which can load more quickly on mobile platforms, and you can dispense with some of the superfluous elements found on the desktop version.
– Speedy Development – Compared with alternatives, a mobile site can be built relatively easily. This is less labour-intensive and subsequently less costly than other mobile options.
– Mobile-Focussed – Development for the mobile platform means that navigation and usability are friendlier for mobile users.
– Slower Service – Redirection from main sites to mobile sites takes time. It may only be seconds, but it still damages the overall user experience.
– Double Maintenance – Essentially two sites need to be managed; adding new functionality would need to be done twice.
– SEO Issues – Since the content (and therefore the traffic) is split across two URLs, there's the chance that your overall SEO will suffer. However, there are ways around this which I'll outline later in this article.
We built a mobile shop-page for an automotive client. The desktop site's main focus is selling car parts, so we stripped it down to the essentials to make it easy for mobile users.
#3 Mobile Apps
What are they?
Apps are programs that are saved to the device. They're relatively small (compared with full websites) and they tend to serve one function (reading articles, shopping, checking-in). They can be a useful way to allow mobile users to access one of your site's main utilities, or to promote your brand (with a game or similar App).
– Completely Mobile Friendly - Apps have the distinction of being native to the device, so they can access and utilize any of the phone's capabilities (Camera, Calendar, Maps etc).
– Offline Options – While some Apps require the internet to function fully (social platforms), many others can operate offline, or cache data when an internet connection is available ready for when one isn't.
– Quicker Loading Times – Since the App is self-contained, loading times should be quicker. Of course this depends on (and is limited by) the device's memory and processor power.
– Push Notifications - Apps have the ability to update you with the things you need to know. Such as when you receive a new friend request on Facebook, or when you're near a public toilet.
– No Cross-Functionality – Apps are made for specific platforms. iOS Apps will work on iphone or ipad, but will not be usable by Windows devices – or any non-Apple devices for that matter. This means Apps must be developed for each platform, which is expensive.
– Updates – Apps need to be constantly updated and tweaked. This is in terms of both user-feedback and changes to the device. This can be time-consuming and costly.
– Downloading – Apps have to be downloaded for use. Success in the App world may require considerable marketing and promotion.
We've applied appropriate aptitude to developing an App for a company that focusses on standardised testing. The App allows mobile users to practice the tests wherever they are.
The 4th Option
So those are your three options regarding adapting to mobile. There is of course a fourth option and that is that of doing nothing. Most website operate perfectly satisfactorily on mobile and indeed users who know your site will welcome the fact they do not need to relearn where everything is on the page and the new navigation options. This is a strong argument for keeping the status-quo which is not receiving enough credence now that the dash for "mobile first" has been triggered in marketing departments.
So in conclusion beware of the bandwagon, think about the implications before you jump. If someone says "Mobile first" to you ask them what they actually mean and what they want to achieve.
If you would like any more information, please get in touch.
And as a special thank you for reading this far, I'll now present a guide on how to optimise mobile sites for SEO in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet:
You've built two sites; one desktop, one mobile,
But now you're concerned that your traffic's split,
And now you've come to visit Datadial,
To fix your SEO a little bit.
There are two points that must be mentioned here,
Two tags to put in your HTML,
(On each version of the page – let's be clear)
They are two tags, and they both start with 'Rel'.
Rel="alternate" on the desktop
Make sure it points to the mobile and all…
And pointing back, just so it doesn't flop
On mobile: Rel="canonical"
But other things cannot be avoided.
Like linking to mobile, just like I did:
So basically add some links in the HTML of each page that look like this:
Desktop: <link rel="alternate" href="http://m.example.com/page-example">
Mobile: <link rel="canonical" href=http://example.com/page-example>

What Can Cognitive Science Teach us about Outreach?
Over the past few decades, businesses which engage in advertising, PR and marketing have increasingly turned to research in the cognitive sciences to inform their decision making. The hope is that greater insight into the psyche of the consumer will ultimately lead to more profit. In recent years, the rapidly developing field of neuroscience has come to the fore with organisations as diverse as PepsiCo, Intel, CBS, eBay and ESPN utilising 'neuromarketing' company NeuroFocus to test for various physiological and cognitive responses to commercials, branding and products.
There is a straightforward reason for making use of such complex science:
We need some understanding of who and what we are communicating with, if we want to have any hope of them understanding us. This is why it is worthwhile incorporating an understanding of cognitive science, whether psychological, philosophical or neuroscientific, into an outreach strategy. Even a cursory glance over the cognitive science page of Wikipedia will reveal that our gut instinct about both ourselves and others is more often than not, flat out wrong. A good outreacher needs to dig a little deeper.
Classic Study: Behaviourism – Skinner and the Rat
Psychologist B.F. Skinner devoted the bulk of his career to the understanding of human behaviour. Perhaps his greatest contribution to cognitive science was his theory of operant conditioning, which holds that behaviours can be learnt on the basis of positive or negative reinforcement.
Skinner demonstrated his theory with a device known as the 'Skinner Box', which featured little more than a small container, a hungry rat and a selection of levers. When pressed, one of the levers would release a small pellet of food. Quickly the rat learnt to only press this lever if it wanted to get what it desired. Reinforced by the reward of food, the rat would readily repeat this action over and over again.
But what does this tell us about outreach?
It tells us that well-rewarded behaviour will be repeated. For example, if a journalist has posted an infographic before, had good results, then they are likely to do it again. They know the operation and realise the benefits. This factor of repeatability means that outreach is more scalable.
However, this is not to say that we shouldn't outreach to those who have never posted infographics before. It took Skinner's rat some time to understand the process, but once the behaviour is learnt, it is likely to be repeated. This is where persuasion and information kicks in. We wouldn't dream of entrapping potential clients in a cage to reap some reward: in the rat's case this was a bag of food, in our case it will be the prospect of driving traffic and awareness towards their website, or just spreading the joy of infographics. Our positive reinforcement will be much harder to enforce. So we have to provide examples of previous successes, as well as building trust to get clients pressing the lever for content again and again.
Wisdom of the Ancients: Emotion and Reason
In the great philosopher Plato's famous analogy of the soul, emotion was two horses pulling a charioteer, reason, in opposing directions. The harmonious soul would be able to keep both emotion and reason in balance. A strong outreach strategy should have a similar aim.
- Marketers must be able to reassure the logical characteristics in consumers. A tug-at-the-heartstrings ploy may go over some peoples' heads, or worse still, invite cynicism.
How does this relate to outreach?
- While using emotional hooks is important for content you can't rely on it for all methods of outreach.
- Know your market. Some markets will not mind their emotions being pandered to whereas others will see this as little more than fluff, prizing 'the facts' much more highly.
A more integrated approach between the emotional and the rational will maximise the effectiveness of the outreach.
Recent Study: Optimism Bias and the Effort of Rejection
Optimism Bias:- Research into human decision-making suggests that humans are naturally hard-wired to believe.
It requires greater cognitive resources to question an assumption. It is more effective to believe something than to reject it. By nature, we are trusting. This is why big institutions, popular brands and institutions are built on popular belief and trust. To constantly test and question stimuli would be too draining on our cognitive resources.
How is this applicable to outreach?
- Spend time outreaching to larger influencers. Your content/image/post/media will have greater longevity and far reaching effects- people trust household names.
- Engage in an initial conversation to build the relationship, assuring and informing your outreach target. Eventually, once the aims have been met, it will be far less likely that your request will be denied due to the cognitive efforts of rejection on the receiver's part.
- Have a full proof strategy, that way you are prepared to respond to any queries.
- This can also be applied to persuasion, turning a 'no' into a 'yes'. It's like a mental tug of war, making the effort of rejection even more exhausting.
To Conclude:-
- Well-rewarded behaviour will be repeated.
- Emotion and reason come hand-in-hand. A conclusion (logic) usually results in an action (emotional impulse).
- Determine the market before taking the plunge, whether a more emotive or logical method should be applied.
- Have a full proof outreach POA so that any queries can be met with total reassurance, making rejection less probable.
- Use other brands and institutions where possible to enhance your own content.

The awesome people at the Movoto Real Estate blog do a lot of nerdy real estate calculations. In other words, they determine how much fictional mansions, castles, and buildings would be worth if they were real. Earlier in the month, they calculated that Princess Peach's castle from Super Mario 64 would be worth roughly one billion dollars ($950,972,940). And the location would be Oslo, Norway. Check out the post to see a moar in-depth review on how they came up with the price. A few other cool places they've calculated cost of include:
World of Warcraft's Grommash Hold – $3,265,608
Superman's Fortress of Solitude – $814 trillion
World of Warcraft's Stormwind Keep – $10,293,472
Resident Evil's Spencer Mansion – $1,751,625
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's Hyrule Caste – $113,807,400
Tony Stark's Mansion – $117,250,000
Howl's Moving Castle – $5,126,000

One Response to "Princess Peach's Castle Is Worth Nearly One Billion Dollars"
[…] Once again, the folks over at the Movoto Real Estate blog have come up with another great calculation, this time of the X-Men mansion. According to them, the fictional mansion located in Westchester, NY is worth $58,180,386. So moar than Wayne Manor and less than Tony Stark's mansion. And much less than the Fortress of Solitude. Check out the detailed breakdown here. Also check out the previous post we did about Movoto: Princess Peach's castle. […]

Steve Price spent his 20-year Air Force career training dogs for scent detection. Now as the founder of Scent Detection International, he has trained more than 60 dogs that have been put to work across the globe. His five-day training program takes canines across 2 acres. That's where he teaches them to detect scents including mold, drugs, explosives, and pirated videos. Steve also conducts drug inspections in homes and businesses that rout out illegal substances, helping clients detect if their loved ones are using illicit drugs.
Pawsh Pet Resort and Spa was designed from a pet's perspective to provide its furry visitants with homely comforts amid a safe, fun, and personalized environment. The facility is managed by Holly Kierski, whose credentials for the job include certifications in pet CPR, first aid, and as a bark-to-English translator. Holly heads a staff of professionals that supervise all of Pawsh's day-to-day activities, ranging from exercise-packed daycare services to upscale boarding options, some of which feature password-protected webcams so traveling owners can peek in on their canine or kitty. Meanwhile, on the spa side of Pawsh, professionally trained groomers spruce up shaggy styles, and outside the facility, Pawsh employees jet off to clients' houses for in-home sitting of more exotic pets, such as horses, birds, and freeloading cousins.
The veterinarians and veterinary technicians of Seven Oaks Pet Hospital coddle cats, dogs, and rabbits and other small mammals under the close supervision of Dunkin, the clinic's resident kitty. In addition to regular wellness exams and vaccines, the pet hospital offers dental and surgical care, pain management, and microchipping so you'll know when your teenage bulldog breaks curfew. For furry friends that need a little extra TLC, they also offer holistic medicine and behavioral medicine.
The seasoned technicians at Sams Gas efficiently refill 20-pound propane tanks, perfectly designed for gas grills. Whether customers own their own propane reservoirs or buy one from Sams, a technician will fill it to the brim with fresh-from-the-farm propane gas, lauded for being nontoxic and having minimal effect on the environment or the indigenous dryer-sheet trees that spring up in lint filters.
Most pet owners consider their furry friends to be full members of the family, with privileges that meet or exceed those of their human roommates. With that in mind, it's understandable that some people would reject the one-size-fits-all approach to veterinary medicine. Licensed vet Dr. Deanna DeVuyst certainly understands. That's why she started Home Healing Animal Clinic, LLC, a mobile practice that delivers holistic treatments to pets during old-fashioned house calls. Whether she's redirecting animal energy during acupuncture treatments or mixing up a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, Dr. DeVuyst keeps her patients comfortable and relaxed. In addition to dogs and cats, Dr. DeVuyst also heals horses with equine acupuncture treatments.
The skilled staff—a veritable dream team of medical know-how—shepherds clients toward improved health by designing and leading custom weight-loss, nutrition, and fitness programs. Spread across four locations, the practice tailors comprehensive programs. Doctors, personal trainers, nutritionists, and artists who draw kettlebells onto clients' portraits to make them appear fit pool their disciplines to blast away excess pounds with methods birthed from the mind of science itself. Vitamin and amino-acid injections, ketone strips, appetite suppressants, and supplements are part of the weight loss program. Bio-identical hormones characterize the hormone-therapy program, which seeks to restore bodily balance more effectively than replacing legs with gyroscopes.

WASHINGTON — Opponents of I-522, a measure on Washington state ballots to require labeling for food and beverage products with bioengineered ingredients, are declaring victory based on early results from the Nov. 5 election, but supporters of the initiative still await the final tally.
As of late Nov. 5, the vote was 54.8% against labeling and 45.2% in favor.
The Grocery Manufacturers Association (G.M.A.), a contributor to the state-record $22 million "No on 522" campaign, said the proposal would have misled consumers and raised food costs for Washington families.
"Genetically modified food ingredients are safe, good for the environment, reduce the cost of food and help feed a growing global population of seven billion," said Pamela Bailey, president and chief executive officer of G.M.A. "Because a 50-state patchwork of G.M.O. labeling laws would be confusing and costly to consumers, G.M.A. will advocate for a federal solution that will protect consumers by ensuring that the F.D.A., America's leading food safety authority, sets national standards for the safety and labeling of products made with G.M.O. ingredients. Our country's labeling laws have been and should continue to be based on health, safety and nutritional content."
Had I-522 passed, Washington would have become the first state to implement labeling of bioengineered foods.
Earlier this year, G.M.A. launched www.FactsAboutGMOs.org, a web site defending the use of bioengineered ingredients by addressing questions regarding their safety, prevalence and benefits.
"We will continue to oppose individual state efforts to impose mandatory labeling of products made with G.M.O. technology, as well as advocate for the safe and effective use of this important technology to increase the food supply while lowering cost," Ms. Bailey said. "And we will continue to engage in an informative dialogue with our consumers on the safety, prevalence and benefits of that technology."
Supporters of the measure, however, insist results from the mail-in election are still too close to call.

Apathy - Be a Better Man
Artist: Apathy
Featuring: Bishop Lamont
Producer: Apathy
Album: Fire Walk With Me
Avg Rating: 4.6 ( 27 votes )
With a name like "Apathy," you'd think self-improvement would be the last thing on the Connecticut underground mainstay's agenda. As he reveals on his latest single, however, he's anything but indifferent when it comes to the state of his soul—in fact, he's been working overtime to Be a Better Man. Over his own melancholy production, the artist chronicles his struggles to bring his lifestyle in line with his principles. Bishop Lamont and Wu-Tang affiliate Blue Raspberry do a little soul-searching of their own on the guest tip. This joint is set for inclusion on Apathy's Fire Walk With Me LP, set to drop along with demo collection The Alien Tongue on 9/11. Click here to pre-order both projects, and receive a limited edition T-Shirt package in the bargain.

Vista's security may be too tight for some Web sites and finding help isn't easy
Summary: Yesterday, in a post about whether desktop operating systems will matter in 2010 (when the next version of Windows (codenamed "Seven") is scheduled to ship, I mentioned how Internet Explorer 7 (the default in Windows Vista) is like putting a chastity belt on a browser. Using Firefox is one potential work around.
Yesterday, in a post about whether desktop operating systems will matter in 2010 (when the next version of Windows (codenamed "Seven") is scheduled to ship, I mentioned how Internet Explorer 7 (the default in Windows Vista) is like putting a chastity belt on a browser. Using Firefox is one potential work around. But not all sites work with Firefox. One non-Firefox-supporting case in point that has really brought IE7's overzealous security settings to roost in our home is Kodak's online photo gallery (formerly ophoto.com). 'I followed Kodak's step-by-step and it worked for the administrative user. But not for the standard user.' My wife, for whom I just purchased a new PC that came preinstalled with Vista, is a big user of Kodak's gallery. Like other photosharing sites, you can download some software that makes it easier and faster to do bulk uploads of photos. She had no problem doing this in XP. But, until today, I was able to get it to work in Vista with IE7.
Before I handed the computer to her, I set her up as a standard (non-administrative user) on the system. So far, the number of things haven't worked for her standard account the way they used to in XP/IE6 has been a major tax on my time. She tried to download some software from Kodak's Web site. It wouldn't download. Why? I couldn't tell at first. But it's apparently related to another problem her account is having: it can't access IE7's Internet Options. Not even to change something as simple as the browser's start page. When I tried this, nothing would happen. My gut instinct tells me to login as an administrator, but once there, I have no idea how to fix the Internet Options for another standard user on the same system.
Until today, it was vicious cycle. Everytime she'd try something for the first, time, it's "Daaaaaaavid!" It's clearly VERY secure. But maybe too much so.
When something doesn't work the way Kodak's software didn't work, there may be no telling why. I see a visual cue in IE7 that says "Internet Protected Mode: On" and I wonder if by turning it off, if some of her problems will go away. As any kind of user (standard or administrative), not only is Windows/IE absent of any useful information about what this mode is for, it doesn't work right. If I dive into IE's settings, it offers me the opportunity to turn the protected mode on when, in the status bar, it indicates that it already is on. Shoddy design.
Eventually, I gave up. She was all excited about getting the new computer (a Lenovo Thinkpad). Only to learn that she can't do the one thing (upload photos) that she does more of than anything else (non work-related). A door stop would have been just as good. Not to mention how bad this is for marital relations in the Berlind household.
A few weeks back, I bumped into the fine folks from Kodak during a gadgetfest in New York City. I asked for help. That help finally arrived in my e-mail a couple of weeks ago and included the following steps:
- Open one Internet Explorer window. Close all other Internet Explorer windows.
- Navigate to any website other than the Gallery (eg: www.google.com).
- Click on Tools | Internet Options.
- On the General Tab, click on Delete under Browsing history.
- Click on Delete Files | Yes and Delete Cookies | Yes.
- Click on the Security Tab | Trusted Sites | Sites.
- Uncheck the box labeled "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone."
- Add kodakgallery.com, gallery.com, and ofoto.com to the list; click Close.
- Click on the Privacy Tab. Click on Advanced.
- Check the boxes that say "Override automatic cookie handling" and "Always allow session cookies." First and Third party cookie should be on Accept. Click OK.
- Click OK on the Internet Options windows. Close this window of Internet Explorer.
- Click on the Start Menu | Control Panel (or Settings | Control Panel) | Add or Remove Programs. In Vista, this may be Start Menu | Control Panel | Programs | Programs and Features.
- Remove any version of the Easy Upload tool that you may have previously installed, including v.2.1 (current version).
- Start up Internet Explorer again. Go to www.kodakgallery.com and sign into your account.
- Click on Upload Photos (third tab), Continue, Install Easy Upload. Click on Run and then Run again.
Never mind the fact that it's at least 15 steps before Kodak's gallery software stands a chance of working (when I first started having these problems, these steps were not listed anywhere on Kodak's Web site). Several of the steps involve making global changes to IE that have me wondering how far I must stray from IE7's default settings before other things start to go wrong. Or before some malaise or malware sets upon my wife's systems.
Maybe I won't have any problems. But I feel like I'm toying with something under the hood of a new car that I have no business toying with and that I could pass some point of no return.
Although I'm sure work arounds and third party utilities exist for targeting specific cookies for deletion, deleting cookies through IE7's stock interface for deleting cookies is an all or nothing approach. I hate deleting all of a browser's cookies because of the role many of them play in optimizing my user experience with certain Web sites. I don't like starting from scratch. I wish it was easier to delete just some.
I followed Kodak's step-by-step to the tee and it worked for the administrative user. But not for the standard user. Fortunately, the folks at Microsoft connected me with a support guy named Hal. By the end of the call, he determined that the standard user account that I had set up for my wife was corrupted and that the only way to recover was to create a new account, move any user files from the old account to the new one, and then eliminate the original account.
How, in a brand new Vista system, does a new standard user account become corrupted? Hal couldn't venture a guess. But it does appear as though IE7's functionality was somehow entangled with Vista's security mechanisms since everything seemed to work just fine for an administrative user, but not a standard user. Hopefully, Service Pack 1, whenever it ships, will put an end to these random events.

Gender & Silence: Caster Semenya and Unfixed Ambiguity
(Newport News, Va.) - Christopher Newport University's Dean Parks Colloquium Series will host a lecture titled "Gender and Silence: Caster Semenya and Unfixed Ambiguity" on Monday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m. in the Ferguson Center Music & Theatre Hall. The event is free and open to the public. No reservation is required.
Guest speaker Dr. John M. Sloop, professor of communication studies and senior associate dean of Vanderbilt University's College of Arts and Science will share the public arguments surrounding the Semenya case through the lens of gender performativity and rhetorics of silence.
In 2009, controversy erupted when the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF ) investigated the gender of Caster Semenya, a South African runner. Remaining silent on the test results, the IAAF allowed her to compete again in 2010. The world wondered, "Is Semenya male or female? In what race should she compete?" Conflicting assumptions about gender filled international discourse. Is gender fixed in the body or fluid? How did silence about her gender translate into a statement about her gender?

About me
Hello, I'm a thirty-something, newlywed, elementary teacher that moved from my home state of California to the wild, wild west of Montana a few years ago. We now split our time between Montana and slightly warmer southern Oregon. In my free time I like to travel, try new restaurants, fly-fish with my husband, hike, and volunteer at my local animal shelter.
