Martha Stewart’s Chow Puppy Dead in Accident

Martha Stewart fans got a kick out of learning last week that her two Frenchies, Sharkey and Francesca, had started their own blog. Called “The Daily Wag“, the blog promises to share details of the adventures of the twosome. Tessa posted a comment chastising them for referring to Martha as “the boss”, but we note it hasn’t appeared yet. Apparently Martha takes that boss title seriously.

This week, however, the news is much more grim. Martha’s new Chow puppy, Ghengis Khan, was killed in a freak propane explosion at the Pennsylvania home of her breeder. The new puppy, who was the topic of much internet discussion on sites like cuteoverload.com, was the successor to Martha’s previous Chow, Kublai Khan.

Watch this video tribute to the Pit Bulls of North Carolina, slaughtered at the urging of the HSUS.

Now ask yourself – Why is anyone still giving money to the HSUS?

Blogrolling Blows

After six+ months of downtime, rumors of major leaugue hacks and problems, and a ‘we’re working on it! Back any moment now! Really!’ page that kept pushing ahead the roll out date, Blogrolling is finally back — and I just removed it from my template.

Here’s a hint – if your service spends months down, pissing off your subscribers and making it impossible for any of us to edit our links, perhaps you shouldn’t re launch immediately with a new format that forces my visitors to read stupid paid ads on every link – paid ads that *I* have to pay to have removed.

Pay you? How about I just go back to using the old skool WordPress blogroll list, instead?

Morons. Major marketing fail.

Site Bug Test Needed

by frogdogz on March 6, 2009 in French Bulldog Stuff with 5 Comments

I’m playing around with some Flash (I’m thinking of adding some to a new site I’m working on for another breeder), but I decided to test it out on my site before hand, just in case.

Can you please take a look, and fill out the small poll on the left side while you’re there?

Mostly, I just want to see how many people are using flash enabled browsers, and whether the number is high enough to bother adding it to the site. I also want to see how many people just find Flash annoying, rather than amusing. I won’t use it as an exclusive menu system yet, but I think it can brighten up a site if used sparingly.

Test page is here — http://bullmarketfrogs.com/index2.html

Thanks!
