Funny Verizon blog post; lies about Netflix
Here's a hilarious article from Verizon to dispell the 'myth' of issues getting what you have requested from Netflix:
http://publicpolicy.verizon.com/blog/entry/why-is-netflix-buffering-dispelling-the-congestion-myth
Here's my favorite part:
"One might wonder why Netflix and its transit providers were the only ones that ran into congestion issues. What it boils down to is this: these other transit and content providers took steps to ensure that there was adequate capacity for their traffic to enter our network."
Last time I checked, Verizon sells internet service to its customers; i.e., pay us and we give you access to whatever you want on the internet. It is their job to ensure that I can get the content I am paying them to deliver to me. It's ludacris to expect every content provider on the internet to investigate whether or not every internet provider on the planet has a network engineered to be able to receive large amounts of traffic from them.
I love how Verizon calls the traffic "their traffic." as if Netflix is magically sending something to them uninvited. No Verizon, the traffic in question is not Netflix's traffic, it is my traffic. I pay you for internet service, and I pay Netflix for movies, delivered in the form of packets of data across the internet. When a unicast stream of movie data leaves Netflix's servers, it is mine, I paid for it, I pay you to deliver it from them to me, and you suck at doing that during busy times of the day.
that isn't how the internet works.
Put it this way.
You want to share files with ME
If I don't have internet, can you do that?
No.
If netflix doesn't get an ISP can they stream their videos?
no.
So Netflix has an ISP and they pay people to get their traffic from point A to B.
They are going on the cheap and using congested ISP's on their end, that is why your HBO GO your Hulu your amazon prime, your video streaming to Verizon probably works quite well.
It's netflix's problem. they could fix this with a few mouse clicks, but they want free bandwidth. apple pays for theirs, microsoft pays for theirs, all their competitors pay for theirs.
That is unfair business practices and they are using you as a political ping pong ball trying to get their way

OT: The Dreamweaver team's blog post about the Dreamweaver modernization effort
Hi all,
The Dreamweaver team has shared its thoughts on the rationale behind changes in Dreamweaver CC in its blog post http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/06/a-look-at-the-modernized-dreamweaver-cc.html. The blog post also touches upon what's ahead while providing alternatives to some of the older features that did not make it to Dreamweaver CC.
The team has taken into account feedback from several quarters before formulating a reply. I thank all of you on this forum who have provided us with inputs and constructive feedback to help us respond to your concerns.
I would like to particularly call attention to this sentence from the blog post:
We have just begun the modernization process and invite you to voice your opinion. We are committed to taking action on customer feedback and remaining as transparent as possible about our future plans.
In this context, it is worth noting that the Creative Cloud provides us with the flexibility to quickly try and address issues and areas that fall within the purview of our shared vision for Dreamweaver.
Thanks,
PreranNamaste Preranji,
That URL that you posted is broken it should not be "dr eamweaver" but "dreamweaver" I hope that is not a bad omen. (-;

http://blog.cartweaver.comYeah, it's not the kind of thing you want to have thrown at you, but neither is it a big surprise. With gift cards, and rebate cards like Verizon issues becoming more popular, there's going to be an increasing need to be able to do this sort of thing, so might as well dive in, program for it and be prepared to serve our clients. eCommerce is a continually moving target, and I see it as my job to stay up with it. Just one more reason to love the banks and all they do to, um, er... I mean "for" us :-)

How to post multiple images in one blog post using iweb
Hi
I would like to post multiple images in a single blog post. When ever I add a second or third image in the "entry" section of iweb, it does not show up in the blog post on the homepage of the blog. does anyone know if it is even possible to have multiple, separate images in one post, and if so, how.
Here is a link to my blog: http://www.hoopography.com. You can see how there is only one image. I I want to talk about multiple items, I need to create an image in Pages and put them all together. I would really like to break out of the one box (placeholder) mold. I feel so constrained in iweb right now. I think I have done a lot with my blog, but I am always looking to learn more about iweb and improve my blog. Thanks for any help!!!what's the url of your blog? I'd like to check it out. I'm always interested in learning more about iWeb to improve my blogs. Mine are: http://www.hoopography.com and http://www.wnysportscards.com

Title and description when sharing a blog post in Facebook
I want to get the title and a piece of description of my blog post when sharing on Facebook and not just a url with no text...
Problem is Matt that this is one of the things the Engineering team are just putting off and having the new web app engine and concept of "Build your own blog" to fix the issues is what is currently being run.
I know I am not the only one not happy with this approach but it is a running trend when reporting issues like with the gallery module not working right.
I am also not a fan of the current operations of bug reports where even it if it a game breaker if you try to use something because it does not work, if you the first or only one or a rare few to notice it and tell them, even in detail it wont get fixed as you know.
You have to wait for a public issue as more people realise it or a beta bug to have people moan about it live to then get fixed. But it makes BC look bad and unless your one of the few partners with a bit of clout with BC it wont get addressed unless a big enough stink is made of it.
I do not know many software developers who run this old approach and from a support stand point, while I know you cant agree or disagree with me on any of this it causes you guys a nightmare.
YOu have issues reproted, you confirm them, they stop someone doing something they need for them or their clients and push and moan at you and its with the engineers and nothing you can do other then up vote it over and over till they finally get round to fix it.
Bug fixing is one of the key things I think thats harming BC right now over new features, tags wrong, math calculation wrong, bugs preventing certain features not being useable for years...
And then new features launched with bugs on top! -
SQL Azure blog post cannot be accessed unless I log in with LiveId
No idea where else I could have posted about this, so I post here. MSDN Blogs seem to have no support forums.
The following two links:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlazure/archive/2010/08/13/10049896.aspx
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/appfabricannounce/archive/2010/08/13/finding-blocking-queries-in-sql-azure.aspx
lead to the same blog post.
Previously I could open that post no problem using any of the two links no problem at any time even without being logged in with LiveId. No more - now whenever I try to open it I'm required to log in. This happens all the time for the first link and sometimes
for the second link too. If I Google for "find blocking sql azure queries" the first hit looks like below.
I believe it should be this way. How can I get this fixed?Hi Dmitry,
Please try it again, I just check we can visit it with annonymous access.
For the search issue, it might be caused by Search Robot setting in the blog.
You can also contact the blog author to check what happens:

Template breaks when viewing Blog Post Details Layout
I've made a new ECommerce site with my own template (HTML en CSS). On the Blog Post List is my new template. But when I click on the title or permalink, Then my template breaks and all I see is the text from my template and the blog post detail. What can I do?
Regards,
A.H. BakkerYes, just as I suspected. A lot of your CSS, JS and IMAGE assets are referenced incorrectly in your page template or page.
Right now, in your page template you are referecing IMG elements with a "relative URL":
<img src="images/myimage.jpg"/>
That will work fine on the homepage and first-level pages like "/" and "/blog" because the browser will attempt to load:
http://yoursite.com/images.myimage.jpg
But, if like on your blog detail pages which are located deeper in the websites folder structure "/blog/nog-maar-eentje" since this URL places you on the "nag-maareetje" page inside the "blog" folder, your relative URL will lead the browser to try and load
http://yoursite.com/blog/myimage.jpg
That is not the correct location for our images folder which is directory in the site's root folder. To avoid this issue, you need to update your references to all images that's SRC attribute start with "images/" and change it to a "site relative URL" simply by prepending a "/" at the beginnging of the SRC attribute:
<img src="/images/myimage.jpg"/>
You'lll need to replicate this process for your CSS and Javascript references too. CSS references will look like:
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Becomes:
<link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
And javascript:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib.js"></script>
Becomes
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/lib.js"></script>
Anywhere that a reference to a javascript, stylesheet or image starts without a slash, "/" and just begins with the folder or asset ("images/...", "myimage.jpg") are relative URLs. You'll also see URLs that are absolute and those are URLs in your code that start with "http://yoursite.com" or "http://yoursite.businesscatalyst.com". Those you don't have to worry about since they are absolute and won't get mucked up when you are trying to load those from page within your site.
After you edit your page templates you might need to fix the same problem in your pages that are in a subfolder of your site. -
Can you set up a subscription service so blog posts are emailed to subscribers
I would like to allow people to sign up to receive my blog posts via email (ie like how they can in blogger etc) but can't see anywhere to do this?
Is it possible?
ThanksI guess it depends who your targets are - do they have any interest in modern forms of social media or is email even a push for them.
To be able to add a blog post about an important update/thing to do and have it emailed out provides both an easy online place for people to look back over the information as well as the immediate provision of information via email, without me having to both email the people the information and also provide an online back up of that information.
In this case it is creating double the work.
I know I check my email several times a day (OK more than that, lol), social media - facebook - a couple of times a week (so I miss a lot), twitter - nearly never.
How have I found out about most things (personally) in the last two years? - via word of mouth or email.
The market I am working with I would say mostly word of mouth (or frustratingly not enough of that) so am hoping to provide the information via the website and encourage people to check the website more regularly but also know when there is important updates available.
I don't want to have to email out the updates and also blog them for posterity.
It doesn't appear every other blogging software company agrees with you as a subscription service is always available and well utilised.
(oh and I will say I don't think business catalyst was the perfect platform for this site, but I inherited it). -

Blog post on deploying mapviewer in websphere
For those who may be interested, LJ's recent blog post describes how to deploy mapviewer (11.1.1.5) on websphere 7.

Hi,
I use windows live writer to publish to my blog on BC and other blog platforms.
When I publish from live writer with today at the post date, the post is not visible on the blog site at all.
I enter the admin of BC, change the blog post date to yesterday and the post becomes visible.
Thought this was an issue with live writer so I changed the published date back to today. Post disappeared again.
Changed it back to the day before and it appeared.
This is very buggy. In fact I am finding the blog set up in general full of issues, like the RSS feed does not work.
What can be done about this? I would like to press publish and have it actually published not have to log in and edit each post each time....
PaulMy apologies Paul I was referencing the RSS troubles.
In regards to the post date with blogs using Live Writer I'm not aware of any related bugs referencing this as a known issue.
If still an on-going issue I recommend submitting a case to us with the details and steps showcasing what you are experiencing so we can replicate and fix this ASAP.
I would suggest using Jing to capture in a short video of what you are experiencing attached along your case to us.
Admin panel -> help&support (log a ticket)
Jing -> http://www.jingproject.com/
Kind regards,

I subscribe to blogs via RSS (whatever that means) and new blog posts show up in my bookmark menu ....... they show up with a grey unassuming icon at the beginning of the blog post bookmark.
Months ago the appearance of the bookmarks would "change" when I visited the post ..... eg. for blogger posts the icon would turn into the traditional orange blogger symbol.
But for many many months now the icons don't change with the visit and it's getting difficult to remember if I've visited that blog post or not by looking at the bookmark itself.
How can I get the bookmark to update/refresh when I visit a blog post?I see a faded RSS feed icon for live bookmark items that turn into the website's favicon after having visited the link.
There may be a problem with the favicons if you get the generic default icon instead of the website's favicon.
You can try to repair the places database with this extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
You can to remove all stored data from that domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) to see if that will reset the favicon if the above posted steps didn't help.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious if you need to keep passwords or other data from that site.<br />
You can't recover from that "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.<br />
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Backing+up+your+information
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again. -
