Lesson Learned about Browsers from HTML Error

Posted by ToyboxCharley on 6th April 2010 in About MyRacyToybox.com

From ToyboxCharley at http://MyRacyToybox.com

If you use Internet Explorer and went to http://MyRacyToybox.com after reading my previous post, it was pretty garbaged up. Sorry.

The Lesson??? Firefox and Chrome forgave a missing character, and IE does not. An HTML anchor tag was not closed (<a href=”url” with no ‘>’). Firefox and Chrome closed it for us and gave no error, and IE7 and 8 got all bent out of shape.

If you got blapped, please check again. http://MyRacyToybox.com

Thanks.

Unique Brand / Linkback App for Twitter

Posted by ToyboxCharley on 18th January 2010 in About MyRacyToybox.com, This Blog as a Blog

From ToyboxCharley at http://MyRacyToybox.com

A little different this time – This is for Tweeters.

I haven’t used this blog for technical recommendations, and much less, technical recommendations that have little to do with blogging. However, I really feel that this is pretty special and wanted to spread the word.

Tweeting with an application

As ToyboxCharley I have some 13,200+ followers. From time to time I send out a tweet, and, since I use Outlook for messages, I found the free application Twinbox, made for Outlook, which will create the TinyURLs, and send the Tweet on it’s way. It’s a good service. However, although I had never thought about it, following each tweet is a dim line showing the hour, and mentioning a ‘from’, which is this case was Twinbox: ‘from Twinbox.’

So every tweet I put up was branded with the Twinbox name. There’s more… That ‘from Twinbox’ is a hyperlink which goes to the site of the parent of the Twinbox application. This is surely just a way to receive some benefit from providing the free software. Certainly not a complaint from me. And you will find this same situation, as far as I can find, on each of the Twitter applications in use for Tweeting.

“TweetBrand” to the rescue

Well, I found a FREE application which puts YOUR name there, and, in addition, makes it a hyperlink which links back to YOUR site. I believe, until proven otherwise, that that is a unique offering. I’ve been using it for a few days, and it just simply works. The ‘from’ is ‘from My Racy Toybox,’ and that is a link to http://MyRacyToybox.com.

We have placed some more information, samples, and download information at http://www.myracytoybox.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/brand_tweets.htm. No name or eMail required. Just linked to the software provider.

Or you can go directly to the provider from here: http://www.marketmetweet.com/tweetbrand-get-it-now.html.

Good Tweeting!

Tweets about the site are drawing followers.
