Open up your hosts-file on the computer with notepad or some similar text-editor. Where you can find it depends on what version of Windows you are using. Here you can find the locations on different OS-versions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file

Then type in something like

216.239.51.104 myspace.com
216.239.51.104 yahoo.com

This will redirect every request to myspace or yahoo to the IP 216.239.51.104, which is one of Google's. You can change the IP to whatever IP you like. If you use 127.0.0.1 any requests will loop back to your own computer.

Warning: Never ever change or delete the entry
127.0.0.1 localhost in your hosts-file!

You can read more on hosts here: http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/hosts.htm

the BEST way is to keep them away from your "work" computer...or break their fingers. either way works.

hi

anyone know of a way to block certain domains on IE?

need to keep two teenagers from myspace and yahoo.

Does the saying "One man's meat is another man's poison." sound about right?

TNB

Morning TNB!

Stopping by to say hi. Still haven't gotten a situation set-up so I can stop in here regularly or do any web work.

OTH looking at June stats. Almost every sponsor I work for did very well for me in June. June was my best month in the last 12 months.

But I didn't do ANYTHING in June.

I wonder if I am onto something.

A post from Matt Cutt's blog:

Hey folks, I wanted to let you know that new toolbar PageRank values should become visible over the next few days. I’m expecting that also in the next few days that we’ll be expiring some older penalties on websites.

http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-pagerank-update/

I'm not much interested in the PR-update but maybe a lift of some penalties could do some good to one or two of my sites.

content, eh?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhsSgcsTMd4

(its NOT what you think...its a great video!) BUT - its two guys fisting.

and for the hams out there (well, boldboy), i found out the rigs were yaseu ft-817's (qrp) - and its only about 25 wpm.

Hi Vicki,

Wow, long, long, long time.

Hope things have been well for you.


So I should add: <!--#include virtual="index.php" -->
rather than the <!--#include virtual="blog.php" -->
it states, correct?

If you want to call it into index.html you would use the SSI call....but I would call the blog.php - not - index.php.

Having 2 indexes - even though one is php and one is html might be confusing if you haven't looked at it for a while. After a while, one forgets why there are 2 indexes. LOL

<!--#include virtual="blog.php" -->

If you wanted to call index.php because of existing html code on it...you surely could do it that way.

Hey, it's great to see you're still around. Nice to "see" you here again!

yup, still in Vegas. Are you coming out to visit?

Yep, thats one challenge I'm not going to rise to I actually find the image rather off putting so I'm not likely to promote that particular niche

Finding the content will be a challenge

Hi Jeff - long time no talk!

Yes, the index.php does indeed have that code in it. I'm wanting to call the blog to a normal index.html page as Tom's instructions describes.
So I should add: <!--#include virtual="index.php" -->
rather than the <!--#include virtual="blog.php" -->
it states, correct?
(provided the index.html page calling the blog is in a different directory)
example: www.whateverdomain.com/index.html calls blog/index.php?

Yeah I know, after all these years I should know this stuff but well .. I haven't coded anything in wayyy too long lol

btw are you still living near LV?

Morning TNB gang

Hope everyone's doing well today.

I've been busy cranking out a batch of new websites.

I dont know about anyone else but whenever I see a post from Dandy11 I always expect it to be menu related. These links were quite a shocker, even to me, lol.

I'm sorry. I will stick to cooking-related posts then. Don't want to shock anybody here

BWT wb.

welcome home! fwiw, its been averaging between 100f and 105f in my neck of the woods! too hot for me, too! i think its the humidity that gets to me. in west texas, i could - easily - stand such temps, but the humidity was very low.

i went outside to put up another ham radio antenna a couple of days ago, took a couple of steps outside and said: "f**k this!" - immediately returning safely indoors to the nice air conditioning.

on another note, i thought the ONLY people who went to turkey were in turkish prisons?

thanks! torone answered my question. they're going to get another customer (me), to be used for a few other projects. problem is...i'm going to need a spreadsheet to keep all my different hosts, registrars, and domains in order. i spent a good part of today doing just that. obvously, a project that i put off WAAAAAY too long.

And a big hello to TNB and all its regulars who post or just read the messages. Today I'm back from a very hot holiday to Turkey. It was forcast to be in the 30's (centigrade) but was actually in the 40's.

I didnt know humans can survive in this kind of heat but apparently we can. Its not too pleasant for a wet damp country person like me, but most of the other guests were english and absolutely loved it.

Too hot for me!!!

All the best from a gloriously hot and sunny Scotland (Too hot here aswell!)

Hi Karla

If there's anything I can help with regarding servage I'm sure you'll let me know. If you need totest something specific I can do the same as last time, just ask and its yours.

I'm using WP MU. I have set it up in the root of the domain and I'm using subdomains. You can have a look at some of them here:

http://hotbloxxx.com/ (The root install)
And some subdomains:
http://shemales.hotbloxxx.com/
http://extreme-cum.hotbloxxx.com/
http://bisex-action.hotbloxxx.com/
http://piss.hotbloxxx.com/

I dont know about anyone else but whenever I see a post from Dandy11 I always expect it to be menu related. These links were quite a shocker, even to me, lol.

"two old timers were fisting away with each other"

I can feel a new tgp micro niche coming soon ....

Hi Vicki,
It's been a while since I set up a clean copy of the script. Mine are all hacked up a bit....but looking at the download, I see this line:

// BLOG SCRIPT

within index.php

check to see if your index.php has that line and the subsequent
blog php code below it:

$dirhandle= opendir("data/");
while($filename = readdir($dirhandle)) {
if ($filename != "." && $filename != "..") {
$entries[]="$filename";
}
}

if(count($entries) < 1) {
print("No blog entries yet");
exit;
}

natsort($entries);
$entries = array_reverse($entries);

for($i=0; $i < count($entries); $i++) {

$num++;

if($num <= $entry_number) {

$file = file("data/$entries[$i]");
$file = implode(" ", $file);
$blog = explode("<!-- blog -->", $file);
print("$blog[1]<HR>");
}

}

print("
(( etc. etc. etc. etc. ))

If it does, it appears you can just use index.php without blog.php

give it a shot.
Don't forget to CHMOD the appropriate folders

Hi Tom / all

I have a dumb question .. I downloaded your easy blog script today and proceeded to install & customize.
Then I came to this portion of the instructions:
""The good news is there's an easy solution - and it's what I'm using on my blogs.

Follow these steps to be able to customize your blog in an easier way:

1) Rename index.php to blog.php ""

There was already a file named blog.php in the zip file I downloaded ... I looked at that page and don't think you want me to overwrite it ... was that a misprint or am I being blonde again? lol

hugs!

I gotta have one of THOSE:

Hi AsianSlave,
Nice looking site but I noticed that although the screen caps are different for gallery 1 and 2....the videos are the same.

Thanks Jeff. Have a good week everyone

yes, i actually thought of that, myself. even though it IS the correct terminology. its one of those things that "sounds" better in your head BEFORE you see it on the screen.

If Mr.Ritto wasn't on a holiday I'm sure there would be a comment on "two old timers were fisting away with each other" LOL

i was up early VERY one morning a couple of weeks ago and 15m was open. two "old timers" were fisting away with each other at a really consistent rapid speed and excellent spacing. it was such a beautiful qso to listen to, it was like - music.

if you want to get some straight key practice, by the way, there is a straight key sprint coming up 0000Z-0200Z, july 23. believe me, there will be some slow hams and bad fists on the bands.

and good late (sunday) morning tnb!

No, haven't made any CW qso's yet.
I haven't had enough time to practise lately. Even at QRS I would do terrible at this time
Listening to CW qso's helps a lot though, I can copy most of a standard qso even at a higher speed.
The new wire antenna is doing great over here. I might as well take down the vertical since I hear the same on the wire.
Conditions were bad here as well on the bands the last weeks.
If the radio is on it's mostly on 40 meters SSB for europe. That always works here.
72/88

rr on the links, boldboy!

working any CW yet? over here in the US, the bands have been pretty sad. propagation in and out with lots of noise.

i have managed to bust through many a pileup (during contesting), but i zero beat the k1. the big guns can throw tons of watts on high gain antennas and i can - normally - stomp their butts on qrp with a random wire. hihi.

73/88

Thanks Karla & Dandy11 for the info and samples

I will try it and see how it works. The idea is to use a mix of RSS feeds and my own post.

Maybe we can swap some links later

thanks for the additional info, there, dandy! i knew i was "reasonably" right.

wp-mu is quite a nice program, imo. i like it.

I'm using WP MU. I have set it up in the root of the domain and I'm using subdomains. You can have a look at some of them here:

http://hotbloxxx.com/ (The root install)
And some subdomains:
http://shemales.hotbloxxx.com/
http://extreme-cum.hotbloxxx.com/
http://bisex-action.hotbloxxx.com/
http://piss.hotbloxxx.com/

As far as plugins go: I would guess that about 90% of the plugins that work with normal WP will work on WP MU as well. What you are using depends much on what you want to do. At any rate, I would recommend http://akismet.com/. It helps to prevent comment-spam.

As karla already mentioned, you have to install plugins on your main WP MU-insall in the root domain, then activate them on each individual MU-blog. The same goes for templates. You can have different templates and different plugins for individual blogs as you can see on my blogs above.

This post was edited by dandy11

hi boldboy!
to allow wp-mu to create blogs on seperate subdomains instead of folder, i believe it has to be set up in the root of the domain. i also read that regular worpress plugs will work with mu, but there is a specific task you have to perform to get them to work on each individual blog. i'm not sure what that is, but i did read it somewhere in the instructions.

Hi TNB

Is someone using Wordpress Multi User?

If so, can you recommend a setup?
Should I have it installed in the root of the domain, or in a folder of the domain?

I like WP MU to create sub directories like milf.mydomain.com and lesbians.mydomain.com, and have the latest entries of all blogs shown on the index page of the domain.

Also I wonder if you can recommend plugins for this setup.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Bobby,
Assuming your incoming links have not changed, I'd think that's a fair guess. Perhaps a bit faster.

I would resubmit the site to the major search engines.

Hiya Gang

Anyone know how long a well ranked site will take to re-gain its rakings if the whole site was blocked (via robots.txt) from the search engine spiders?

Would a few months seem to be about right?

Have a good weekend everyone

YGM! (back atcha)

I'm here...

ok, i know ritto isn't around, so...is there anyone else on here (i THINK torone) using servage as a secondary host? i have a quick question regarding it.

and good afternoon tnb!

need to ask a question

is there a way to set your IP address were it floats or rotates, where it is never the same one?



===========

i found out, figured i'd try my provider to find out.
i do have a roaming ip or as they called it a dynamic one.

From Reuters News:


Parking your car in the City, London's financial district, costs on average $68.07 a day, or $1,166.87 a month, while parking in the popular West End entertainment district cost $1,135.76 month,



is that obscene or what?

In the United States, New York City's Midtown was the priciest place to park at $585 a month, followed by the city's Downtown at $462 a month.


Some of the richest people I've ever known were in the parking lot business. Shoulda been me.

thanks tom!

Hi Karla,

Thanks for the kind words!

i see (and greatly appreciate) jeff's FINE work on his link lists.

and good evening (or whatever your time zone) tnb!

I just turned an old domain into a link list.

It's purely solo masturbation - both guys and girls.
Domain has traffic.
Any link trades - Link Lists, TGPs, blogs are welcome for both index, cat. pages and submit pages.

www.7MF.com

Free - site submissions are also welcome.

Also seeking trades for shemale LL as seen in tag line.

Hi everyone, I'm new around here.

I've been building free sites on and off for a little while now. I actually just built a site for the adultnetsurprise build-a-thon, but I seem to have missed the deadline for submission so I thought I would post it here, to see if anyone is kind enough to provide some feedback!

My free site is:
http://www.dirtyorientalsluts.com/explicit-asian-sex-movies/

Thanks in advance for your opinions!

"power supply thing" - there ya go, larry...it, surprisingly, IS called a power supply. easy to come by on the internet, a computer shop, or a flea market. they are VERY cheap.

make sure you have the same voltage, amperes, and physicial size that your computer requires (its specifically listed ON the power suppy box, itself)...AND you're in business.

all you have to do is unscrew the old one from the case, unplug it from the connectors, re-connect the new/used one - note that the connectors ONLY can be connected in the proper way (so you can't muck it up) - screw it into place and away you go. its so simple, even a caveman can do it.

the "big bear guarantee" applies: mileage FOR cavemen may vary.

Hey TNB

I am looking for a part for my PC. Have search online stores websites must be calling it by the wrong name, been looking under PC power box or power unit.

My PC got a surge of lightnng today, landlord has no lighting surge thangy at the power box outside.

I think it burned out my power supply thing, the metal box with the wall plug to hook up to eletriity. Kind of sure that was what burned up. I was online and the smoke was boiling out of that thing when i took the sidecovr off.

Any advice under what to search under.

Across the street using my friendly neighbors puter right now, but have some writing work that has to be turned in ASAP to meet deadlines and he wont let me do adult stuff on his PC.


I could use some of yalls great help, need help getting back up, or will lose all my income from my writing assignments.


thanks larry

hi farm girl and good (late) morning tnb!

it won't take you years to learn some basic html. follow ritto's example. as a matter of fact, i learned the "basics" years ago - in much less than a weekend. then i had a page up. it wasn't a very good page, but i took it from there. there is lots of knowledge about creating your own adult sites, pages, and so forth that WILL make money right here at tnb. all you have to do is ask.

in my opinion, i wouldn't waste another bit of time OR money on that "cookie cutter" site. that's just going to prove fruitless. its kind of a costly train wreck.

one of the easiest things to do, right now, is pick a niche that you like and are familiar with, pick a couple of sponsors, and BLOG away. you'd be surprised how simple and easy THAT is, just to get started, even with NO knowledge of html.

wordpress is quite popular and extremely simple to use with little or even NO html knowledge. personally, i like tom's little blog script, he'll even assist you in setting it up on your server. but you'll have to know some "basic" html after that. however, tom has also been known to request photos of your feet in return.


seriously, though, its not difficult to learn the basics and go from there.

good luck!

Hi there

To be honest I would hold off on spending any more on advertising until you are happy that your site has a chance of making the money back. Its not going to do that just now.

Its time for you to learn how to create a page of your own. You are goingto be very shocked at how easy that is, I was. It was my daughter that showed me, within 10 minutes I had the basics and everything else from there after was just learning the fancy stuff. It can be done and you will do it

We dont condone copying but I do readily advise finding a simple page on the internet that you like and looking at the html code for that page. Thats how I learnt most of my html, by copying (did I say that?) and changing and playing with the code, bit by bit, until I could predict the results. Change the font sizes, add in some extra line spaces, etc... In no time at all you will understand. Just try it.

Remember that at a push you can write / edit your html pages in a plain text editor, as long as you name your pages mypage.html (ie add the .html to the end instead of .txt)

I'm away for a week or longer so thats plenty time to get yourself a test page loaded up on your webspace. This is not a chore, its a chance to learn something new Catch you later ...

Yes , I am registered with them, but since my site has not been up long..I really cant say..so far i have been with them a few months...and no traffic..but if you all ready have traffic..you would probally be good...they will answer any questions from you because they did it for me, they were real nice..later

Dang...you know everything..lol..yes I own the site so I have all the domain keys and the ability to change things...as soon as i learn how..and yes I paid for the hosting, from myluxuryhost.com .It pretty much is thumbnail pics,I dont like the entry page..its hard to determine the 3 shops..it will take time. As far as advertising , I have paid $400.00 or close to it...and am still submitting myself..I will practice but it will take me forever..maybe in a few years I will know what you all go through to make a buck if I dont go belly up tring..lol thank you again..your great

Sponsor question:

Does anyone here use Platinum Bucks?

Any good or bad words about them?

Hi Torone,
Yup that's a great one that I'd forgotten about.
Much good stuff! http://www.w3schools.com/

As for a WYSIWYG editor, I suggest Microsoft Expression Web. I bought it and I have found that I like it better than I did FrontPage (plus, it isn't nearly as expensive as Dreamweaver!).

This post was edited by torone

Maybe someone here can post a link that they know of.
I find a lot of good info here:

http://www.w3schools.com/

Also good for PHP, etc.

Yep, its time to learn html or possibly take the other route, try a WYSIWYG webpage editor. I've never used one so cant say good or bad about them.

As for your current website. I've looked at it a number of times trying to work out what it is. Its not a paysite with a members area, it just seems to be a TGP (thumb nail gallery post) style of page. Tgp sites can make money but only based on two factors.

1. It has to have thousands of visitors a day, perferably tens of thousands.

2. Or, it has to be specialised, dealing with a very specific niche. This site is trying to include every niche under the sun eg big tits, teens, milf, cumshots, mature, etc, etc.

And the rest of the site just looks like a series of big adverts. Adverts are fine, but best worked in and around the content where they are more likely to be seen. Every visitor to this site is going to scroll past all the adverts looking for the content.

There are plenty ways to work in the adverts, and once you have learnt to edit your pages then we can show examples and give advice.

But until you can edit / change / create pages then we are really banging our head off the the wall. Theres nothing we can do.

Tu use a car as an example. We can give you directions to get you from A to B, and which roads to avoid. But if you cant drive in the first place then whats the point. Sorry, its as simple as that.

Now then, time to either learn html or get a free wysiwyg html editor and learn how to use it

Quick question ...
Do you own your domain and pay web hosting for it? If so then you must have the ftp (file transfer protocal) details that allow you to login into the account and upload html files, and pictures. That means you can create your own experimental pages in the background for you to learn with. Go check your paperwork to confirm what you actually paid for. You will need the login details or else you'll have to pay extra for a new domain and hosting, and we dont want that to happen!

Hi F.G.,

The site you showed us is a "cookie cutter" site.

In order for it ( or any other site to be successful ), it needs to have traffic.

Some of the best traffic is search engine traffic.
In order to receive SE traffic, the site needs to be optimized with keyword specific title, text and heading tags, among other things.
There is virtually no S.E. usable text within your site as it stands now.

In addition, the site doesn't really have a focus other than being various hardcore.


To put it nicely, I would not put much time into this site as it stands today....but instead,
if your serious about earning income online - learn HTML.
It's not hard but it does take an effort to learn it - like anything else.

Do a search for "learn HTML free" or something similar.
It's been so long ago that I learned it I can't point you to a good online free source....but there's no question there are alot of sources out there.

Maybe someone here can post a link that they know of.

Once you begin to learn HTML, you can start to create sites that will get SE traffic, sites that can be listed within link lists, tgps, etc. etc. and gain traffic through a variety of methods.

You can always post here as you're learning and the folks here will respond to your questions and examples.

Thanks a lot...it means so much to me, cause i have no idea what im doing..lol

Thanks about the caps note...I had no idea, As far as the programming on this site...I know nothing else, but im learning thanks to all you pc wizers..html sees alot easier than java.But I will continue to read all of ya,lls things, and maybe I will make a few bucks...I have another name pinkndripping.com but its not even started..so it wont be a cookie cutter, i hope i can do it..lol THANKS SWEETHEART...farmgirl

Hey farm girl,

How much HTML experience do you have?

I spent many an hour reading those archives. I remember trying to print one off to read later and the ridiculous amount of paper that it required! Some mistakes you only make once

One day I'm going to search the archives to see when I made my first post. It must have been at least 4 years ago if not a bit longer.

Wow.. I haven't been to this board in years I remember when it started - I actually think I still have some of the archives saved on an old laptop, since I used to so save them all so I could take them with me and read the board while on the road

Hello Farm Girl!

Warmest of welcomes to the board here.

if that IS the url, jeff, she was right. it is definitely a "cookie cutter" site, that she purchased...and my inital post (somewhere down the board) still stands.

and good evening/night/or whatever tnb!

Hey F.G.

You have a typo in your URL

it appears to be - I think anyway -
PinkAndDripping.com/

note the extra "D"

oh btw,
it's not really proper etiquette to type in ALL CAPS.
it gives the appearance of shouting.
This board is very tolerant as it's a newbie ---->+
board, but other WM boards won't be.
Just a heads-up!
