Chatter Box

Need to satisfy that burnin’ itch for more? :-|

Well you’ve come to the right place. Here’s what on this page:

  • FeedBurner Links for you Ice Water Addicts.
  • A few of those damned silly Polls.
  • An Email link for your Private Bitchin’.
  • A place for Public Bitchin’ about this thing in general.



That’s pretty much what I expected.


OK, that stings a little.


December 21, 2012 is coming up fast!


Whew! I was worried there for a minute.


Got something to say you don’t want to write into a public comment? You can use this address to contact me directly:

If I don’t feel too threatened, I’ll write back. :mrgreen:

    Since I’m not getting any comments from here, this is a test! :mrgreen:

  2. Love your blog and I did your polls lol…

  3. izaakmak says:

    Thanks, and I’m glad you got the joke. Since so few people have responded, I have to assume they didn’t.

    I’m checking out your place right now and… what’s the acronym for lustful drooling? :-D

  4. Wow it looks superb hun, well done… x “Put it back in and shut your mouth” I think lmao…xx

  5. willowbatel says:

    Your blog looks really nice; I’ve been trying to spiff mine up too. I did most of the polls I think.

    • izaakmak says:

      Thanks so much. It’s an ongoing labor of love, including tons of trials and errors! The people from the forums have been enormously helpful. The useful sites they suggested are listed in my sidebar.

  6. willowbatel says:

    Cool I’ll do some investigating. Do you know of any places that show you how to make an icon in picasa 3? I’ve been trying to make my own icon but it’s been without success.

    • izaakmak says:

      I don’t know anything about Picassa. My PC and OS are too old for any of the really good stuff to run on. Are you referring to the Avatar/Gravatar thing for your blog? If so, I used the tools supplied by WP to create mine. It’s kinda limited, but I didn’t need much. I have a free image program called XnView that would allow me to adopt any existing image for that purpose. I got it from FileHippo.com, where you can find all sorts of graphics tools I can’t use. Check it out.

  7. willowbatel says:

    No I was thinking more along the lines of my own personal icon that I could post/give out. I was planning on creating my own for people to place on their blogs in exchange for putting their own on mine. That way traffic would increase for both parties. I dunno though, I’ll look around and see what I can find.

    • izaakmak says:

      You reminded me of something I had forgotten all about! You’d still have to come up with your own graphic, but here’s an interesting approach to doing what you want: Grab My Button!.

      I’m not sure it’d work for me, since my sidebar is already so busy. I’d be interested to see what you come up with though. It’s been awhile since I did any tinkering, and I can feel that old itch starting up… :lol:

  8. Cool blog!! Thanks for the information!!!

  9. Kyle says:

    Your blog is always so refreshing. Your blog has a feel-good factor in it.

    Keep on blogging! :D
    psst: Just did the polls! Great fun!!

    • IzaakMak says:

      Thanks my friend. Feedback like that makes it all seem worthwhile! :-D

      BTW, I’d like to add one of those “Quote of the Day” widgets (so I can pretend to be smart). Any ideas? Something using that gigya shortcode perhaps? :???:

  12. Netty Gritty says:

    I have been looking for such a widget for a long time, cos I saw a Forum request and I have seen your wish in Panos’ blog too!

    But um, I haven’t found a likable widget. I mean I saw something like a “George Clooney” Quote of the day, but that’s too impersonal. I have my eye on it, will let you know when (or rather, if) I find a solution!

    psst: Your comments inspire me a lot too! :D

  13. Rosie Robinette says:

    been trying to reach you….hope all is well..send me an e-mail or comment on face book.

    You can use misschivaho@yahoo.com if you like also.

  14. I wish more people would write blogs like this that are really fun to read. With all the fluff floating around on the net, it is rare to read a blog like this instead.

  15. bats0711 says:

    Hey Mak! Didn’t wp.COM have a contact page we could have on our blog, instead of posting our email address publicly on our blogs? Kind of like they fill out a contact form and we get that info in our email? I’m not finding it on my dashboard but I could of sworn it was there before.

  16. jennygoth says:

    i did your polls too great fun made me smile xxjen

  17. Raven says:

    I did Your polls and I was with the pack with all but the last one, I think I may be more crazy than you. LOL At least you are an intellectual, I have little memory so I don’t hold onto knowledge much. Does this makes sense to you? ;D

    • IzaakMak says:

      I don’t know about the “intellectual” thing, but I think I do grasp principles well. I have to, because I have the worst memory for details ever! :D

  18. Saved as a favorite, I really like your blog!

  19. I like your blog and enjoyed your posts. I’ve just awarded you a Versatile Blogger Award.

Congrats!

    Ok….I think I am now addicted to Ice Water? Is that a bad thing? What will the doctor say if I choose to tell him. Ok, our secret. We will kee it strictly between us.
