jsh177 For national chains, I prefer Caribou Coffee, and I really like Intelligentsia coffee where it is available. To me, Starbucks seems to be using inferior beans to what they used when they started. Maybe their explosive success caused this to happen. I still go...

jsh177 What a great bunch of upgrades! I really like the idea of being able to drag page elements around (a la Google Homepage, Pageflakes, etc.), and I like the new interface features. I am also interested in the "HTML sorties" feature, and I'll be poking around and...

Do you make money on ebay?

VotreAmie @VotreAmie (3028) • United States 24 Mar 07

Everybody has heard of Ebay and how you can make a decent amount of money from it. Do you sell regularly on ebay? Is it true that you can make a living from it? Personnaly I have been discouraged by the ebay fees and I'm sure...

jsh177 Is the eBay fee structure now such that people cannot easily earn a profit unless they sell in bulk? I see so many books with "success stories" about becoming eBay sellers, but I'm not sure if it is worth it if you're just moving a few items at a time. All of...

jsh177 I have been receiving e-mail alerts without any problem, so I'm not sure what's going on. I have a Yahoo! Mail account set up for mylot, and my spam filter hasn't been triggered by anything coming from here. Could it be a spam filter on your e-mail client?

Blogger versus Wordpress for newbies

jsh177 @jsh177 (23) • United States 28 Feb 07

jsh177 It's interesting to hear about the difficulties you've had with Wordpress. Blogger Beta certainly does make it easy to switch templates and that like. I like the huge amount of customization that can be done with Wordpress, but Blogger also allows for a whole...

bishojo17 @bishojo17 (46) • United States 21 Feb 07

jsh177 I have done a lot of teaching, both in classroom settings and one-on-one, and I've found that anything over 20 limits the level of reasonable interaction between teacher and student, and anything over 35-40 basically becomes a lecture with no interaction. With...
