And now, a fairly random video from Key of Awesome. Not sure why, maybe because I said “retweet.”

Thank you.
Although, I’m not sure whether the bump is because of that or because we had more interesting news yesterday than most days lately.
I guess we’ll see.
Paulie and Thomas K –
Many thanks for adding the FaceBook connections and share buttons. I think it is a great idea, and I think we got a bump in overall views already.
-Kimberly
If you are trying to post an image or video, you have to become an IPR writer. Dunno how to change that.

[Spoken] Greetings beotches. Take off your pants.
KATY
I know a place where the girls are always meaner
If you ain’t rich, they’re goin’ nowhere near your wiener
Sippin’ Starbucks venti skinny mocha chai tea
with foam
Drivin’ Escalades while they’re texting and re-tweeting
on i-phones
KATY
You can try to approach us, but we’re all the same we don’t care what your name is
We’ll look at you for a second, but that’s just to make sure that you’re not famous
California girls we’re unreliable
Never worked a day in our lives
Hybrid Dogs in bags we leave em’ in the car
DOG
OWOWOWOWOW
California girls we’re so predictable
Hottest bodies money can buy
Spray tanned silicone boobs are indestuctable
Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing
SNOOP
Sign your name on the dotted line
Don’t need brains if that ass is fine
Once you cross the L.A. Border
You develop an eating disorder
Sell your soul, dance on the pole
Bang Charlie Sheen just for a role
Nose jobs, tummy tucks
These are the girls I like to… hang out with
Inflate your lips. Loose the hips
See through shirts show off your nips
Paparazzi is everywhere
Oops forgot your underwear
Katy my Lady, I’m all up onya
Cus you’re representin’ California
But you know I’d still be all up inya
Even if that ass was from Virginia
And you know that you can bet your butt
That I’d do girls from Connecticut
I could really fill my booty quota
By bangin’ out ho’s from Minnesota
KATY
California Girls we are so are desperate
Sold our souls for fortune and fame
Soon we’ll look like Cher or Melanie Griffith
OW OW OW OW AGHH
“California Gurls” is so repetitive
All Pop sounds exactly the same
It’s the same beat from that other song that Kesha did
OWOWOWOW

It was slowing load time and causing database connection errors. Let me try a different one…
I found a couple of plugins that do that and more.
If I knew how, I’d add that too.
Not that beggers can be choosers… but is it possible to have a share icon on the story itself?
Bryan – I know how to get the icon from facebook. It’s the part about inserting it where the rss and sitemeter icons are that I haven’t figured out yet.It may be that it requires server access, which I don’t have (if I did, the first thing I would fix would be where author names don’t appear on the article except on the front/index page — I actually do know how to fix that). It may be that it’s a php thing; I don’t really know php, but I figured out the author issue, so maybe I could figure this out too. Or it may be a simple widget. I’ll work on it to see if I can figure it out.
Tom – OK, that’s true, I pressed the idea. But I didn’t know how to do it. Ideas are a dime a dozen without execution. Trent gets an assist too, since we couldn’t do it unless/until he added us as facebook admins 🙂
Actually, it’s not thanks to Tom Knapp, it’s thanks to Paulie. He pressed the issue; all I did was press a couple of buttons.
If you go to facebookicon.net you can get the code, I don’t know how your site is set up but you should be able to add where the rss and sitemeter icons are at.
Don’t know how, maybe Trent is the only one who can do it, or maybe I can do it somehow but I don’t know the way.
Hell, I didn’t even know you guys had a facebook page….(I usually don’t read the links to the right unless I’m looking for something specific)
Why don’t you put one of the little “F” icons up near the top?
