Lyrics:

Once upon a time
Archangel in the sky
Made a cover every night

Once upon a time
The angel loved me so
It'a miracle
In the snow, my heart won't be cold

My Dear
You are my angel
Tell me what you know
Something should be told

My Dear
You are my angel
Tell me where you go
I will brace behind your throne

Once upon a time
My angel gave me life

Goodbye 2009.. and hello to 2010!

Exciting News from Six Apart (and the YouTube Conduit is Fixed)

Nov 17, 2009

First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!

The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.

TypePad Micro

10 comments

A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.

Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.

On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.

And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!

As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.

The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.

When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.

It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.

Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.

As always, thanks for your patience.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

new products: mavala double lash and dermamed acne kit & no 'poo!

I hate how I have such sporadic updates but my program has been sooo busy it's not even funny. I see my team members more than I see my family and spend more than full-time work hours working on these projects for just this ONE class. It's insane and brutal but at the same time, it does feel more rewarding in the end.

So since there has been a lot of stress, there has been a lot of retail therapy...and also lots of break outs! >< I bought the mavala double lash because it was on sale at a local retailer for about $12 CAD. I haven't been using it as consistently as I should so I can't report much back about it. Since I've spent many nights away from home, I haven't applied it those nights, and when I am home I'm so dead tired that I completely forget to apply it. I'm not looking for dramatic growth though...really hope to just strengthen them and maybe have them a bit fuller so that all my mascara and curling won't pull them all out.

Along with the stress, my face has been breaking out TERRIBLY. This is the worst that it has ever been in my life. People keep commenting on it though which makes it even worst...Chinese adults just don't seem to have any tact. Well at least the ones I've encountered (my parents most of all). While browsing through the Whole Foods, I found this natural acne gel and for the first night it seemed to work really well...it calmed down the spots and they were less red and painful. I also loved that I could understand pretty much everything on the ingredient list and there were no parabens or strong chemicals like benzoyl peroxide but instead used lovely tea tree. So I bought that and used it a couple of days and was satisfied enough that I went to look up the brand. It's a Canadian brand which makes it another plus, and I found they have this acne kit with the gel that I have, a acne wash that only has 4 ingredients and they're all natural except for the 2% of salycid acid (but at this point of my acne I think I do need the little bit of medicatedness), as well as a supplement vitamins with more all natural organic properties that I only have to eat twice a day with my meal (I tried other acne supplements but those required like 4 times a day and I could never remember...)

So far I've only tried the kit for two days so I don't have much to report yet. The wash was a bit drying but just using my Lush Eu Roma toner was enough to moisturize it. The supplements are also a bit big but luckily I don't have too much trouble swallowing it down with a glass of water. I know that my lifestyle right now might also ruin the chances of this kit working because I am hardly sleeping, eating junk (but at the same time, my team fortunately tries to make more healthy meals for one another, and while I work, I tend to touch my face without realizing it ><

Oh and I loved the CS of this Dermamed company. I was about to order from their site (prices were better than what other retailers were selling it for...I guess its the whole, get it from the source!) and I noticed that their office is in my city! So I emailed them and asked them if I could come in and pick up the order instead of having them waste package for shipping it 10 minutes away. They agreed and told me to just let them know when I come in and they'll have it ready for me! So I did and they were super nice and it even has a 30 day money back guarantee if this doesn't work out in the end. I'm trying my best to be consistent with this though and not let my schedule wreck havoc on my face....

Last thing...I've started the no'poo regimen! For those who don't know what it is.....it is weaning your body off of using shampoos...all the brand, lab produced shampoos. Our bodies are supposed to be able to naturally generate oil that nourishes our hair but since we've been using shampoos, it strips our scalp of too much oil and so our scalps over-produces and we keep trying to wash it and it becomes a vicious cycle. So instead of washing with shampoo now, as a transition/detox period, I am washing with baking soda and conditioning with apple cider vinegar! Don't you love these two things? Remember my last post about using this stuff for face scrub and toner? It's about the same idea here but for your scalp. I've been doing this for a week now. I still have to wash my hair every day but my hair is so much shinier and full of natural body than with even my favourite lush shampoo! I love lush, but it can get quite pricey and these two ingredients are so affordable. Eventually my scalp is supposed to get used to producing the natural oils and tone down and I'll be able to wash my hair less and less (still washing with just water though) until eventually my hair will only need to be rinsed with water alone! I am really liking it so far. My hair right now is getting a bit oilier faster than usual but that's only as my head starts to get used to it. It happens to everyone this way and it's just a waiting game from here. I have noticed though that the greasyness is not as bad looking as it was before when my head gets greasy and my hair is in so much better health now. Google no 'poo to read up more on how to do this if you're interested!

Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.

We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for being so patient.
