I've been to a great number of web sites dealing with all forms of healing and crystals.. offered my advices unto them, yet.. I felt like everyone has been simply "feeding" off me. Not giving me the time of the day and just asking for more more more..

I've attempted on a number of occasions to create a web site devoted to my suggestions, writings and images.. Seems I can't sit still long enough to stay in one place.. But that's not the issues.. Although I want to stay in one place my mind and body doesn't. along with those who have deemed my writings and work objectionable and/or I get banished from a site, Images are lost within my sites.. Or my works have been plagiarized.

So.. what am I getting at.. Well First off I was reading my emails.. and found out that HealthyPages was voted one of the top pages etc etc.. and within the email.. where banner images used on a persons site to link back to the HealthyPages etc. I would have gladly posted or constructed a post just to display the banners.. However.. I don't have a page.. or at least one I can call home and be comfortable with having online..

Leading up to my suggestion.. I wonder.. if it would be possible to allow registered users (here) the alternative of having their own page to blog or post relative info from the forums?.. What a better place to post my crystal articles, thoughts, dream interruptions etc.. then here.

A great idea OreGorman, I think HP is gone very boring and could do with this.

Am I missing the point? :confused:

Can't you create blog posts using one of the free blogging sites like www.blogger.com and then link to Healthypages from that? You can also put the link to your blog in your signature here on Healthypages.

Or perhaps there's something more you are thinking of that I've missed.

Reading Between The Lines

Evidently you did miss the point.. The point I would like to suggest is that "Here" is the best place to put what I have to say.. and those other sites have only given me pain and suffering.. in other words... facebook, twitter, blogger, wordpress etc etc etc.. are all off my list.. I've had it with their ill formations and negative comments only to have my posts removed.

Where is the freedom.. to express ones self and yet have the control to say things which others connect and understand. Clearly you didn't understand.

It is said.. Go where you are happiest.. and I have.. but comments liek yours ar enot offering me or anyone else positive feedback.. for this site HeatlthyPages.. Your actually directing users to goto and use other sites as their alternative instead of this one..

Just seem befitting to offer a blog area or an article submission area for all users here.

Energlyz I think OreoGorman means having a tab for blogging at the top of the page and not having to search each person individually for a blog, quick access to them,who ever decides to put one up, I think its a good idea 🙂

Star..

"Ore" (Or-e) or Wizard (most friends call me this anyway) and not.. Oreo.. :/

And.. I hope your referring to having our own Blog area here and not just some redirect to another site.. adding another tab (Readers Blogs) etc would suffice.

Didn't there used to be an "Articles" option in a previous incarnation of Healthypages? I can only presume that if there was and there isn't now, it was removed with good reason when Healthypages was upgraded.

IMHO - this is a forum where people come to discuss and exchange views, ask for advice etc. If people want to write articles or diarise their lives I think there are more appropriate places to do it.

Sorry, it wasn't meant to be negative in any way, I was just trying to understand the requirement, as the site administrator is the one who creates the forums and features of the site, so he would need to understand exactly what is being asked for. I think you've now made that clear.

As already mentioned, I think there did used to be such a feature to allow people to write articles, but that no longer exists. Not sure why, but I'm sure the site admin will know.

Very Well

I guess I'll forever seek somewhere, anywhere to post my articles and have the safety that those reading them will not plagiarize or at least give credit where credit is due.. Thou at the moment I'm leaning towards writing a book instead of posting anything online.

Why not try writing articles into e-books or books suitable for the Kindle?

There are ways of protecting images etc online e.g. you can ensure people cannot right-click and copy/paste text or images, you can set the directory where they are stored to be password-protected etc.

Sadly there will always be those who will take others' work (written, online whatever) and present it as their own 🙁

OreGorman,

Don't give up hope just yet, the site administrator hasn't responded yet. :rolleyes:

meurighj,

There's nothing worse than websites that prevent someone from right-clicking. I, and many people I know, get p'd off by this type of thing as we often use right-clicking to open up links in new tabs or windows and it prevents that too. It also doesn't stop a person from copying images or text, it's just an annoying deterrant. Let's face it, if an image can be displayed on a persons browser, they can copy it. The best way to protect an image online is to watermark it across the image and/or to digitally watermark it (though the latter can cost).

I think that is everyone's problem when they post online anywhere but on their own site. It sounds like you have had problems and have reacted to comments, well, here at HP the mods are very fast on any problems so that won't happen but as you haven't been here long it seems strange that you have suddenly decided 'here' is where you want to store all your eggs?

Blogs take up a lot of space and hosting on a site and there is also the ownership and continuity aspects, best most probably to host your own where only You are in control.

Although, perhaps a thread is so similar to a blog that a new Blog Section at HP of threads, each started by the 'blog (thread) owner' may work instead of having to buy new software for HP?

Sorry to hear you don't like right-clicking Energylz. I have some code in place on my website so that only the images (my photographs) cannot be right-clicked on. 🙂

Positive Begot Positive

I've been searching for positive input on allot of things.. and I have seen and felt it here many times.. Thou I feel you maybe right in saying that a blog would be a bit redundant here.. because many of us simply continue on within our post that some may even be considered to be blog in themselves.

Along these same lines.. Again I've attempted to write something and post it online.. and yet again.. someone reports my post as spam or errors etc.. and my account is either ban or my post removed.. this is very odd..

Someone or something simply doesn't want me to spread the words I wish to utter.. I've also had to change my email address being that is was associated with a number of these blog post.. I did not openly post my email.. but any hacker could and does find ways of getting past that.

So now I'm at a loss or a cross road.. some have told me I nee to write a book based on all my writings.. But everything is so jumbled up.. I talk about everything.. think of everything and at nights I can't sleep my mind is constantly racing.. new thoughts or ideas.. bad and good dreams mixed.. I feel like I hear everyone one of you in my mind and I can't single out thsoe who really need my support..

I can't say this is curse.. or a cure.. but I've been living with this since my mother passed in march.. I see things out the corner of my eye.. and I know that it ti her.. I've taken shows and the water would slowly go cool or cold.. again I know it's her, because when I was younger I had a large coffee pot spill on my legs burning them badly.. I think my mother is simply looking out for me.

Hi OreGorman .

I have been through many mind sets In relation to what I am Inspired to say or write or not to say or write so to speak .

I went through 10 years of absorbing Information via experiences had and didn't say a word about what's contained within them .

I had the Inner knowings that I needed to share what I know - perhaps you have that same Inner knowing that you need to connect and communicate also .

When I first started to open my mouth about certain experiences had was met with ridicule .

A great lesson learnt on many levels when I began speaking openly . Adversity awaits all those Individuals that speak the truth . The truth can seemingly trigger a loving response or a fearful response within an Individual .

I think there are Individuals that will build you up and those that will knock you down .

What I have realized Is that It Is Important to know yourself firstly . To be grounded and be of sound mind . In one respect what you speak or write about whether It be praised or slandered matters not because they will equally not effect you .

Your understandings and your wisdom attained of self will reflect upon the comments of others .

Speaking of truths or of what Is regarded as great wisdom seeks no appraisals .
