Ignore The Header

Thursday November 8, 2007
The other day, I glanced up and saw that the header at the top of my blog no longer said "Pagan/Wiccan Religion". Instead, it reads "Paganism/Wiccan".

After my initial Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moment, I shot off a quick email to Tech Support. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next couple of days. It should, clearly, read "Paganism/Wicca". Please bear with me while the Programming Fairies correct the error.

LOL! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moment! I will certainly remember that for future reference!

I was wondering about the header the other day. Glad to know you’re all over getting the situation remedied.

Blessings,

That’s fitting right in with the current political climate, Patti Darlin’. It’s Bravo Sierra and it just makes me wonder how far that pendulum has to swing before it gets back to some middle ground for us.

It’s so frustrating that we STILL have to fight for our beliefs to be recognized as religion.

Thank you for giving us a voice though, as well as a heads-up on Sierra like this. Your columns mean a great deal to us.

Love and Blessed Be.

I never even noticed the change in the header. I’ve been too busy being disgusted by the itshisstory.com ad on the top of the page, you know that one with “Jesus has a free gift for you.” I bet they wounldn’t advertise a pagan site on a Christian or Muslim site.

Oh, that’s priceless! I haven’t actually seen that one, I usually get ads for The Magickal Cat and Alamo Rent-a-Car.

Believe it or not, there’s no anti-Pagan plot at play here with the Jesus ad. Most of our ads are randomly generated, based upon certain keywords that appear on the web page. Which means if I write a blog post with the words “Jesus”, “church”, and “preacher” in it, the software can plug in an ad for church-oriented stuff because it assumes (wrongly) that we’re interested in it.

I just hit Refresh about twenty times, trying to get the Jesus one to come up, but no luck. I’m going to email my editor and let her know that this one is appearing, though, and see if there’s any way we can prevent it. Just because it’s random doesn’t make it any more appealing :)

Thanks for the heads up!
