As the Earth Spins 'round.

In my never ending attempt to improve my assorted web pages, I've managed to learn a little trick using GIMP.
From time to time, I've fooled around with little satirical news reports - attributed to Internet News Network (I.N.N.) and subsequently posted onto dumaguetecity.net. One such example is my Nashville Woman Injured In Cop versus Donut Truck Chase web page.

Up to this point, I had been using an image of a globe as the I.N.N. logo. The original is seen below.



Fooling around with GIMP today, I've figured out how to turn the original logo into a spinning globe, and create two globe logos spinning in opposite directions. Those two globes are below.





The new logos have already made their way onto the page linked to above. As I write this, I haven't yet put the new I.N.N. logos on all the I.N.N. pages.That's work for another day.

Dumaguete Website on Google Plus.



I received an email from one of the companies with which the website s an affiliate. - Hotwire.com.

The email was to inform me that Hotwire would soon disconnect their affilation with Linkshare and if I wanted to stay with Hotwire, I'd need to sign with another program. I attempted to do just that, but the company working with Hotwire (impactradius) would not accept my application.

I sent an email to the Hotwire rep, letting her know about my correspondence with impactradius and my decision to remove all Hotwire ads from my website, not waiting until the official transfer date. Removing all their ads was no picnic, but it's done.

On another note, I've one of my Google email accounts to set up "Dumaguete City" on Google+, which I'll be using to upload photos and promote this blog - which in turn, is being used to promote my website.

The link to the Google+ account can be found here.
