Thanks Bebi, but I've already got two blogs now, lol. I'm just trying to find out if I can list them both on my Wincustomize site, or if it's a one-or-the-other scenario. I'm sure I've seen more than one website listed on someone's Wincustomize site before now, but it may be something that could be done on a previous version of the site, and can't be done now.

[quote who="Jafo" reply="5" id="2992523"]Blogging ... Stardock has a site... JoeUser.com[/quote] I've set up a Joe User blog. Is it possible to list more than one website on your Wincustomize site? That way I can use my other blog for Art related stuff, and the Joe User for general rants and such.

I'm going to be somewhat lazy about this. The whole introduction thing isn't really my deal, and if I tried to do one in a more conventional way, I'd end up sounding like I'm running through a speech for introducing myself at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. So rather than go that route, I'm going to repost something that I've written before now for a different site. To keep it so I'm only being somewhat lazy, I'll add a little to the original as I go along. Ho

Microsoft may think it is catering to the app happy now generation, but there's millions of old school PC users who will not be at all impressed with the new format... especially if it is enabled by default. So unless Microsoft provides users the option to select their preferred G

I've never voted in my life. I once read a piece of graffiti that said "it doesn't matter who you vote for... Government wins!" It's always rang true for me, and it's never been truer than it is now. Still, if your proposing logic, Fuzzy, you've got my vote.

I just took the plunge and downloaded this. It seems pretty cool, except it doesn't seem to be reading my drives correctly.

Completely agree with all you've just said, Starkers (Reply #8). Prior to my present setup, I was running an Athlon 64 x2 5200 2.7Ghz (Brisbane), and it was doing fine for what I needed it to do. The only reason I replaced it was because I started having a problem where the computer would just shut off, and though I suspected it was probably the PSU I couldn't rule out other things, and didn't want to go through the whole process of elimination crap. So I got myself a nice new mot
