Problem solved

Jerry — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:07:48 +0000

Over the past few days I’ve received a few messages stating that some readers could not view the actual post content on this site. It took a bit, but it boiled down to an error in Internet Explorer that caused that section of the pages to load improperly. (We’re not getting in to how stupid a parse-error this was, mind you.)

While browsers such as Firefox and Safari simply ignored the issue and displayed the pages properly, Internet Explorer, for some obtuse reason known only to the … [visit site to read more]

Out with the new, in with the True

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was completely disenchanted with the new theme I designed for Cooking, by the seat of my Pants! After just a few weeks of looking at This:

I had determined that it simply wasn’t going to work for this blog, … [visit site to read more]

What was I thinking? A call for help.

Jerry — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 18:43:50 +0000

Have you ever worked your tail off on something for weeks, really pouring your heart, soul and creative juices into a project just to come back to it a few weeks later and say:

What the hell was I thinking?

Yeah. That’s me right now.

When I decided to update the look and feel of Cooking, by the seat of my Pants! last month, I was awestruck by the theme I built for my wife and determined that it would be a perfect for this site. I wanted to simplify … [visit site to read more]

Gearin’ up for the sweet stuff

Jerry — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:00:35 +0000

Well folks, it’s that time of year again. parties, gatherings, family, friends and food are the order of the day for the next month and a half or so. The holidays are here, and here at CbsoP, we’re gearing up for the whole thing, both sweet and savory. It’s looking like there will be a flurry of recipes posted over the next week. Way more than my usual. I hope none of them get lost in the shuffle.

Dessert recipes are on the menu for the next few days. With Turkey day and thanksgiving … [visit site to read more]

One Hundred Thousand and Counting!

Jerry — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 14:59:08 +0000

October was a banner month for this little slice of the Internet tht I call CbsoP. last month I topped the 100,000 unique visitor mark, with nearly 200,000 pageviews! it’s really something special, especially since this blog is not yet two years old.

So to all of you who have topped by over the course of my ramblings, Thank You! To my regular readers, thanks as well. Without you this would feel like work, instead of the adventure that it is for me each and every day! I love you … [visit site to read more]

What are your thoughts?

Jerry — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 04:07:54 +0000

halloween is just around the corner, and I’ve got a slew of recipes coming for that over the next few days, but that leaves us dead in the middle of the Holiday season, a topic I covered pretty thoroughly last year. What’s a blogger to do?

“Why,” I said to myself, “I’ll ask my readers if there are things that they would like to see!”

And it sounded like a grand idea.

so, dear readers and fellow food bloggers, are there any particular recipes you’d like to see tackled? Any recipes … [visit site to read more]

Wow

Jerry — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 17:36:24 +0000

OK, that was scary. I apologize if there were a few minutes when the site was unavailable. Upgrading will do that sometimes. As far as I can tell, most of the site is working properly now. I’ll be working to get the rest back up ASAP. If you spot an issue, please contact me at jerry (at) cookingbytheseatofmypants (D0t) … [visit site to read more]

The ongoing saga of…

Jerry — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 19:46:04 +0000

If you’re a regular visitor you’ve probably already noticed that I’ve shaken the look of the place up a bit again. There shouldn’t be any surprise in that, since I’d already said I was compelled to do so in an earlier post.

As usual, I waxed impatient and just had to get this template up today, so expect to see some shifting around of topics, menus … [visit site to read more]
