Some credit card news about Chase credit cards and other credit cards.
Sometimes I forget that the little plastic credit cards in my pockets carry so much corporate weight in the world. Credit card companies are huge with thousands of employees and complex software systems. I do enjoy reading what goes on in the back ground.
It's interesting that JPMorgan Chase & Co., is one of Delaware s largest private employers. Who would have thought that the credit card industry would take over manufacturing, wholesaling etc as far as employers go.

American Express Canada - The Canada Council For The Arts Announces Finalists For The 2006 Governor Gen...
Blog Post Date: Oct 17 2006
It's nice to see that American Express Canada gets involved in the arts and culture in Canada. I guess it's to their benefit as their clients use their American Express Canada cards to buy tickets to the theater, rent a cars, air line tickets etc.
The people that use American Express in Canada use their Amex cards to gain Air Miles points for these arts and entertainment purchases which in essence double their benefits. You gotta love more and more credit card benefits.

Technorati Ping Update My Problems Fixed
Blog Post Date: Oct 15 2006
TECHNORATI SLOW LATELY?
I was going to start a rant about how long it's taking for http://www.technorati.com to update my pings and my blog.
I did some checking on my blog and realized that I had missed two things lately as I've been reformatting my site:
1) My RSS.xml was slightly broken and wasn't showing properly. I got a book on XML and then quickly fixed the wrong formatting of my blog.
2) After doing a bunch of work on my site, I must have dropped my javascript link that technorati provides.
Even though I was pinging technorati like crazy, these were two major problems that I needed to solve before they're going to index me.
I am currently at
URL: http://www.express-marketing.com/blog.html
Updated: 185 days ago
I will keep looking for errors that I've caused and report back.
I noticed that ProBlogger.net was having the same problem. It appears that he's fixed his problem as his blog is getting nicely updated.
UPDATE: I just read on Technorati Help the following:
It looks like my blog is updating to you, but my posts aren't appearing correctly. How can I fix this?
The spiders that are picking up your posts might be having trouble parsing the data in your blog and identifying your posts. You can add additional code to your blog to better identify your individual posts by adding permalinks and rel="bookmark" to your post titles. For example, add the rel="bookmark" and permalink code so it looks more like:
POST_TITLE
Making these changes will also help your visitors subscribe to your blog and find the permanent location of your blog posts. You can refer to our Publishers Guide for more information.
I'm going to try rel="bookmark" and see how it works.

Credit, History Of Credit, Pawn, Loans
Blog Post Date: Oct 11 2006
When you think of nursery rhymes, what comes to mind? Certainly not credit or credit cards, pawning, etc., I'm willing to assume. Throughout the ages, nursery rhymes, which were often traditional stories or poems, were used by parents to teach young children the basics in math, dancing, languaage, etc. One of the most popular nursery rhymes was Pop Goes The Weasel. Though there are many versions of this rhyme the one listed below is about pawning and credit.
All around the mulberry bush,
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun.
Pop! goes the weasel.
A penney for a spool of thread,
A penney for a needle.
That's the way the money goes.
Pop! goes the weasel.
Up and down the City Road,
In and out of the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes.
Pop! goes the weasel.
Half a pound of tuppenney rice,
Half a pound of treacle,
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! goes the weasel.
Pop Goes The Weasel dates back to England 1700's. This rhyme is made up of mostly Cockney slang created by the Cockney people themselves due to their suspicious nature and their slang was used to confuse outside people. Both pop and weasel is slang - Pop meaning to pawn and weasel is derived from "weasel and stoat" meaning coat. People would pawn their suit or coat when times were hard. They usually pawned their coat on a Monday and claimed it back before Sunday. This is where the term came from "Pop goes the Weasel".
The Eagle refers to 'The Eagle Tavern' a pub which is located on the corner of City Road and Shepherdess Walk in Hackney, North London. The Eagle was an old pub which was re-built as a music hall in 1825. Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was known to frequent the Music Hall. It was purchased by the Salvation Army in 1883 ( they were totally opposed to drinking and Music Halls). The hall was later demolished and was rebuilt as a public house in 1901.

CSS To RSS XML Feed Styling RSS CSS
Blog Post Date: Oct 02 2006
After beating my head against my stack of books and the internet trying to figure out CSS for my websites, I decided to break down and buy some new CSS books. I got the Wrox book "Beginning CSS - Cascading Style Sheets for Web Design" by Richard York, and "CSS Mastery" by Andy Budd. After reading the first few chapters in these books I started to understand the fundamental concept of "Cascading".
These are superb books and I do recommend them.
I noticed that people are creating style sheets for their XML documents.
I was just wondering if anyone reading has created an style sheet for their xml RSS feed document and WHY?!! you would do so?
