Homebrewing Blog

[brettwasbtd]

I just discovered that my sidebar list of other homebrewing blogs has disappeared! Every blog that I had listed there has been erased!!! WTF??

I'll try to repopulate it, but it was cobbled together piecemeal over the years and was the only record I kept of the other blogs I visited regularly.

Hmmm, didn't happen to try to set your blogger site up on another domain? I tried to do that and it removed the blog roll so i reverted back. Not sure why and didnt have time to figure it out

New brewer here, on my second beer. Started a blog after my first brew.

Interesting. I actually just pulled it OFF a separate domain (I don't feel the need to keep paying a monthly fee to host it when blogger works just fine). Everything else is ok...I wonder why the blog roll has such an issue.

Another blog here, accidentalis.com - just trying to have fun with it!


Cheers, Matt

In an effort to keep my fellow homebrewer's blog list up-to-date and useful I will be removing the following blogs unless you responds specifically requesting to stay on. The following blogs have not posted new content in 2013:

Adventures in Homebrew - http://adventuresinhomebrew.wordpress.com/
Cramped Space Brew - http://crampedspacebrew.blogspot.com/
Hollis Brewing Co - http://hollisbrewco.blogspot.com/
Morgan River Brew - http://morganriverbrewery.wordpress.com/
Brew Me a Cold One - http://condobrew.blogspot.com/

Happily Hopped - http://happilyhopped.wordpress.com/

The rest of these haven't posted for 6 months, and although I wont be removing them - if any of these are your blogs maybe you will start posting again?

Be Here Brewing - http://beherebrewing.blogspot.com/
In House Brew Blog - http://inhousebrew.weebly.com/index.html
The Hopyard - http://thehopyard.blogspot.com/
Time Wasted - http://timewasted.net/
Friendly Acres - http://fabrewing.blogspot.com/
Coal Cracker - http://coalcrackerbrewing.blogspot.com/
Viking Ales - http://vikingales.com/
The Beer Connection - http://www.thebeerconnection.net/

Hopefully no one is offended by this! My blog list has just become ridiculously long and when over 50% of the blogs are very inactive I am deciding to trim it down. I do understand everyone gets buys - its been two months since I posted. But I think if you haven't post in this calendar year (10 months) you are probably no longer active in the beer blogging world!

Havent pimped out my blog on HBT in a while. So here it is. http://atomicdonkeybrewing.blogspot.com/ Its been well over a year since I have. Take a look, leave a comment or two, and pass it along if you get the chance. CHEERS!

 

[RhodySeth]

Looks good, 1st Timer. Nice clean presentation.

People can check out my blog in my signature. The primary focus is trail running but my brewing posts have become more frequent...and are some of the most popular ones.

 

[1stTimer]

That's pretty damn cool. Im a runner and love trail running. I've actually been more of a hiker the last 7 or 8 years. Section hiking the App Trail the last few years. Incredible.

I have a much more simple version, I don't have anything as grand as what you do, but I used to mark out my recipes, not sure I want to keep doing that

[bredle]

I am blogging at www.boykingbrewhaus.com. It's a newer blog and I hope to focus on brew days, techniques (as I refine them), and other brewing related topics. I've also posted some recipes there and hope to keep doing that as I develop them!

 

[JLem]

I'm in the middle of my apparently annual fall blogging (and brewing) slump...should pick back up once the semester is done and all my grading is done!

I posted about this earlier in this thread, but it appears to be happening again. For all of you using Google/Blogger/Blogspot - are you having trouble with your pictures disappearing? I was originally having this issue when I would add a picture and use the "Choose picture from Picasa Web Album." To get around this I would go to the image in Picasa I wanted to add, right-click and save the image URL, and then use the "add picture from URL" option. Now it looks like the reverse is happening - using the URL option my pictures are not appearing, but if I add them via the Picasa Web Album it works...very frustrating!

Circling back around to this as it is consistently happening to me, and at random. I found another blogger here with this issue and his tip to fix. I have investigated further and it appears the image links are all pointing to some sort of a subdomain and start with some variation of x.bp.blogspot.com, where x is a number. I just made a new post on sunday night and this morning the images were not appearing. I changed the 3 in 3.bp.blogspot.com to a 2 and it showed up. I then also confirmed the other bloggers tip of entering lh5.googleusercontent.com instead. All of these seem to work. It appears to me that there is just a very high level of unreliability on these (duplicate) servers of google.

This is really making me want to switch to a wordpress site hosted on my own web server. I have been avoiding it cause I didn't want to have to recode a new site (time constraints) but the pictures are a pretty big part of our blogging and this unreliability is getting on my nerves. Hope this tip helps anyone out there!

Try Joomla, turnkey.org has a linux distro you can add that is literally plug and play. You just have to tweak the open ports to lock it down a bit but it works fairly well.

I never knew this thread existed, fairly new blogger here, Ive been going since May. I've taken inspiration from some of the big bloggers out there as far as the way I post. I brew mostly Saisons, IPAs, and mixed fermentation beers.

Ive been waiting for my wife, a graphic designer, to spruce up my layout a bit.

+1 for hosting your own Wordpress. I know transitioning is no fun but it is so much easier and less headache. I've used both Joomla and Wordpress, and Wordpress is far easier and less time consuming for blogging.

It's been a long time since I've pimped my blog. The blog has been up for over a year and is doing well. Updates are regular and will continue to be so. Check it out: http://www.thepourreport.com

Thanks! In college I dabbled in web development and we had to make sites with joomla. I think for my purposes it is just a little too much. As bredle said, it will be a pain, but once its setup should be easier. After working 9 hours a day at a computer the last thing I want to do is spend more hours coding a website

I could've sworn you were on my blogroll, but looks like you weren't! I have added you (back?)

That's the hardest part, the setup, but after that it works like a charm and can be expanded to anything you want. Wordpress didn't do everything I wanted. To each their own.

I do have a program called Artisteer which allows me to create templates for both Joomla and Wordpress

Cool, thanks for the add. I did the same.

Too much crap on my site... now where to add a crosslink...

All this new blogging activity has inspired me to get off my a$$ and post something new myself - just in time for winter, tasting notes from my autumn brown ale!

http://brewbybrew.blogspot.com/

I expect several more posts to follow after New Years - once I have a little time to brew!

 

[homebrewdad]

I kept meaning to post a massive blog entry about my Oktoberfest (complete with tons of pictures), but life got so hectic that I didn't do it. Then, I felt guilty, and ended up avoiding the blog for three months. Durr.

Anyway, I have finally made a new entry, this one concerning my next beer (an oatmeal toffee stout). Please feel free to shoot any feedback my way.

New post up, a clone of Prairie 'Merica, might be the best beer I've ever brewed.
