Resolved Issue with FeedBurner Headline Animator not coughing up the code

For any newb that has just gotten FeedBurner..I will be doing a review on it later..but first..

I read a post or two (that was never resolved) about how a couple of users were using the headline animator (an awesome feature) to create feed widgets.  The problem was that while trying to get the code, the next button wasn' t working, thus not directing the user to the page where the code can be gotten...

If you are having this problem..I found a fix/workaround whatever..

Yes, it's irritating..but it works..on the page/tab called Publicize, click on the size animator you were working on...when it shows up..look at the part that says add to...and then there is a dropdown menu..my personal choice is always "just gimme the code".......look up to the page url..

It will look something like this:

http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/headlineanimator?w=2&id=random numbers here

Still with me?  Easier than I write it I swear!

Cursor over to the spot right after the "r" in animator and right before the "?"...Then insert "/install" nothing else and no, not in bold lol

Then hit enter and it will take you to the page where you can get the code and the darn button works!

There may be an easier way but I'm proud to have figured this out on my own so there *sticks out tongue childishly*

Photobucket Sucks

This is going to be a 'Douche of the Day' award post that I usually do on my Wordpress blog . I was a happy Photobucket user for 11 years.  That's a long time to stick with a service so they were obviously a good one.  I was completely happy with the services provided on my free account and a couple of times, I made use of the print store in order to make custom gifts for loved ones for various occasions. Then all of a sudden, in 2017, they start sending me nagware. For those unfamiliar, nagware consists of popups/emails/messages etc that 'nag' you to buy their product. It's irritating, true, but not a deal breaker since I had a free account.  I just unsubscribed to the nagmails and just put up with it on the site. Then, however, Photobucket decided to do something I consider to be truly despicable. They made it to where you CANNOT download your photo albums (for backup or for account changes).  They actually REMOVED the download album links.  Why is that p...

Favorite File Manager for Windows 7

Most people that use Windows tend to just use Windows Explorer as their file manager. A vast number of people likely don't even realize that there are other options.  Windows Explorer is painfully limited in features, especially lacking the tabs that 95% of file managers utilize.  In my line of work, I have to compare, browse, edit, move, delete and rename vast numbers of files.  Windows Explorer just can't handle the task. I ended up using FreeCommander file manager, which had all the features I was looking for with extensive customization options for the user interface and a built in viewer that could be used inside the window I was working on.  That was actually the most difficult feature to find as I discovered later. After a while though, I became very frustrated with FreeCommander's 32 bit free version.  It became slow and often froze.  So I decided to comparison shop, so to speak.  My requirements were few but necessary: I had to be able to c...
