[Gothic BC] Buy Photos On-line

You can order photos that have been tagged as being of you or your friends (sorry, not just anybody can buy any photo.) And, of course, I don't have printable source files for the photos that are uploaded to the site from other photographers, so those are not available for purchase. If a photo is available for you to purchase you will see a "buy photo" link in the caption area.


A Theory

I'm pretty certain that anyone over thirty that uses a picture of themselves from high-school as their default facebook/mySpace/etc. profile picture/icon/avatar is less than fully satisfied with the way their life has turned out, most likely has a body-image problem, and feels constrained by external expectations of who they think they should be.

[Gothic BC] Private Forums

I've added new restricted-access forum areas to the forum. These include areas in the "Clubbing & Events" and "Relationships & Sexuality" forums that are only accessible by members with who have confirmed adult memberships, as well as an open-topic area just for registered members and another open topic area just for paid members and early adopters.


Logo Thoughts



I've been toying with a logo for my photographic endeavours. Opinions welcomed.

Logo Thoughts, Round 2



A second logo variation based on feedback from the previous one.


Things do Change Once You Get Married - Facebook Advertising, for Example...

One of the things I love about LiveJournal is that with my paid account I am not subjected to a barrage of irritating advertisements. On the flip-side though, Facebook's attempts at targeted advertising amuse the hell out of me.


Creating an RSS Feed from a Facebook Wall

I'm not the first one to run into this problem, but in searching around I couldn't actually find anyone who had actually bothered to solve the problem: how to get an RSS feed from a publicly accessible facebook wall. The facebook wall can either be a fan-page wall or a publicly accessible group's wall.


[Gothic BC] All Your News in One Place! (and looking for suggestions)

Why let something like non-existance get in the way?

Despite the fact that Facebook does not have RSS feeds for Wall posts, I've hacked my very own Facebook wall to RSS gateway and added RSS feeds from the Descent Sundays Facebook fan-page wall and the Rock and Roll High-School and Sin City group walls to the Gothic BC news aggregator so you can get all your news in one place - and I am looking for more things to add. So if you have any suggestions of publicly available Facebook groups and fan-pages, or other feeds to add, let me know!
