    Go Inn Style - (Changed from Get Inn Listed) [moved from resources]

    Maybe Donald Trump is trying a hand a innkeeping.

    I found out what that X-Mapping cookie was. It has to do with my host's load balancing and it should not be a problem. I'm sure Google is smart enough that when it sees 301 status and Location that it can see that a permanent redirect is happening. They're starting to index some pages on the new...

    Thanks for shedding some light on this. I didn't know Google picked up on redirects so quickly (now I do!), but I can see what you mean about something fishy with the headers. That cookie is ESPECIALLY strange on the index, because the script is as simple as this. Weird. <? header("HTTP/1.1 301...

    Yeah, that stuff is really good. I can't find it locally anymore though.

    And... I was up at 5 AM looking at the radar during a storm last month. As soon as the Tornado sirens went off, my first thought was POST A FACEBOOK STATUS UPDATE! I didn't do it, but still I think it shows that social media can have a negative effect on the brain. Or maybe it's just my brain.

    Facebook

    Facebook is love/hate, huh? I signed up a few years ago then got sick of the shallowness and wasted time, then signed up again later because I couldn't resist the ability to know and see what eeverybody is up to (and to satisfy my own narcissism of course). Somebody just told me 5 seconds ago...

    This is just to say that we spent the week cleaning up the directory. About two-thirds of the older/smaller listings were removed. Some were probably okay but most of them were as pathetic as some of you said they were which was pretty embarrasing. We then hand-checked the 1,800 that remained to...

    It works fine for most people but I agree with "one shouldn't have to do that". We have in the To Do to see how we can make submissions frustration-free for everybody. More about this on Page 1: https://www.innspiring.com/node/4161#comment-49097

    Sorry for the frustrations. I removed latitude and longitude from the Add form. It opens in a new window which I think is throwing people off. US and CA shouldn't need to worry about that since our system can geocode most addresses automatically. It will still be available on the Edit form in...

    That sounds delicious! :) We add turmeric powder to our tofu scramble to make it look more egg-like (and all other kinds of seasoning so that it doesn't taste like crap).

    Microsoft seeks stay in Word patent dispute - news

    There is OpenOffice which is free and somewhat decent (better every year anyway). It's a substitute for Word, Excel, etc. I don't think it can open docx files (last I checked) and it does have some hiccups, but it really is usable and has a huge portion of the features that the MS products do. I...

    Look at this (Melissa's Soyrizo): http://www.melissas.com/Products/Products/Soyrizo.aspx There's probably nothing better in my opinion than soyrizo and avocado inside of a crispy white flour tortilla. Probably has 100 grams of fat but at least it's cholesterol free. :P Nope, just getting...

    Good point, I was thinking "who wouldn't want free promotion" but I was wrong. Makes me realize all the more that I need to build this site's data from ground up with innkeepers adding their own listings. Credibility with innkeepers is as important as usefulness for inngoers.

    Your redesigned site looks great. Thank you for the list of B&B's. I am hoping that given enough time a large portion of B&Bs will find and add themselves to our site. If that doesn't end up going well I may need to carve out some time to add more myself (although interestingly some innkeepers...

    Yep, www.bedandbreakfastbrowser.com is the old domain, going back about four years. Its pages 301 redirect to www.bbbrowser.com as you can see here http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=site%3Awww.bedandbreakfastbrowser.com. You caught the old site with a broken database which stopped the redirects...

    I just chopped a huge chunk of the database off. I removed about 3,000 questionable listings. They were the ones we do not have website or email for. In the coming week we'll visit the website of each B&B remaining in our database to verify that 1) they are open and 2) they are a B&B. This...

    I'm glad you like it. We're pretty confident about the system but as you know the info is what we need to focus on now. Haha, the first two people I showed the spaw icons too has hilarious things to say but I decided to go live with it just to see what people's reactions would be. Now that I...

    If you can point me to those I would appreciate it. Most of our data is four years old and came from spidering the web plus manual review. Unfortunately there is outdated information. What I may do is once a bulk of inns have submited/updated their listing is purge the older ones. We've had a...
