Howdy. We've moved from Cayce, but St. Elizabeth of South Rose Hill or Lizette de Waccamaw de Sud just don't do it for me.

Internet Finds & Miscellany

Rosie O'Donnell's Blog (read for the free verse)

Website for the Prince of Wales in Welsh

Newest Messiah Claimant: The Man Jesus Christ / JesuChristo Hombre
(More on this guy in a post I'm writing)

I'm planning to go see Ashley Cleveland again tomorrow night at Pavilion.

Finally, not a find but a realization: It's now been over a year since I last heard from the fine folks at St. Matthew's Churches (see their "Cathedral" this page: where is the address, anyway??)

I see that links that are properly formatted and that appear properly in preview mode still get butchered when published under the Google regime.

Perhaps one day they'll fix their coding. But I doubt it.

Where is the address for this building? Their "contact us" page gives an area code and a mailing address in Tulsa (and a link to a page explaining why this is so). Their home page says that the church is in Houston, and Google Maps pulls up a "Cathedral of Saint Matthew" with a familiar picture at:
9101 Airline Dr
Houston, TX 77037
(281) 820-1819

The Houston Press gives a bit of history and confirms the address.

Ole Anderson's televangelist-busting Trinity Foundation website has a few SMC-related links on their homepage.


In Plain Sight has a bit about them on their Tele-Evangelist Lifestyles page. (Search for the name James Eugene Ewing.)

Should I even mention that the BBB/Charities site Give.org gives CSM a failing grade?

Enough for now?

Having stubbornly persisted until I found what is causing the trouble, I can now reveal all.

Google's coding for showing a preview HANDLES THIS CORRECTLY. Google's coding for a published comment HANDLES THIS INCORRECTLY.

And what is "this"?

A url that ends with a forward slash in linked text.

If you type the start-of-link tag as "open-angle-bracket a href=URL forward-slash close-angle-bracket," the coding for published commands assumed that the "forward-slash close-angle-bracket" is a sort of null "close" tag.

So leave the "/" off the end of your URL or your comment will get butchered, even if it shows up properly in preview mode.

Go fig.

who hopes Google's bots flag this comment and someone at Google fixes the coding problem
