So as far as wrestling goes, I haven't been much taken with WWE's current incarnation of ECW, which is really ECW in name only (wow, I sound like a disgruntled old-school Battlestar Galactica fan) compared to the original incarnation. But I did watch this week to see the (excellent) title match between Christian and Zack Ryder, and found myself drawn in by the show's theme song.

It's called Don't Question My Heart (link to YouTube). Now, I've barely made any progress on my alleged first vid yet, but this song really speaks to my inner Lord King Bad Vidder. The only problem is that it's suitable for so many shows and characters -- how to choose just one?

So listen to the song, and tell me which vid you see in your head.

...and if anyone wanted to make one of these vids, I could steer you to a copy of the song. Just saying.

See previous entry for context & explanation.



ETA: ...er, the second option should read "Block Google searches; allow...".

Last week Dreamwidth implemented a search-your-own-journal feature for paid users and paid communities. So I can search my old posts (but not the comments), but as of right now I can't search other people's journals.

I've never blocked search engines on LiveJournal or Dreamwidth, so I regularly use Google to find old posts in my journal that I want to reread or link back to by searching for "cryptoxin [keyword(s)]". This is particularly valuable for me because I don't have a good tagging system for my posts.

Dreamwidth is also considering implementing site-wide search of public posts as a feature for paid users. They're looking for feedback, including whether to implement it on an opt-in or opt-out basis. One suggestion supported by several commenters for when the feature is rolled is to set the default preference to match each user's setting for offsite search engines. That is, if you've opted to minimize your journal's inclusion in public search engine results (e.g. Google), the assumption would be that you're also opting out of DW's site-wide search unless and until you change your DW site-search preference.

So what would best describe your searchability preferences? For 'Google search' read 'external search engines'; for sitewide search, it only applies to your public posts, and is only available to other journal users. Sadly, my attempts to create a poll in DW are failing, so let's try a manual version ETA or see next entry for a functional poll:

A. Block Google search AND block sitewide search by other users

B. Block Google search BUT allow sitewide search by other users

C. Allow Google search AND allow sitewide search by other users

D. Allow Google search BUT block sitewide search by other users


Bonus question: if you would opt to block both external and internal searches, are your reasons or privacy concerns the same in both cases, or different?

Hey, I can make polls! So tell me where to find you in the Heavenly Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge.
