I need help. Check this (not)link [http://www.geocities.com/secretarydiary/archives/170402.html](http://www.geocities.com/secretarydiary/archives/170402.html) for plan A.

Now check this (not)link [http://www.geocities.com/secretarydiary/](http://www.geocities.com/secretarydiary/) .

Sorry that most of the content is missing. I’m constantly having to hide the majority of the archives from prowling bosses.

Anyway, the response has been crap (oh, I wonder why). Please make suggestions! I’ll put the funniest or most evil up next week.

Moderators - help: can I cut and paste any responses here or do you own them? Don’t want to get into trouble.

Thanks antone who bothers.

Steve.

I am a bit confused as to what kind of information you want.  
suggestions about what? about the site layout? the information?  
are you looking for other people’s stories?  
😕

Ok. Sorry.

Check the first link. It outlines the distress my new boss is causing me. There is a link on that page to plan A - disposal of said boss.

Check the second link. I am asking for suggestions for plan B.

You know, every thread I ever started has ended up like this…

Link to plan A does not work.

Plan A goes to a “file not found” for me.

Btw, you could update your site easier by using [LiveJournal](http://www.livejournal.com). You can just use it as-is (free) or embed it into your site (paid account only) using a simple javascript tag. It lets you post updates from a little program that sits on your desktop… no actual fussing with the html files at all.

Here are some examples of embedding journal entries in a site:

[http://fff.fathom.org](http://fff.fathom.org) – “headlines only” embedding (just below the “Site News” section)

[http://fff.fathom.org/journal-friends.php](http://fff.fathom.org/journal-friends.php) – full journal embedding

[http://www.opalcat.com/diary](http://www.opalcat.com/diary) – full embedding again
