Seraphin, Specifics on Accounts Needed for Ithaka

Seraphin, these are the datasets or files required by Ithaka and are external to Blogger.  The article is dry and single-focused on the information.


URL:  dlvrit.com (link takes you to Hello page for starting new accounts)

Purpose:  distribution of notifications of new articles to social networks

Cost:  $10 monthly for their better and faster version

Value:  this is about the only form of advertising you have got and Google Search sends people here as well but the dlvr.it utility won't have any effect on that

Best Option:  create a new dlvr.it account under Seraphin

Need:  I consider it mandatory for a function I could not easily do otherwise.


The new account will do these things:

- you're immediately manager of it
- you choose which social networks should be targets
- your profile on Twitter, Facebook, etc is the target for your notifications

The way it works now is any notifications are sent to my Facebook wall and that doesn't serve you.  The notifications should go to your wall to do you any good toward getting them toward where your friends can see them.

After you have done the step for setting up your account, you will find one similar to this for setting up your social network targets.


In the first part of this sequence, you will have given dlvr.it the URL for Searching for Ithaka and that sets your primary account.  You can see the Add Social button to add connections to Twitter, Facebook, etc to send your notifications.

For the turnover, I'll need to take mine down so you can start yours.  In the moment, your best move is to take a look about dlvr.it to discover whether there is any problem which looks like it might be too big to surmount.  Then we can texty, texty to get it sorted.


URL:  myducksoup.com (My Duck Soup)

Purpose:  files needed for customization of Ithaka, mostly graphic, and must be accessible at all times but Blogger doesn't provide any space for that.  My Duck Soup is also commonly-used for link to Ithaca.

Cost:  $125 annually and sometimes but not often there are premium surcharges

Value:  large for the specific purpose of serving required files but otherwise it's a giant-size package of sentimental content regarding one Dream God.  There may be a better way for free somewhere else but I don't know of one.

Need:  in terms of the served files, it's high.  Otherwise the need is not so much.  It's paid up until May so there's no immediate action required but it's still best to get this decided fairly quickly and it's your call on whether to keep it.
