New owner for searchingforithaka.blogspot.
To owner of http://searchingforithaka.
Google has identified that Seraphin (with modified link) has been added as an owner of searchingforithaka.blogspot.
Property owners can change critical settings that affect how Google Search interacts with your site or app. Ensure that only appropriate people have owner status, and that this role is revoked when it is no longer needed.
Seraphin, that was the notification to me from Google to validate you truly are an owner so now you're as official as it gets.
That much handles the actual turnover but I need further review to discover whether there's any other resource which is mandatory to keep Ithaka running.
There are some utilities which fit in the Extremely Good to Have category but they're not mandatory.
GraphicConverter - about $75 or less and it's one of the most successful examples of shareware for the Apple platform due to its value, speed, and reliability. It's recommended because it performs many image editing tasks but without the sluggish behavior or tall expense of software such as Photoshop.
TextWrangler - zero cost text editing utility which is widespread across the Apple platform since it's fast, reliable, and does all the tasks you need short of a bulky and clunky word processor such as Microsoft Word.
In my view, that software is indispensable on any Mac regardless of its primary purpose but they're not absolutely required. The speed of those programs is excellent since they permit being abused insofar as they're used to perform whatever task and then they're just put away again.
There's a Fidjit widget in the sidebar and it doesn't show even a fraction of all the visitors but it's still kind of cool to run it. That one needs to replaced with another from the same site unless it's possible to change the associated email address in the existing one. More to come on that one.
Maybe you want to change Ithaka so it's more compatible with smartphones. There are many pre-baked Blogger formats and some number of them change the display to make smartphone-formatting the highest priority. Doing that, however, also throws out the sidebar and I haven't considered that alternative format since I haven't ever wanted to throw that one away.
I caution on tangling the re-formatting Ithaka since that carries more inherent risk than the majority of Blogger tasks. It's also possible to destroy the formatting when you find you have made a mistake and can't get back to where you were. Prior to doing anything of that nature, I don't just suggest backing up the entire blog with Blogger's utility in Settings since it would be foolhardy to skip it.
There are the elements which make up the sidebar and those can be treated independently since you will now see a screwdriver and wrench icon for each one at the bottom right corner for each widget. The icon is used to making settings changes to whichever widget you think needs adjustment and it's also used to the remove the widget altogether.
Those widgets make up a fairly substantial part of a Silas Directive so they need to be freely expendable. Some aren't so much supporting Ithaka as showing rather showing personal interests. The widgets for charities are specifically that since your causes may well be different. It's the same for the widgets for my CDs since they're much more whimsy than a true sales campaign.
You mustn't feel any constraint against removing one or more of them, particularly when widgets are the Blogger means for allowing flexibility without requiring knowledge of coding. Use that flexibility since your pursuit of a million reads mustn't be hampered by any artificial constrain on the flexibility imposed by me.
The dlvr.it Web site provides the utility function which transmits a notification to Twitter and/or any social network or other target when a new article is posted. The dlvr.it utility is free until you want more speed in the delivery system and it costs a five-ten dollar recurring monthly charge. That probably won't be important for speed until you're writing more than ten articles per day.
The biggest interest in dlvr.it is the ability to quickly target new systems for notification and that won't stop working so I don't really think there's a need to address the payment problem when I stop doing that. The utility becomes fantastically important when it's needed to change the targeting and that may arise if you choose to bypass Twitter to send the new article notification directly to Facebook. Currently that information is transmitted to Twitter where it will handle the notification to Facebook.
It would be so much better to go over this with you directly with the aid of a whiteboard which almost always helps in such a discussion. We don't have that freedom so I hope I have already already made it clear but please do contact me or possibly we can use Facebook if it's not clear yet.
The last which has significance for money is My Duck Soup since that carries an annual fee of about $120 but that's a lot to spend when one way it the site is used is as a server for images I use to beautify the Ithaka appearance and that starts with the banner at the top for Searching for Ithaka. Such personal images must be stored somewhere and they can't be stored within Ithaka so they're loaded from My Duck Soup.
My Duck Soup really isn't a matter of inheritance since it's been the personal Web site for Silas Scarborough since '95 and really wouldn't make sense as anything else. However, it serves those custom images to Ithaka and, thus, becomes important in that way.
That dependence is a problem but it might be best resolved by taking over the Web site and eating that cost since I understand you or another of the members of your own flying circus may well have need of such a site which is native on the Web without dependence on any other site.
It looks like this and dlvr.it are most likely candidates for some discussion via Facebook to determine your direction with that sort of thing. Yep, that will be the next move since it's likely the fastest way to get it done when no other medium is immediately suitable.
This list should now be comprehensive regarding any serious dependencies in Ithaka. There are only two which will need to be resolved now and Facebook looks like the way to get them moving forward.
More to come and yahoo since it doesn't look like much more will be needed to wrap that aspect of things.

Speaking as the resident Conservative Republican, welcome aboard, Seraphin! I look forward to seeing the direction you choose to take it.
