No way to sync old history - this will just get new email from setup time forward.

Make sure you have IMAP enabled in Gmail - that may make a difference. Also if you're using 2-factor authentication, you'll need to use an app specific password that you generate.

When I enter my name (name@gmail.com) and password in the SMTP settings it will not verify. It keeps sying theusername and password are incorrect. But I know they are correct.

Re: 2014 Carbon Steel Basis vs. Fitbit Force: Same Day, Different Readings!

Haven't played with the Jawbones, so I'm not sure how they would compare.

Re: Publicize to Facebook not working? Check Yoast WordPress SEO!

Jon Westfall — Thu, 08 May 2014 11:33:37 -0000

The way I found that Wordpress SEO was my problem was by disabling all of my plugins and making a series of test posts to FaceBook (i.e. create a test post, see if it shows up on Facebook, delete if it does, etc...). By process of elimination I finally found it was Wordpress SEO, but you might have a different plugin interfering. I'd suggest doing that to see if another plugin is interfering.

My open graph has been turned on, everything is updated, I reconnected my Facbeook through publicize and it's STILL not working. I'm at a loss as to what to do and it's becoming frustrating. Even when I manually add the link to Facebook, nothing post except for the link itself. There aren't an accompanying images (or even choices), zero text- it's simply the link itself. Any suggestions? My site it http://junejohnson.co and my Facebook page is http://Facebook.com/TheJune...

I think basis help you to understand your internal activity like temp, sweating, sleeping time, heart frequency and use that to get a better idea about how those things are linked with your performance, to analyze those data and improve them on the sport activity, like "how many stress affect my lap time in the racetrack or in my crossfit training".

Thank you to take your time to do this comparison report.

Re: Blogging: Does frequency count?

Absolutely. I certainly suffer from the "shiny new object syndrome" where I'll do something and then stop. I think most people do. That said, I setup a private personal blog (a diary) and have written every day since setting it up. I'ts helped a lot and also helps with writing.

Re: Blogging: Does frequency count?

Jon Westfall — Fri, 21 Mar 2014 00:58:45 -0000

True, and I have done that in the past. It's interesting though that regularity is the norm for most traditional media and high traffic blogs, but should personal bloggers strive for that or bursts of passion? A point for debate.

You can always queue early posts when you've got a ton of motivation and then when that tapers off you've still got some pulling though?

Re: How Long Should a Fitbit One Sleep Wristband Last?

BatManBob — Sun, 02 Feb 2014 11:54:19 -0000

Both my sleep band and the belt clip wore out after less than a year, and are literally falling apart. Since I'm in the UK, the official replacement cost for each is £13 (about US$ 21 each + shipping); if I bought both, it would be about 33% of a new Fitbit One. Instead I am shopping for another product from another company. I refuse to pay that kind of money for what is essentially disposable merchandise.

Re: Migrate A Google Sites to a Google Apps Installation

Jon Westfall — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 13:21:20 -0000

If it’s just the website but no editing interface, try clicking on the “Log In” link at the very bottom of the page (In the Google Links section). That should let you log in as the new author and access the editing interface.

Re: Migrate A Google Sites to a Google Apps Installation

Nadine Schaubitzer — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:42:28 -0000

Hi Jon, I am trying to follow your instructions. I created a website for another google user under my personal google account and now I want to copy the site to his google apps account. I figure this is the only way, the domain will point to the site - it does not right now although I mapped it successfully. I invited the google apps user as you described and made him an owner of the site. I click on the link in the notification email he received and it brings me to the website but not to google sites. I cannot edit anything. Any advice?

Re: Using Mail Merge With Custom FROM: Addresses in Word/Outlook 2007 or Word/Entourage 2008

Spoons — Wed, 04 Sep 2013 23:53:49 -0000

Hi Jon,

I don't have a secondary account but I do have a 'send as/full permission' secondary account from Exchange. eg. Tools/Account Settings/Change/More Settings/Advanced/Add/exchangeaccountgoeshere/OK
Basically, she wants the merge to go FROM her alias/send as account rather than her primary but after doing the merge, she's not given a 'FROM' field in the Word "Merge to E-mail" box.

Any idea?

AWESOME.... NOT what I was looking for... Thanks

This doesn't work if you're using an 'added' secondary account from Exchange.

Really good, Jon! I'm from Brazil, and my english is not perfect, but I understood everything you said! I liked the way you express yourself, with humor :) It is a nice-to-read wall of text! :D

My router does not support WRT yet, but I have plans to buy a new one, and I saw the OpenWRT as an option. Do you think is possible to do all those cool things with OpenWRT too? Have you decided to use DD-WRT instead of OpenWRT for some reason?

And again, congratulations for the post.

Cheers

Re: Rolling a Google Reader Replacement with Yahoo! Pipes, Readability, & IFTTT

Unfortunately there is a cap with yahoo pipes. A very small cap (200 requests per hour). So yahoo pipes is not scalable.
