Says 161- Opera Blog Closing down, transfering to WordPress

MyOperaBloggingI got the notice on 2013 Dec 19, that Opera Blog will be closing down their blog site on March 1, 2014. That got me scrambling as I had nearly 900 posts on my Opera Blog. They recommended migrating to WordPress, and as I already had a WordPress account set up years ago, but wasn’t using, I decided to move the Opera posts to this site..
wordpress Unfortunately, when I logged in to my dashboard, and tried to view my site, I found that my account was suspended for violating the Terms of Service. That was weird as I only had 5 or 6 posts on it form years ago. While I couldn’t see my blog, I was able to start the process of importing my Opera XML files.
I then sent an email to WordPress, telling them what happened and what I wanted to do and waited to a email reply. I never got one, but this afternoon, I checked this site and low and behold, everything had been transferred. BIG weight off my shoulders… Thank you WordPress..

BTW, I had stopped using Opera back on Jan 22 2012, when I installed WordPress on my Website..

Says 143 – Safer Surfing – making snooping on you more difficult

startpageIt’s time to give Google and Yahoo search engines the boot….. Here are three search engines that protect your privacy while surfing that you can quickly add to your web browser.. Opera and Firefox provide safer surfing than IE (Internet Explorer) or Google Chrome..

Using Opera or Firefox along with one of these search engines is a good hedge against being being tracked and monitored…. Why make it easy for ISP’s, crooks and the government… Oh Golly Gee… . there is no difference ..:) lol

Dont track us
Yippy

ghostery
I forgot to mention a great little free software called Ghostery that you can install on your browser that notifies and blocks any trackers that try to follow you on any website that you happen to land on.. It’s surprising to see how many SNOOPS are out there trying to get info on you…
