Ryan In J-School

I'm a student at Columbia School of Journalism in New York City. I created this blog on the off chance that anyone will be interested in keeping up with what I'm doing in J-School. It may or may not be mildly interesting. We'll see how it goes.

Mysterious

I was attempting to look at my blog today, but I typed the URL incorrectly. Instead of "Ryan in J-school," I typed "Ryan in in J-school" -- and for some reason, got to this weird site:

"Abundant Bible -- A mega-site of Bible, Christian and religious information and studies. By God's mercy, one of the largest Bible-centered sites on the web (app. 6000 pgs). If it's in the Bible, it should be on this site."

What the? Why would the largest Bible site have a URL of ryanininjschool.blogspot.com? Who's Ryan? What's the J-school referring to (Jesus school?)? And what's with the two "in"s? It doesn't even look like a Blogger page. So strange.

At least I now have one-stop shopping for pearls of wisdom like this:

"If a person has on a pair of sunglasses called "lying," he may think all people lie at one time or another. If a person has on a pair of sunglasses called "adultery," he may think everyone commits adultery at some time in their life. If a person has on a pair of sunglasses called "rejection," many things that happen to him he will label as rejection, even though it is not true. He sees through a pair of red sunglasses called "rejection" that distort the truth."

My classmate Bo has figured out what's going on. Very crafty. Well play, BlogPsot, Well played. From Bo's comments on the last post:

"Look at the url carefully, it is not blogspot.com, it is blogpsot.com The page you saw actually was the homepage of blogpsot. Whatever you put in front of blogpsot.com, it automatically directs to www.blogpsot.com. Technically, it is very easy to do that.It seems that you had two typos, apart from putting another "in," you also typed blogpsot instead of blogspot.so to be fair to the largest bible-centered sites, it is not a blogspot webpage, it has its own url!"

Apparently, I'm not the first to have had this problem.

The page you saw actually was the homepage of blogpsot. Whatever you put in fron of blogpsot.com, it automatically directs to www.blogpsot.com. Technically, it is very easy to do that.

It seems that you had two typos, apart from putting another "in," you also typed blogpsot instead of blogspot.

so to be fair to the largest bible-centered sites, it is not a blogspot webpage, it has its own url!
