New Blog: Unfettered Clips
Exactly a month ago I started a new blog which I was working towards (on and off) for much of 2009 and of which I was first dreaming since exactly the time of this blog post, 2009-01-01. It has been and is a team effort as there is a group of people that took great effort to transcribe (and they still do) a lot of audio files and also Ken McLeod supports these projects and generously makes his material freely available to the public.
So what is it?
It's a kind of The Best Of Ken McLeod's teaching classes. Ken McLeod is a Western Buddhist teacher and author of the book Wake Up To Your Life (which is also available in audio form).
Personally I find his material full of wisdom, insight, and also practical value. A friend wrote about it: "I always think Buddhism indeed is among the wisest religions, or rather philosophies regarding the attitudes towards life. It is easy to understand, but also easy to forget. Thank you for reminding me these deep wisdoms. Ken McLeod did a very nice job in communicating these ideas."
Personally for me it is the other way around:), counter intuitive and difficult to understand, but once understood easier to remember. But maybe that's why I need a Western translator.
So I hope you enjoy this stuff:
Unfettered Clips & Quotes
QUOTATIONS AND AUDIO CLIPS OF BUDDHIST TEACHER KEN MCLEOD
Clips already posted and that I want to mention explicitly as I consider them especially important are the following three:
- Basic Skills
- Progression
- Manifesting Things
Cheers!

Remove Next Blog Button
The whole navigation bar at the top of a blogger.com blog is bullocks.
The only thing needed is the search form.
Initially I only wanted to get rid of the Next Blog button (guess why). As it turns out that is quite a popular request (oh, surprise), nevertheless Google does not seem to be very interested in making it easy to remove the Next Blog button.
Thought it is easy to remove the top navigation bar. So here I describe briefly how to disable the navbar (as described at many places) and a simple way to add back the search functionality, thought at a different location.
For comparison you can see the result at my other blog, The STOCK BLOCK. This blog you are reading right now should still have the default setup, as I haven't bothered to change it so far.
1. Disable NavBar in Blogger.com:
In blogger.com go to Template, Edit HTML, scroll down to the <body> tag and add beneath it the following code snippet:
<style type='text/css'>
#navbar-iframe {
visibility: hidden;
display: none;
}
</style>
2. Add search form in Blogger.com:
In blogger editing mode, goto Template, Page Elements, Add a Page Element, and select HTML/JavaScript. Now place the element where you like it and edit it and fill in the following HTML code:
<form id="searchthis" action="http://stockblock.info/search" style="display:inline;" method="get"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td valign="middle"><input id="b-query" name="q" type="text"/></td></tr><tr>
<td valign="middle" align="right"><input id="b-searchbtn" alt="Search This Blog" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/navbar/4/btn_search_this.gif" title="Search this blog" type="image"/>
</td></tr></table></form>
BTW, you might want to reverse the order of these two steps and add a new search form first before removing the navigation bar, in case something goes wrong:o).
On another note, here is a cool hack to turn the Navigation Bar on and off by the web site visitor of your blog:
show/hide the blogger navbar
