Anonymous asked: Why is this a poor rip off www.575haikus.tumblr.com?
I’m not certain I understand if anyone is ripping anyone off.
575.tumblr.com has been in existence for about 2 1/2 years (longer if you count a short hiatus) and posts haikus inspired by a creative commons image (all by the same author on a daily basis).
It looks like 575haikus.tumblr.com is a bit newer, doesn’t use pictures for inspiration, and posts twice a week.
Other than being a haiku site, I don’t see how either site could be considered in any way to rip off from the other.

wehshi asked: Hi Haiku 575, How did you positioned Google Friend Connect(GFC) to the left Side of your page??
Because My my GFC appears on Left Top Corner of my Page which is very annoying. I wan to position it to right side of my Tumblr main Page.
Thank You
Regards,

A little off the subject from haiku, but here you go…
I created a backup copy of my template. I went in to the option to customize the site, went to pages, and added a new page called /friends. I set up the new page as a custom html page. I pasted in the backup copy of my template file in and then added the bits of Google code for Friend Connect options I wanted to use.
That’s about it. About the only other thing to check is to see if your template as a block for pages defined:
{block:HasPages}
{block:Pages}
<li><a href=”{URL}”>{Label}</a></li>
{/block:Pages}
{/block:HasPages}
If that doesn’t answer it, maybe you should look into the <div> tag.

Anonymous asked: You are aware that what you are writing isn't pure haiku, right?
Yes, I am aware that the syllable structure of 5-7-5 is a poor English translation from the original Japanese structure for a haiku. I know that I am technically allowed to use fewer syllables if I like (and in fact fewer syllables will more likely approximate the Japanese moras). However, I am sticking with the 17 syllable “expected” English version more as a means of imposing a constraint on my writing as this actually helps me creatively.
I am aware that haiku traditionally have a theme of nature involved and provide some clue as to the season (kigo). Sometimes I have such a clue in my haiku, sometimes not. Given that my subject matter is picture inspired, and the fact that I am not a traditionalist, I don’t feel that it is always required.
I do try to include a cutting word or phrase (Kireji) to shift the focus of the haiku, but I am doing more “free form” haiku, so your mileage may vary.
