    Ways to List Links (Not Popularity Contests)

    In the past couple of days, I started fooling around with Bloglines – not to replace Blogrolling for keeping track of various sites I visit, but to make it easier to read more sites, more quickly. I felt a bit of concern over the fact that I basically had two identical blogrolls – and wondered if I’d commit a horrible blogging fox paws by dumping the duplicate entries in the Blogrolling list without first making the Bloglines one public. With me so far? Show of mice? Anyway, there were a few daily-read blogs that weren’t available for some reason via…

    What Not To Style

    Got a lot done today – actually, David got a lot more done than I did, but I did get some tidying done, David did some vacuuming (we lead such glamorous lives). Valentine’s cards were exchanged this morning – David got a new owner’s manual for his body. I tried to find an O’Reilly book on tantric seqs, but they seem not to have that title yet. There are no helpful pictures, but he says the “tips and tricks” sections are similar to other manuals he has. Heh. And yes, there was much incessant goofing around with the blog today,…

    My Linky Is Stuck

    The other night, the Blogrolling.com site was down for a second, and I lost the entire sidewall of the blog for a few minutes – it was just hacked away, then mysteriously reappeared later when they came backup. It was unnerving. However, it’s working mo’ betta now. A site to check out later in more depth: Topic Exchange (yes, I probably go to Technorati too often, too)

    Doot De Doot De Doodle

    Hmm. Various free/cheap Web graphics programs. I think I might qualify for some of these under the “Photoshop makes me break out in hives” rubric. Last night? Why, yes, there was hairpulling and swearing involved with my last tussle with Photoshop. 😉

    Style Vs. Substance

    Friday Feast #56: CSS, MT, Style Guides, TopStyle – Brainstorms and Raves- “Criminey, she’s at it again.” Yep, still toying with the idea of a 3 column layout. And cartooneys. More stuff to play with in my sandbox. Reminder: need figure out how to play in sandbox.

    Flagee and Friends

    Well, we’ll try this again – I wanted to have the index page display the flags and countries of visitors, but apparently all the plug-in can do is display flag and town/city, meaning a whole bunch of American flags, some Canadian, a fewBritish, and other countries’ flags in descending order. Yes, yes, I know that a good chunk of the “visitors” are either robots or spammers, but whats the hey, ya? I’d still really rather have just the one flag per country represented. Oh, well. I’m working on the next couple of entries for the travel journal (JEEZ, this is…

    Augh, What Fresh Hell Is This

    I know the blog is messed up – something about the last post. Dammit, dammit, dammit. And by the way? -8 degrees below zero plus wind makes it -27 degrees below zero wind chill. That’s negative twenty-seven degees below zero. I’ve got layers on layers. I’m off to discover the Midwest Pole, wish me luck!
