A necessary evil: some admin
Thursday, August 16th, 2007For some reason updates to this new site appear in bloglines and via email for my old site. Which means many of you may not have been bothered to change over and subscribe to this blog’s feed. And why would you when it still comes to you anyway? If DHL brought me a weekly delivery of chocolate cake and Brad Pitt I wouldn’t care if they changed to UPS. Not unless they started bringing me auto parts.
But - my old site will be disappearing before long so I urge you to subscribe to this blog’s feed now. I can promise you chaotic posts of a chaotic life. And if you haven’t subscribed before, why not try it now? You can always unsubscribe if it turns out my life is just a little too chaotic. (I frequently wish I could unsubscribe from my life but apparently it’s not possible.)
You can also subscribe via email if you prefer - just enter your email address in the box in the sidebar on the right. It’s all done via Feedburner and your address will not be used for spamming, I am heartily assured by the folks there.
Also, in preparation for the next Google sweep I would be eternally grateful if those of you who have linked to me in the past could be kind enough to update your blogrolls. Here is the title of this blog because that line in the middle of the two words is kind of tricky:
most | least
(On my keyboard the line looks like two vertical lines one on top of the other and is above the \ key, so I type Shift \ to get it.)
And on a related note, my blogroll will be returning as soon as I am out of the Google sandbox. Although sometimes it feels nice to be in here, just burying my head a little and, you know, not having to deal with three small children.

Monday, July 16th, 2007Welcome to my new blog. So what’s different here?
Well, I have finally decided to embrace Web 2.0. I know, it really hurt to do so because I am a technology-reject but I’m told that’s what everyone is doing nowadays so I have mastered plugins and other web 2.0 sundries. So there’s social bookmarking tags and links back to the top commenters and other lovely things that make reading blogs a social occasion and give you that warm and fuzzy feeling.
I have also adopted You Comment, I Follow: if you comment you will get a link back from my site. The nofollow attribute was originally put in place in most blogging platforms to prevent spam but I have a great spam catcher and I see no reason not to remove the nofollow attribute. So go ahead, comment!
Hopefully everything is working okay although a few old links may be broken. If you are seeing something that doesn’t display properly in your browser, please leave a comment and I will try to fix it.
Finally, don’t forget to subscribe to this blog’s feed. Or blogroll/bookmark it if that’s what you do.
Oh, and I’ll be attempting to post more frequently. So another post shortly!
