I am not a developer. I’m a writer with just enough technical knowledge to be dangerous. So there’s probably a lot I don’t know about creating blogging software. I’m not the guy who builds the platform. I’m the guy who comes goes comes in, redecorates, adds some content, and makes […]
It’s been a while since I did one of my “blogging about blogging” posts, partly because the whole “A-List” discussion thread was getting kinda tiresome, but also because I just hadn’t felt like it. Maybe I just haven’t cared as much lately.
So, Even when part one and part two of Dave Sifry’s latest “State […]
Don’t worry, you’re in the right place. In the process of upgrading to a new version of the theme I was using, I obliterated a number of the customizations I’d implemented. Since I’d been playing around with the theme you’re looking at now (on another site where I test drive themes & plugins), I […]
If you’re reading this, then it means that I once again have unfettered access to this blog. As usual, after I finish ranting and raving, someone has figured out the problem. Namely, one of our resident tech gurus at work. It actually looks like it was a series of issues — on my home computer, […]
Well, the glass is half empty or half full, depending on how you look at it. The blog access problem seems to have been solved at home (given my past experience, I have little faith that the solution will hold), but not at the office. So the window for posting anything (without […]
Update: The problem appears to be fixed for the moment. Time will tell.
This blog may be dead to me. My ISP continues to have network problems, so I can’t reach it from home. Now, apparently, I can’t reach it from work either. I can post to it, though some backdoor access I have set […]
Can you see this? Because I can’t. My ISP is having network issues, so I can’t reach my blog from my home. But apparently other people can see it, because I’m still getting emails when there are comments posted. Of course I can’t get in to approve the coments that are in moderation, just like […]
I game across the iTunes Signature Maker and decided to give it a spin after reading the description.
People often ask me what music I listen to, and I find it difficult to describe my enormous music collection in just a few sentences. So I created iTSM to answer in sound a question I cannot […]
Every so often I’m reminded of how much I take for granted about what I do as a blogger, even though part of my job is teaching people how to blog. The most recent such occasion was last week, when I helped put together a quick session on blogging for some of folks in my […]
Since I started blogging a couple of years ago, things have gotten more and more interesting, in ways I could never have imagined. The latest has me thinking of I should work the phrase “internationally known” into the title of my day job. Via the EchoDitto del.icio.us feed (we all contribute links regularly, here are […]
The “work vs. blogging” thread is becoming the “meme that would not die.” I’ve covered it several times in the past, though not for a while. This time, however, the story seems to have changed a bit. It’s not the usual tale of someone being fired for blogging, or not getting a job because of […]
I’m with Meghann. Once I finish the book for NaNoWriMo, if it ever finds it’s way to a publisher, I want the damn thing on Google.
Lack of exposure is the primary reason that a book like mine would fail in the marketplace. I spend most of my day trying to get attention for my book. […]
The latest DemsTV is up, and I’m on it again, for those who want to check it out.

Interseting. I found this Link Popularity Tool on LinkFilter, and I thought I’d check the results for this blog. This is what the site itself had to say about link popularity.
This is an all in one tool to check the number of pages that link to you in AlltheWeb, AltaVista, Google, HotBot, MSN Search, and […]
10:00 am - New York City: OK. So Al Gore is speaking. (Yeah, yeah. Of course he’s speaking here, because he invented the internet.) He does gigs like this when he’s not busy saving people from disaster.
