Some poor unfortunate Google searcher looking for “blogrolling howto radio”, for which I am your only resource, caused me to notice that Google seems to count rather like those lucky “primitive” peoples who have numbers like “none”, “one”, and “a bunch”. Omiting “very similar” pages, you get two of my pages, “Results 1-2 of about […]
Status.Blogger.Com Looking into: Archive problem for week of 3/10. Update: Fixed (I believe—not yet widely tested).
