Six days without getting to say “Sorry, you can’t use Blogger with envy.nu” in Blogger Discuss. I’m going into withdrawl. Doesn’t anybody have a question? (Other than “why can’t I see my blog on envy.nu?”)
The indefatigable Peter Scott’s The Complete Guide to Web Logs has a directory of text ads, whether you are looking to advertise or to host ads.
Progress on various remote commenting fronts: Marcus is starting to show some of what he has in mind for BlogBack Plus, including XML or dotcomments-format import/export. Ruzz (of Big Blog Tool) is starting to show more of his hand about Big Comment Tool, both on his site and in my comments. Beta testing starts in […]
Second thoughts on remotely-hosted comments: after some mail from Hossein Sharifi, the author of YACCS, I’ve changed my tune. The problem with free remotely-hosted comments is not so much with the idea as it is with our expectations of them.

Blogger’s inability to leave && in JavaScript alone annoys yet another person.
Posting from Bloggar release candidate 1, another Blogger API client. (The site is in Portuguese, and the Babel Fish translation is worse than the original, so I’m not sure how far they are from release.[Update: released 12/25/01. Blogger API shut down 12/26/01. Ouch.]) I tend not to do much text alignment, but this is centered. […]
