Semantic quoting in blog posts is fine, but first you have to tend to the absolute basics: a link.

A simple little comment license, that better not ever see a court of law.

It’s nice that weblog tool producers are giving people comment moderation as a spam fighting tool, but it’s probably time to start thinking about making it less hostile to commenters.

Just encoding an email address as numeric character references has a huge anti-spam effect, to my great surprise.

You know your business blog is working when your readers leave singing.

A message tapped out on the prison bars.

If they can put a man on the moon, and turn a bunch of slashes, underscores, and asterisks into HTML, surely someone could turn HTML into readable plain text, couldn’t they?

If you aren’t even willing to install it, just to read the opinion of someone who read the feature list on the download page, can we call your opinion informed? Didn’t think so.

The words “this is a demo” do not count as a demonstration of weblogging. Find something to say next time, and your demoees and your readers will both thank you.

The best way to have your aggregator send items to your blogging software is pretty simple: have them be the same program.
