You know how hard it is to keep up with one weblog, in one language? Well, for me it is, anyway. I’m awed by Elke’s ability to maintain two separate blogs, in English and in German, freshly moved out of Blogspot. Swing by her housewarming, and check out the roomy new closets.
Don’t bother reading Instapundit or Scripting News or even yourish.com to find out how things are done. —Meryl Hmm, if she gives away advice that good, maybe I should order the kit.
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 […]
This “nearly hack-free” means of authoring provides authors the freedom to write clean, valid external CSS1 style sheets to be read and compatibly understood by the few browsers that do so.

Also of note in the pixelkitty zone: by far the best looking set of archive links I’ve ever done the javascript to produce. […]
There’s little doubt but what Blog*Spot sucks. It’s slow, often unavailable, and frustrating when you decide you want images or separate style sheets. The problem is, it doesn’t seem to be frustrating enough, or at least not frustrating the right people enough. Blog*Spot is absolutely necessary to Blogger: with Blog*Spot, a potential Blogger user, whether […]
Jonathon on digression. Ironic post intended.
Just noticed that I’m missing out on updates by depending on my blogroll. My list is built from the RSS version of my favorites list at blo.gs, which is mostly built from weblogs.com/changes.xml. Fine and dandy, except that I blew it, and mentioned pinging blo.gs directly, and Shannon must have done it. Now her pings […]
Two ways to get disposable email addresses, for those times when you have to give an address to sign up for something, but you don’t quite trust them not to sell you to the spammers: Spammotel generates random addresses (like AVMDKBOEJZVX@spammotel.com), and then forwards everything, with an optional custom prefix to the subject, until you […]
