Adminstrivia

Well, some minor changes going on around here, and I thought I'd point them out.

I've removed the references to Technorati that used to appear in the left panel: I can't ever seem to get onto the system, and when I do, their scanning mechanism is so flawed it makes me wonder about their utility. They counted 23 links to this site last time they reported with something other than a "We're too busy to be bothered with your request" - I counted 35, and the Blogging Ecosystem counted 74.

I would like to link the Ecosystem from the panel, but they have some issues, too. Like listing this blog thrice, once for the main feed, and twice for category feeds. Curiously, they counted internal links from one category but not the other: in any event, their adjusted link count came out about right, even though they left off one of my best blogging buddies.

I also made some corrections/additions to the blogroll. Steve Tucker's blog is now named correctly, and I added some libertarian journals: Armed and Dangerous from the libertarian right and Mutualist Blog on the libertarian left. Pay especial attention to the latter: I'll have more to say about some of my ongoing political evolution (or devolution) Real Soon Now™.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
