I’ve been working on getting my relatives and friends to access my blog via RSS so they always know when something is new and don’t check too often (and get disappointed) or to infrequently (and fall out of habit). This is a good explanation from Seth and even has given me a few ideas about…

I am officially starting a moratorium on updating the structure of my blog and podcast site starting on September 1st for the month.  I’ve been doing a lot of little tweaks lately and I think I’ve crossed the line of dimishing returns.  I also find it a lot easier to do the structure stuff than…

I’m in the process of moving my old blog based on a Plone plug-in called COREBlog to the new one I just set-up on WordPress. I’ve outlined the reasons for my changes in previous posts, but the migration is turning out to be a real pain. I’m really starting to question the value of moving…
