Housekeeping

I’ve added a plug-in that will allow you to edit your own comments within 30 minutes of posting. Unfortunately, the edit icon doesn’t appear as soon as you post – you have to refresh the page to get it.

I’ve also added a button to make it even easier to add this site to your Google Reader list (ahem…). If you aren’t using Google Reader, but are using gmail, then you should consider it. Your RSS feeds, including read status and favorites – follow you anywhere, and you don’t have to remember another password. Other features include tracking your reading status, easy e-mailing of posts you like, and sharing of posts to your gmail friends.

I use Reader to subscribe to most of the sites in my blogroll and maybe a dozen others that I don’t have space for. Where I used to miss posts more often than not, I now catch every one that goes up. The challenge is having time to read it all. That’s a good challenge for me.

If you aren’t using gmail, you should consider signing up. I started it two or three PCs ago, when my e-mail client (outlook express) suddenly quit working. I’m hooked. Gmail will also poll any POP account, and can send SMTP through your other accounts as well (so that you don’t have to use the gmail address unless you like). I don’t know if gmail still requires invitations, but if it does and you want one, just let me know.

Update: Ok – there’s a contact page now, too, so you can e-mail us.
