Watching Boomsday Sideways and Beyond the Esplanade are the two pieces of one day's Knox-centric blogging. Eventually I'll not only sort out what I have to say, but where to say it.

I've been very happy with the tabbed browsing feature and pop-up blocking of the Firefox browser on my Mac, so now I've installed it on this new (to me) office PC. Along with the browser, I'm experimenting with a Google toolbar extension.

The toolbar's "blog this (with Blogger)" item inspired this round of updates to my old Blogger blog. I've also loaded the Sage RSS reader extension and a few trial RSS feeds, including some from the Washington Post. One of them led me to this item about the personal impact of personal blogging: washingtonpost.com: Blog Interrupted...

All in all, this has been a fine way to test the "blog this," RSS, toolbar, Blogger's new editing features, the browser and my new keyboard, all at once. So far so good. But remembering to eat dinner would have been a good idea, too.

WDVX is providing the background music for my new life in Knoxville... but will be doing so very softly until I get some speakers for this new office PC.

Notes about blogging and journalism: Wired interview with Dan Gillmor about his new book

(This really belongs in my other blog, but I have two minutes of battery time left...)

Blog by mail test #3

The first two trials (below) seem to indicate that the e-mail to blog
approach deletes HTML anchor tags. I'll go back and look for online
documentation when I have a chance. I'll also try posting something
from my Handspring TREO e-mail while I'm out.

blog-by-mail

This is another test of blogging by e-mail, to see if HTML links work
like this: http://stepno.com or like this href="http://stepno.com">this.

I wish other organizations I belonged to were as liberal about membership fees as the American Sociological Association's sliding scale.

This is a trial of posting to a Blogger weblog by
e-mail. The original link didn't work until I went back to Blogger to fix the link code HTML. I'll try again and leave the new post uncorrected.
