[09:59PM EDT] Brett has started audioblogging using Blogware. I'm sure that this type of a blog could be run using most blogging applications, I'm just pleased that he's using ours.

I can't wait until post-launch so that I can start thinking about how we can make maintaining additional media-types just as simple as text and photo's are now. C | T (35) | #

[09:53PM EDT] John Robb has posted a nice GoogleNews hack.

Simple, yet elegant - my favorite flavor. C | T (21) | #

[09:44PM EDT] Eric is jamming out on Eminem today.

Nice to see more bloggers coming out of the closet. C | T (3) | #

[09:39PM EDT] Eric Longman: Geez. I've gotta get a life.

I say "Geez, when you are going to move over to Blogware?" :)

Sincerely,

[09:35PM EDT] Doc notes that Rush Limbaugh seems to enjoy, what David Hill has dubbed, "bondage with his audience".

Isn't this the sort of thing that got Kobe Bryant in trouble?

I'll pass thanks. C | T (333) | #

[09:11PM EDT] CBC News:Nude accordionist calendar takes off
"St. John's Folk Arts Council debuted its naked accordionist calendar, entitled Pulling Out All The Stops, at the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival this past weekend. "

'nuff said.

[08:57PM EDT] Courtesy of the masterful Paul Sisson, we've got a few new stylesheets to play with. If you want to change the look and feel of your Blogware, simply follow these quick instructions:

***Note, you must be using the default templates in order for these instructions to work. If you are not using the default template, send me an email and I will send you some further instructions.

Log in to your Blogware Control Panel
Click on "Look and Feel"
Click on "Templates"
Look down the list of Component Templates until you come to the one labelled "Style". Click "Edit"
From the list of Style Options, select either "Autumn", "Sunset" or "newdefault".
Click the "Select Style" button at the bottom of the list.
Click the View Blog tab in the top left of your screen.

That's it - you should now be sporting some funky new colors and a slightly different way of looking at things. Best of all, everything is compatible with the Layout Manager which means you can easily manage the look and feel of your Blog. C | T (76) | #

[06:53AM EDT] Contrary to what Roland's excerpts might indicate, I actually *can* spelll.

"Vocabularies".
"Send".

See? And I didn't even have to use a dictionary. ;)

And I'm going to resist the urge to edit out the offending mistakes. At least for a small period of time. C | T (8) | #
