New Favorite

   Posted by: richard   in Everyday Things

I think I’ve found a new favorite phrase. I am going to work it into my every day speech. I credit Mr. Mark Traphagen for the phrase. Of course, I am certain it did not originate with him, but it was today that he introduced me to this phrase, and may he be well remembered for many generations for it.

“Forgive me for being pedantic here, but…”

A Request

   Posted by: richard   in Everyday Things

For all of you bloggers using WordPress… It would please me greatly if you were to install the Subscribe-to-Comments plugin on your blog.

It allows individuals to subscribe via email to comments on your blog. I post a comment, and if I enable this, I will receive an email whenever a new comment is posted. It’s really nice in this synidcated internet. I read most all the blogs I read via bloglines. Which means I don’t see comments unless I click through to the actual post. Which I typically only do if there’s a comment I want to leave, myself (or if the blog author doesn’t put full posts in their feed). And then, when I leave a comment, I’ll often forget I left it… since I won’t visit the blog and see the post from yesterday, with a change in comment number. So, when I forget, it’d be nice to get an email about new comments.

Or, a feed for comments would be nice. That’s another option.
