While I'm here, I'll keep this separate from the already-huge photo post, but I've been meaning to mention that I recently figured out a system for keeping up with friends' blogs. It's always been hard for me to remember to check, because I don't hang out on Blogger a lot. I tried using a feed reader, but it just didn't work well on my small computer screen. (My computer is a tiny EeePC laptop, which was affordable and is wonderfully portable, but I don't recommend it as an only computer, since its capabilities in some areas are limited, and the screen on my model is only 7 inches.)
But I do listen to a lot of American public radio and BBC radio podcasts, and I use iGoogle to gather them so I can easily stream the audio. Finally, in a "facepalm" sort of moment, I realized I could just create another tab on iGoogle and use it to gather RSS feeds from all the blogs I want to follow. It's perfect for me, because the interface is uncluttered, works well on my small screen (it only shows the title of each post - the three most recent for each blog - and I can open the posts I want to read in a new Firefox tab) and it's a site I'm already familiar with.
So! This is just to say that I've been reading your blogs regularly for a couple of weeks, mainly lurking because I feel shy commenting, but hello! And if you're reading this and have a blog you'd like for me to follow, just let me know.
Okey doke, back to watching the Westminster dog show (David Duchovny, please stop making me cry with your Pedigree dog adoption commercials!) and grading papers.
