This is a cool. But I'm afraid to start clicking just yet lest I spend the rest of the day here!

You know what a sucker I am for a good quote or two. This'll be fun to click through. Thanks.

Have you seen these (scroll down)? Every once in a while I consider doing a quote-post featuring quotes about quotes, quoting and "quoters". Maybe in 2007 ... but don't quote me on that, 'kay?

It's an interesting side effect of switching to the new Blogger: when I update my index posts, they go out through the rss feed, drawing much more attention than they used to.

Glad you like it!

reader_iam said...

Yeah.

That'd be pregnant "yeah." Noticed that later on, when I tried to come back.

Well. I own it.

The good thing is that the--situation? circumstances?--of my entry takes not a whit away from the value of what you did, nor my praise of it.

There's that, and not so small of a thing, in the end, stripped to the essential.

Or not?

I wasn't criticizing you at all: the beauty of these indices is that they start out small and useless, and over time they become quite substantial. Since you, like so many people, read via rss instead of by going to the blog directly, you wouldn't notice the sidebar material, and who pays attention to that stuff anymore anyway?

You can get around it (at least in bloglines) by chosing to have it ignore updated entries.

In theory, the categories function of the new blogger should make this obsolete, but its too limited to really show all of what I've done over the last two years, so I'm keeping it.
