So the day after Microsoft puts out a blogging tool, Blogger releases information about a new beta version of Blogger, complete with WYSIWYG layouts, labels, and privacy settings.
I’m tempted to start a new test blog to get into the beta features, but I think I’ll simply wait until my account is eligible. I’ve got plenty to keep me busy. 🙂

The latest issue of Scot’s newsletter has a nice collection of information to help answer the question “Will my hardware work under Linux?” It’s got links to getting Live CD distros, hardware compatibility databases, and more.

I’ve noticed a somewhat significant drop in traffic the last couple of weeks. No surprise there, the weather’s getting nicer.

I was able to get the Referrer script formatted properly this morning. Mostly it was trial and error, but I think the spacing issue had something to do with the proximity to the Topica list sign-up box, which I had to put in it’s own table to keep from doing the same thing. When I…

As you probably already know, pretty much everything I’ve seen hyped by Microsoft and Blogger are things that WordPress has had for some time now. Yawn.
