About halfway through the second, or maybe third line, in my enthusiasm to read it, I’ll realize that this is Spam.

If it’s an orangeish-looking bunch of wooden things, it’s the old interior doors we just changed out from the upstairs of our house, before being hauled away. If it looks like it’s got little maple-helicopters on it, it’s the steps of our deck. I can’t recall whether I’ve got any other wooden things in there right now, but it’s probably one of those.

You can set your tags so that they link to del.icio.us but can be read and cataloged by technorati…. You just need to make sure that the rel=”tag” attribute is present in the link. That’s what’s so great about tagging this way…

about del.icio.us and Technorati tagging, it’s Technorati you should be tagging your blogposts with not del.icio.us. Del.icio.us will only organize your own posts in one del.icio.us (arrgh I hate typing that with those dots!) account. Technorati organizes ALL blogposts from everywhere. If you use Flock, the Technorati tagging on each post is built in. Have a look at one of my posts, I’ve been tagging with technorati for a week or two now.
Categories are great, but they’re not tags. Technorati tagging is something that’s bringing bloggers and blogs from all over together. If I were to go and do a tag-search on Technorati for “midlife” for example, I would find all your posts and all others from other people’s blogs, which have been tagged with “midlife”. You’re obviously already familiar with Technorati as you have links on both this and TWNs page. If you don’t want to use Flock, here’s a Wordpress plugin that I believe will do the job. There’s also an OS X dashboard widget. You know what, here’s a link to the Technorati tools page.

Julie, I know exactly what you’re talking about. I get “enlargement” emails everyday. Some are so disgusting. They go into unnecessary descriptive detail. Someone who actually want to find sites selling stuff like that, wouldn’t need to read these emails, he’d (no she here) just do a Google search. I can understand how something like this would have made sense in the hay-days of the net, but today with all these great search engines, why are they hounding us? Once I actually got a “shrinkage” email. It was hilarious! Mad spammers.

Back to Dave: congrats on the upgrade. I’m buying myself a Mac too. I’ve really had it with Windows. It crashes too often for my liking. I’ve lost some real good comments, articles, emails and codes, because IE, Firefox or Flock crashed.

I’m had the same problem with that guys blogpage. Had to scroll down a lot. I’m on Firefox, Windows XP Home.

Talking about you learning, I should be replying to your email now.

Sir Fluffy, I’m glad I made this switch. I like WordPress way more than Blogger, and it’s great to be in control of everything about my blog. (I do, however, have a lot of learning to do.)

P.S. This blog is saving my information. I like that. In Blogspot I had to enter my information every time, if I wasn’t a blogspot person.
