Still trying on my own to republish the entries lost (?) by the Typepad problems yesterday, and this is really just a test entry to see if it helps. Continue reading →

One of the best things I’ve done is join MetaxuCafe, the lit community blog because it has a great side effect: just as with inviting the relatives over for a holiday dinner, you have to clean the house up as … Continue reading → Continue reading →

While I have not as yet figured out how to display the logo, I am happy to report that I have been accepted by the 9rules Network which opens up a whole new world of quality blogging to me, as … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Far be it for me to discourage any writers, especially weblogging writers, but this afternoon Susie Evil came flying out of her cave and wiped out a comment from a writer-blogger. All it was was an invitation to visit their … Continue reading → Continue reading →

In checking in on comments and stats, I’ve found only a very limited number of readers interested in my reading reviews, and those few are not interested in the personal nor the writing exercises.  Am I needy?  A whiner?  Probably.  … Continue reading → Continue reading →

If you can read this, then maybe Typepad finally fixed my problem.  Haven’t been able to load Spinning or any of the other weblogs of mine since this morning.  I’m paid through October 2006 so I’m only hoping that they … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Well, it was a very, very quiet day in the blogworld and I sure felt it’s been a trend, but from if:book, a link to an article that says different.  I think the info blogs, those covering current events and … Continue reading → Continue reading →

While I do feel incredibly guilty about renewing with Typepad, and by  November I may be blogging from the streets (good thing I decided on the laptop!), I’ve made my decision to continue with Spinning and its sisters in the … Continue reading → Continue reading →

In preparation for change, I am copy & pasteing all entries since the beginning of the year into Word for backup.  Prior to that, the backup of Spinning, Talespinning, etc. are lost on the dead hard drive unless I can … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I started Spinning in October, 2003.  I have posted some 2500 entries, 2200 here at Spinning, the rest on a couple of dedicated writing weblogs.  As all of you know, when the time for a paid weblog comes up for … Continue reading → Continue reading →

This is a test.  This is only a test.  John at J-Walk is conducting an experiment over at his blog to determine if he can track down all who have linked to this post. Now we’ll know if he’s really … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Certainly not the first time, but surely one of the few where for two days, I cannot think of a damn thing to say… UPDATE:  Didn’t take longer than fifteen minutes for life to get exciting.  A pinhole in the … Continue reading → Continue reading →
