mowabb: meta-bloggingWhat is it and why do we do it?Radio Poster Coming Along- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Will Leshner says his blogging app, Radio Poster, is getting better. I can't wait to see the improvements he's making.http://radio.weblogs.com/0101221/categories/myOrganization/2002/05/22.html#a238 Can't Resist- (Found July 2, 2008 ) NEW YORK - May 21 - A study of ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News in the year 2001 shows that 92 percent of all U.S. sources interviewed were white, 85 percent were male and, where party affiliation was identifiable, 75 percent were Republican.

Gentile's list of Must Have Science Fiction Classics is also worth a look. I haven't read most of them, so someday when I'm not neck-deep in "literary modernism" and the so-called "Southern renaissance" (my current project) I'll have a lot of good reading to do.http://radio.weblogs.com/0101221/categories/myOrganization/2002/05/31.html#a270 Random Referral- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Radio's minimalist referral log says I got a hit from keanuvision, which is a cool site about Keanu Reeves, "The Matrix," and related subjects, but I can't for the life of me find anywhere they mention my site. Oh well. For my money, the lack of information available to bloggers about who is looking at their pages is one of the main things currently limiting the growth, influence, and value of blogs. All the talk about including links to your RSS feed in the HTML of your blog is a good start...http://radio.weblogs.com/0101221/categories/myOrganization/2002/06/01.html#a272 Not A Whore- (Found July 2, 2008 ) I'm not being a very good blogwhore, but I'm linking to Photojunkie, as requested, so maybe someday I can be a whore, too.http://radio.weblogs.com/0101221/categories/myOrganization/2002/07/15.html#a336 Moving from Radio to MT- (Found July 2, 2008 ) David Watson has posted a helpful reply to my question of how he moved his posts from Radio to Movable Type. Thanks David! Now I just have to find the time to try out those scripts. I wonder if the recent MT upgrade to using SQL databases will change anythinghttp://radio.weblogs.com/0101221/categories/myOrganization/2002/07/09.html#a317 Google Search Macro For Radio- (Found July 2, 2008 ) I just tried out this macro that automatically puts the top 10 Google search results at the end of every post, based on a search for the post's title. It's neat, but perhaps a little excessive. Plus, to be really useful you'd have to concentrate on making your titles informative and on-topic, and what fun is that However, posts should now say what category they were posted to, for what it's worth.http://radio.weblogs.com/0101221/categories/myOrganization/2002/06/24.html#a303 Blogs to Teach Writing- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Scripting News pointed to this academic who blogs. She gives several good pedagogical reasons for using blogs to teach writing. Some of these I've considered, others are fresh ideas for me. I'll be teaching a summer class beginning next week; between now and then I'll give more thought to how I might use blogs to teach "business and technical writing," but at this point I'm still thinking it might be more trouble than it's worth. (Battery dying, must run...)http://radio.weblogs.com/0101221/categories/myOrganization/2002/06/05.html#a288 Elementary, Thanks to Watson!- (Found July 2, 2008 ) David Watson pointed me to this page with instructions for adding a comment count to your comment links in Radio. I've been trying to figure this out for some time -- thanks David! If you use Radio and you see people with cool features on their pages that you'd like to implement in your own blog, check this list, which appears to be a central location for all of Dave Winer's new Radio features announcements. I'm still contemplating a move to Moveable Type, but I dunno... If Radio would send...http://radio.weblogs.com/0101221/categories/myOrganization/2002/06/05.html#a287 Morning Links- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Good morning. For those of you who might be finding this site via Jenny Levine's The Shifted Librarian (thanks for the link) or from various Weblog Neighborhood lists (thanks to Adam Wendt for the subscription) -- welcome! And speaking of the neighborhood, the most recent harvest for there is no spoon makes me wonder what it all means. I look forward to hearing more about what we might do with these lists. Meanwhile, a few quick linkscomments from the aggregator: I haven't had a chance to...http://radio.weblogs.com/0101221/categories/myOrganization/2002/06/04.html#a286 |
