Thanks to you all. I can’t quite believe that Blogger is going to make me type in those irritating funky letters for my own goddam blog, but such is life. . . . They are a usability thing that actually bothers me, because I know they don’t work for readers who are blind, but, like everyone else, I’ve started to be plagued by comment spam.

I’m glad that the general reaction to people getting blogs is a positive one–I think it’s the combination of feeling like a frontiersperson (well, sort of) in a relatively new medium and seeing a familiar face (or voice) enter into it.

Nice job Laura!

Life does trump blogging, and many other things, on occasion. But I am glad you’re still here!

With Bloglines I can patiently wait for a little bold (1) to show up next to lis.dom. Write when you can because I am certainly glad that you do.

“Who was this Walt Crawford person, and why was everyone so excited when he got a blog? ”

I still haven’t figured out that second part. (Maybe it has to do with being a suspected elder Luddite and having co-written a book with Michael Gorman?)

By now, with people recognizing that the blog isn’t replacing C&I or doing anything special, there’s probably no excitement left.

Anyway, good post…and I’m trying to remember to use both names more often, when I know them.
