Adventures with Haloscan and blog updates...

For those of you who are fellow writers of the blog, you'll probably understand what I just put myself thru. Those of you who aren't? I'm sorry if this all seems Greek to you.

I've had trackback envy for a while now but didn't want to switch to Haloscan for comments, so I did some research and found out in theory there was a way to only use trackback for comments without loosing the comments the way I have them. So I signed up, then discovered there is no place in the instructions/codes to get just the script for trackback. After searching the FAQ's and instructions at Haloscan almost gave up. Thankfully, the forum has a thread devoted to just this very issue and after some playing around with the template was able to place it where I wanted.

I added some things to the sidebar, and updated my favorite blogs. Some of you will notice William Rivers Pitt's forum at Truthout was taken out, not because I didn't enjoy Will, but because he's taken a temporary leave from the forum. So when he comes back I'll list him again. Also, Ohio Guy is a new blog listing, for those of you who have wished I'd be more conservative? You'll like his site. I have to admit when I read his blog today and saw he linked my article about Newsweek to compare/contrast with another blog, I was pretty flattered.

But ego back to earth now...before it becomes ginormous...hehehe.... I knew I could use that word....
