And Here's the Next Step
Hey, it's a good thing that tinkering around with webpages and blog sites is how I spend an enjoyable day. Some people have hobbies. Or do yard work, god forbid. But this is fun for me.
So I set up an account at something called blogarithm, which will, so it claims, email me whenever one of you updates. If that works, it will replace the red links at dland, but of course, I will miss that page. But there's also no law that says I have to stop going there, so. I've also put a little widget or whatever it is at the bottom of my page, and I think you can put in your email address when I update here and it will notify you. This is a big improvement over the old notify list I tried to do once before, because this doesn't require any input on my part. I would also forget to push the button there, or send the email, or whatever I had to do. This does it by itself. or so it claims.
Here's one of the things I really like about blogger so far: it has an HTML editor built into it. You can write your entry in HTML or in a more WYSIWYG mode, and you can switch back and forth between them. So that saves me a step in posting, since I always write in an HTML editing program (CuteHTML) first.
I like the way the page looks. I may add a picture to the template, but I haven't decided yet what to use. Although I wish I could use lower case in the titles. But I'm over it.
Okay, I'm posting (not double-posting, since this would make no sense over at dland) and then we'll see if I get notified, since I put myself on my own blogarithm list so I'd know if it works.

Yeah, it's me. So I read more carefully and it turns out that blogarithm only sends one email a day, in the morning, and lists all the updates then, which is not great, but I guess is better than nothing. I'll still check the red-links page, and still use my RSS feeds for other stuff, but it's a backup, and if you want a morning email when I update, feel free to sign up. Oh, you can get the RSS feed, too, I forgot to say that before.
