Archive by tag 'With 2010 nearly here, it’s time to resolve to behave better on Twitter, Facebook, my blog, and whatever other social media gets invented this coming year. Ask, don’t tell. I’ll try to remember that I don’t know everything and act accordingly. I might even learn something. Leave more comments. Bloggers put a lot of effort [...]

Starting a Blog — Naming It
Yesterday, I started Impolite Company to write about political issues. This and the next few posts will document the decisions I made and the steps I took in creating Impolite Company. First on the list is the name: Impolite Company. I wasn’t looking for anonymity. I just needed another blog to segregate my political posts [...]
Impolite Company Is Alive
My political blog, Impolite Company, is open for business. There’s not much there yet, but that soon will change. It’s been a while since I started a new WordPress blog.

Exerslog Not Quite Dead
I wrote a new post at Exerslog. I had to. Google Reader was taunting me that it was inactive. No promises for the future, though.
Update Your Blogroll Automatically
I used to use WordPress’ built-in blogroll capabilities. No more — it was too much work. My blogroll now updates automatically to always show the feeds I’m reading. Here’s how you can do it, too: Set up Google Reader as your RSS reader. I suspect other online readers would also work, but I know Google’s [...]
