Lots of other cool bloggers over there too. Pretty much everyone in my “blogfriends” group in my blogroll. Go vote for all of them too. Early and often.

Update: None of my attempts to thwart spam are working. I’m getting deluged with comment spam. One every minute or less. I’ve turned off commenting temporarily until I figure it out.

Update: I think we’re back. Using Akismet now. Should stem the flow to just a festering sore.

Actually, send me an email at jase@dufair.org. I’ll try and figure out the problem in the meantime.

Update: I think I have it working again. I installed the latest version of the Did You Pass Math plugin (thanks Steven!) and my server once again realizes 8 and 2 are 10 Yeah! I already got 2 spams in the few hours it was disabled.

I decided to add Anna as a author to my blog so you could see which posts she wrote (I now show the author by the post title).  All of these old (and not so terribly old) posts are in the “Old Family Blog” category which can be found here.  They’re probably more interesting to me (and to my kids someday) than to anyone else (perhaps excepting my brother who now subscribes and my folks who read on occasion, and any other family that reads - Hi Heather!  Marcie? Dan? Erin? Eduardo? Dunnes? - ok maybe some people will enjoy the posts).  Anyway, enjoy if you’re so inclined.

I host WordPress on my own site. I just updated it to a new version, thinking the post editor would be spiffier. Somehow, the spiff got missed on my upgrade. And I ended up having to update my stats plugin and reset all my stats. Sucky. But looking at my stats page, it got me thinking: I have readers from all around the world. See the pic on the right. And that’s just the last couple weeks. Yet I only have commenters from Canada and the USA. So this is my call to all of you lurkers in the rest of the world. All ya have to do is just leave an anonymous one word comment - “Hi” (or “Hola” or “Bienvenue” or “Marhaba” or “Ni Hao”). My spiffy new stats plugin will put your flag by your comment. Come on! And I won’t make you comment ever again.

Hopefully OneNote 2007 will have more seamless blogging. I played with Windows Live Writer with the ink blogging plugin, but I’d rather do it all in OneNote if possible. Seems like it would be a natural application if OneNote allowed ink hyperlinks.

Anyone of the 2 or three of you who might have an opinion on the previous post, sound off, ok?

I suppose if I’m going to do it right, I should figure out how to make ink words hyperlinks. Image maps? Yeek.
