Doing my homework (reading blog reviews of Rebecca Blood's weblog handbook), I encountered Cruftbox passing off a disgression as "navel gazing."
Having just titled a recent post with that phrase, I went into memewatching mode and decided to Google it. Lo and behold, a table of contents from Enterzone was on the first page of results! Mind you, Enterzone hasn't been substantially changed since 1998.
I've always marveled at the persistence of history on the web and dense archaeological linking. Tangents indeed.

Uppity-Negro notes that James Lileks (Bleat) and Rebecca Blood (Rebecca's Pocket) were both recently interviewed on radio:
The similarities of the questions, and the basic content of some of the answers, is actually a bit scary. Except when Rebecca says it, it makes sense. Not that I'm biased or anything.[via Uppity-Negro.com]

While the mission of this blog is to talk about blogging, the nature of blogging is such that I want to be able to do other things in this space. I could keep them off the home page when not about blogging, but I'd rather use my discretion about when something belongs on the home page (most of the time) and when to just send it to a category or two.
Rather, I'd say that if you're reading this blog just for the news, tips, and comparisons of blog products, then consider going to the 'metablog' category as a matter of course (or subscribing to its RSS feed). This will filter your Radio Free Blogistan flow to just posts about blogs and blogging.
I will try to implement a dynamic filter so you can view or hide different categories all on the home page, but I'm not there yet. In the meantime, a brief explanation of my categories as they currently stand:
metablog
Blogging about blogging, and blogging about blogging about blogging, but never blogging about blogging about blogging about blogging, I promise!
knowhow
What does blogging tell us about content and knowledge management in the enterprise space?
syllabus
Required reading about weblogs and the state of writing online.
memewatch
Counting memes by candlelight. All are dim but one is bright.
fireweaver
Dreamweaver, Fireworks, web design and web practices.
radioactive
Radio questions channel aggregated by dws.
outspoken
Occasional intemperate outbursts.
salonika
Salon, Salon blogs, blogs.salon.com
x-pollen
X-references to and from my other blogs. RSS Monkey help me.

Things need padding, and I have to learn how clearing and floating works to get better at placing CSS boxes. Next step is to take apart the main table and put the side nav in its own div.
