why web journals suck: an essay: Another classic for that online blog library (even though its name gives away its paleoblog origins) is why web journals suck.... (Memes)

TechTV | The World According to Blog: Dave Roos, a self-described "blogging failure" wrote this amusing take on blogging for the website of the TechTV show "The Screen Savers": Bloggers don't appreciate press from ignorant, neophyte blog failures like myself, because blog failures like myself are prone to sweeping philosophical generalizations concerning the nature of blogging. I'll be... (Memes)

Adding a Blogging Layer with w.bloggar: Matt Croydon's postneo blog contains a pointer to w.bloggar. I'm not sure what the right term for this is, an interface for blogging? middleware? It posts to Blogger and MovableType as well as a few other tools, pings weblogs.com and offers other management services. I suppose one way of aggregating blogs... (Weblog Concepts)

Possible to Annotate my Events Log in Radio?: A method for annotating and archiving my Events log would, I think, shed light on my iterative editorial process and acknowledge the effort (in the sense of crossing out items on a to-do list).

Google API hacks for Movable Type: Sifry's Alerts features a cool implementation of the Google API for MovableType bloggers. From the post about the first version of the hack: With a 3-line hack to Movable Type's source code (gosh, I love having the source code to my software) I added a new function to its Google search...

Disturbing Search Requests: My friend syrup used to get (and post) some strange search requests. This site is a community blog (very Metafilter-y design) where you can post any disturing search requests you find in your referer logs. Since I don't post much personal stuff here (see bodega for the excruciating details of my... (Weblog Concepts)

B2E Corporate Blogging: In a column (Blogs are HUGE) at the Macromedia site, Ed Krimen discussed the way they are using blogs to promote their products: While most of the feedback about the blogs has been positive, there has been some concerned feedback, especially from the blogging community. Companies like Macromedia don't normally use... (Weblog Concepts)
