Drew's Blog
I've added a couple of things, one thing you might notice right away is the title for each blog. This was a feature that used to be part of their premium package and not part of the free service that I use. I see that it's now available to all the blogs. Another cool thing is that I could set it up to blog by email, although it's not that big a deal to open a browser, even in a hotel room with 9600 bps dialup.
I've also done some "programming" to redo my Books page with multiple blogs instead of the book lists I have to redo every time I add something. This will be almost invisible to someone viewing the page, but extremely cool. For example, I'll have a "What I'm Reading Now" blog, and post to it whenever I finish a book. The page will include only the latest post, so it will update automatically. Then, I'll cut and paste the contents from the previous "what I'm reading now" into a post in the "Last 10 Books I've Read" blog, and it will only show the last 10 posts. Very, very cool. And all free. I still don't understand how the blogger folks make their money, but I don't think I want to know, since it probably derives from some form of invasion of privacy.
The new page should be out there soon, I have some small formatting issues.
To check out the test page, look here. The blog posts are the ones with a date in front.
