FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARRIVE @ THIS BLOG ALL BECAUSE OF ENTRECARD AND LITTLE MORE, I would like to explain @ this time that the reason I'm limiting advertising exposure for the nonce is related to my forthcoming blogging reinvention @ a new home within measurable distance. In other words, I'm basically banking Entrecredits so that, when (and if) Entrecard allows my transferring the existing account to the new blog, I can improve my chances of getting noticed by those means. Too, if any of you... Read Full Story

IN PREPARING FOR THE CHANGEOVER OF YOUR CORRESPONDENT'S BLOGGING (MIS)ADVENTURES TO A NEW PLATFORM, it appears possible that he may have to consider playing with the ur-Internet Trust, as in the Blogger platform owned by Google.

Or, for that matter... Read Full Story

AS I DISCUSSED YESTERDAY, READERS, Your Correspondent is now starting to develop the next phase in his blogging career after quite the while on Blogdrive, citing a number of emerging problems with same. For starters, I am looking @ a target date of Easter or thereabouts for the full-on launch, following an extended "preview" period as would involve a Prospectus being displayed (to gauge interest). I need time to work it out, parse it, think it over before going forward with its posting, so... Read Full Story

IT SEEMS AS IF BLOGDRIVE.COM, AS HAS BEEN GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO MAKE THIS BLOG POSSIBLE, may be going to seed, and then some, if not already.
