Blogger Insider
I’m two weeks behind in posting my Blogger Insider questions and answers. I suppose I owe apologies to Jaz and Mike. So, without further ado … Here are the questions Mike asked me and my answers:
Spotlight
<news flash> I’ve been selected as a Movable Type Spotlight Site. Expect more blogging soon. </news flash>
Megway ™
I can’t decide whether I like this press release so much because it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever read or the most depressing. If you read it and understand why it’s so funny, then you’ll get why my frustration – because of my inability to explain it to 99.8% of NPCs – is so depressing.
Getting There
