O.k., here we are on the new blog. I wonder if everyone’s getting the feed. Raise your hand if you didn’t get this post! (Yeah, yeah, I know: I am subscribed to my “old” versions of FRL so I can monitor what’s up with the feeds.)
The new feed address, btw, is http://freerangelibrarian.com/rss2withcomments.xml … plus an [...]

Update: KQED will fix spots, credit MPOW

January 12th, 2006 · No Comments

Yes, KQED will fix the radio spots and give us credit. Our rep was properly apologetic. I still want to wrap my hands around the neck of whoever read MPOW’s URL wrong and hiss in his ear, “I’ll do what I can to see a typo on your gravestone someday.” That, I have decided, would [...]

Blog Migration Update

January 10th, 2006 · 1 Comment

So, the bad news is I can’t use a custom 404 page, because my ISP runs PHP as a cgi. (If you don’t know what that means… well, trust me, it’s for my own good.) The good news is that plain ol’ redirects work just fine, meaning I can do the RSS feed redirects I [...]

A Million Little Untruthinesses

January 10th, 2006 · 4 Comments

Progress on Blog Migration

January 8th, 2006 · 2 Comments

I’ve got to scurry to church, but first, thanks to Steve “See Also” Lawson for the additional CSS to convert my stylesheet to liquid layout.
Forgive the eschatological bent of this item’s category (”lastentries”); I found a technique for exporting entries in a specific category, and I’ll use it to update the test blog before [...]
