I have enjoyed reading about presentations at the recent ALA annual conference. Of particular note for me are Owen Stephens’ extensive notes, available here. The ability for those who aren’t present at conferences to quickly catch up on essentials of what was discussed is, to me, hugely important and beneficial. I’m thankful for [...]

I just figured out that commenting has been disabled for a long while on FML due to a weird PHP error. I just assumed that since I wasn’t posting on an active basis, noone had any desire to comment! Well, anyway, now that I know about it, I’ve fixed it and commenting should [...]

Mark Lindner kindly pointed out to me today that some people may not know where the poll is that I mentioned in a post a few days ago. This is because if you read this post — like most people — via an RSS aggregator and go to the single post page on FML, [...]

In an effort to try something new (polling) as well as to get some feedback on aspects of this blog, I loaded up the excellent WP-Polls plugin tonight and created an initial poll. The question I’m asking from now (Tuesday, April 22) through next Monday (April 28) is the following:

I’ve decided to give a new commenting add-on for this blog a try. I read the following article that reviews several similar services. I’ve tried coComment but haven’t been satisfied for a number of reasons. I decided to give Disqus a try. Let me know if, as a result, you have [...]

My friend Ashley emailed me and mentioned that comments don’t appear to be working. Is that true for others? Please let me know via a comment. Thanks.
[OK, it's been a long day but that was incredibly dumb, even for me. If comments aren't working then OBVIOUSLY you won't be able to leave a [...]

One of the things about blogging that I have yet to figure out is the etiquette of commenting, or more specifically, responding to comments.  This goes for comments people make on my blog entries, as well as comments that I make on other people’s blogs.
It is really important, in my mind, to pay attention to, [...]

I’m sure this isn’t a new or revolutionary idea, but here goes anyway: Am I the only one who thinks it isn’t as easy at it should be to jot down a comment on a posting on someone’s blog? I think there is definitely a barrier there in existing blogging and news aggregator [...]

Lots of nice improvements have been made recently in web-related software and services that I regularly use. Here is a list of the ones I can think of that are worth mentioning:

coComment: This service just keeps getting better. Now it allows me to track conversations via webpages or comments on individual postings. [...]

Thanks to a comment from Jay Datema (newly appointed Technology Editor for Library Journal who oversees the LJ Techblog) on my post regarding the marginalization of comments in the blogosphere, I found a nifty new service (well, new to me, anyway) called coComment. coComment provides the ability for you to track and view your [...]
