A conversation with one of my fabulous readership:

If I like a site (or anything else), I take the time to point out what I think could be better. It’s a compliment. I’m glad you saw that- people can be defensive- think you’re hating when you do the suggestion bit.. I can’t help it. I went to school for art and we are taught to do just that.

How odd. Why would anyone be defensive about suggestions to improve something?

So here are some more compliments… )

w00t! I like complements!

A “home” link would be nice. I keep trying to click on “Lisa 4.0″ to go to your main url. (doh!)

It does that already… but as I noted earlier, I’m using a “real” browser, Firefox, not some interloper pretending to be something useful (IE). ;)

You name your posts by number, which is cool, but hard for a reader. I’m linked to an RSS feed now that tells me the numbers of the most recent posts, but not any hint as to what I might find in said post. It’s hard to navigate to a particular recent post one remembers- or tell what one has or hasn’t yet read when they are only sorted by number (and tags, but that’s by subject, not chronological). Maybe… A link on the right of most recent posts (with summary)? Naming posts? A calender?

Yes, I was being deliberately obtuse when I decided just to number the posts. I find it difficult to think of a title for things sometimes, so numbering seemed the easiest way around this. And every other blog on the planet has titles for posts and I wanted to be different. Course, different is not always better. I shall work on this…

Do you really look like the illustration at the top right?

Slightly. I wear those sorts of clothes, have that length of hair (well, slightly shorter but not far away from it).. but am not green.

It wouldn’t be so odd to subscribe to your own blog. Pretend to be a reader and see how it works… (at least that’s what I tell myself as I am linked to my own feed!)

Thought it might be that fine line that’s being crossed between enlightened self awareness and terminal egotism.

But I could be convinced either way!

I’ve been asked by one of my fabulous readers for an RSS feed for the site. Wow, I’m popular…

I’ve actually added one to the sidebar, but the template I’m using doesn’t actually display it.

However, in the address field (top of the screen where the URL is), there is a little RSS icon, which if you click, will take you to another page to subscribe to the site.

Now, I put a little disclaimer on this: I’m using Firefox on a Mac. I don’t know if it will appear in Internet Exploder, Safari or any of the plentiful other web browsers out there. I know it works in Firefox, and that’s Good Enough For Me!

Course, I’m not the one that’s going to subscribe to my own blog. That would be egotistical and perhaps even slightly odd.

Muahahaaaaaa…

ps. The RSS icon appears in Firefox on eXtra Problems too!

pps. The RSS icon doesn’t appear in the address bar in IE7 on XP, but it is available as a button which links to the subscription page.

ppps. I’ve added an RSS feed link in the links panel at the right :)
