Boxes, boxes, boxes. My life is all about boxes. Lifting them is getting easier, so either I’m responding well to the workout involved in lifting everything I own four times, or The Raven packed all the heavy stuff first. Either way works for me.
Speaking of light stuff, here are a few site-related small things.
1) It’s been a while since I mentioned it here, so in case you were noticing those nifty looking photos that show up next to some commenters’ comments, and wondering where the button was that would give you one, it’s here. The icons are called Gravatars — Globally Recognized Avatars — and you just upload the image of your choice to the Gravatar site, after signing up with the email address you use to comment with, and cello! Your beautiful face — or whatever image you upload — shows up in that icon spot, as well as on many, many other sites that have Gravatars enabled.
2) Did you know yoou can subscribe to this site by email? It’s true. All you need to do is click this link, fill out the pop-up (which will be harder to do for some of you who’ve turned pop-ups off) then respond to the verification email that shows up in your inbox a minute later. You’ll get each day’s worth of posting in a single email, and the system will send you no other email of any kind ever except for confirming if you unsubscribe.
3) That badgy thing in the upper right hand corner that shows my RSS feed subscriber and Twitter follower numbers sometimes doesn’t show numbers. This is a known issue. You didn’t do anything wrong, though perhaps I did by not writing a routine that caches the last-accessed numbers for display when Twitter failwhales on it. (If any of you actually knows how to do that, drop a line. Cause I don’t.)
4) I haven’t heard from soul one about the Carnival of The Arid. We have a minimum participation threshold of one. You could be that one. Or someone else could if you spread the word to them.
Of course, once the box dust settles I’ll be soliciting entries from deserty bloggers. But why not beat the rush?
