(7:47 PM) | Adam Kotsko:
Things Change, Okay?
I have two changes to announce:- The inimitable Tara Smith will be joining us at The Weblog shortly. Tara is not related to Anthony Smith; she is, however, Richard's sister-in-law. I will leave it to her to share any further biographical details she deems necessary once she begins writing.
- Anthony Smith and I have decided we will take turns with the Thursday Translation Attempt, since we both know French. (Mike Schaefer, if you want to join in, with any language, that would be wonderful. In particular, the Czech presence in the blogosphere seems to be meager at best.) This week is his week.
Our absentee member, Monica, is busy preparing for a Tingle Showcase tour that will be visiting Chicago this coming Friday. If anyone would like to attend that show with me, let me know and I will get the information to you. Adam Robinson is said to be planning to attend this event, so it should be a veritable blogstravaganza. Anthony and I are frequently in the same room, but it is quite rare for three contributors to be physically present to each other.
I've also removed the icons for the Technorati profile and the Blogshares thing. In my experience, Technorati is not updated frequently enough to be very useful. The referals in Sitemeter are an adequate way to keep up with who is linking to The Weblog (more importantly, which links are actually being followed). Blogshares has apparently increased Robb's net worth exponentially, but ... um, I just decided I wanted to remove it. So. Alright, that's it.
UPDATE: The Weblog is apparently a top search result at google.fr for "roman sebrle naked." This results from the combination of Mike Schaefer's last post, which contained the name "Roman Sebrle," and my post about people going to hell, which contained the word "naked." I think it would be wonderful if our stats were artificially inflated by those looking for pornography.
"I came for the nudity -- but I stayed for the insightful commentary!"
