For those of you that subscribe to the RSS feed for this weblog, you may not be aware that I am maintaining it in two places (Radio UserLand version and Manila version). Each has its own RSS feed, but the content is the same. I have finally started adding some features to the Radio UserLand version of my weblog, such as the XML Coffee Mug and the Spam-Free Mail-To Link. It did not take that much time for me to do it, but I guess there is a certain amount of inertia in anything new. I hope to add some more things soon. Thanks for the links this week from Scripting News, Guy Bjerke, and Russ Lipton. I apologize for not acknowleging earlier this week. I would like to get some feedback from readers of this weblog on the way I am presenting directory updates. At Robert Barksdale's suggestion, I made the directory entries on the weblog into active links. I would like to know if there are other changes that would help make this weblog more useful. You can use my new mail-to link on the Radio weblog to contact me, or see the About section on my Manila weblog. I am also interested in collecting entries for the directory, so send me links!
