This is funny. I've posted more than ten times today. But my desktop site only shows my last ten posts. And I've got a typo I want to fix in a post that is beyond my last ten posts. What am I supposed to do? I guess I could wait until midnight when my calendar should move over to the next day. Then I could click on the link for the 8th and get to all my posts. Or I could go to bed and not worry about it. That's what I'm going to do. Is this god's way of telling me that I post too much?

My weblog really takes a long time to load. That's because the default (and suggested) setting for "How many days on the home page" is 7. That's probably a good idea. Let people see a week's worth of posts. But I guess I post a lot. And with all of TheBeard pictures it really takes too long to load. So I've dropped the "days" to 3. If people want to see more they can use the calendar.

Jonathon Delacour's very well written posts now seem entirely appropriate in length. Just a few days ago I was complaining that they were too long. They aren't too long at all. I was falling into that kind of thinking because of RSS feeds. They made me want short-and-sweet posts that fit nicely in my news aggregator. Maybe with a link to take me to something interesting. Without the news aggregator I am free to visit Jonatho's site and see the post as it was intended to be seen. I'm beginning to think we (whoever "we" is) should start an anti-news-aggregator movement. The news aggregator is seductive, but evil. We should avoid its temptations. It's way is easy and cheap, but ultimately far less rewarding than taking the time to visit a site and see what the author's whole person. Yes. If a weblog is the whole person, then posts in the news aggregator are just bits and pieces. Just eyes or hands, cut off and lying on a slab for our inspection. It's gross, I tell you.

Dave is really getting as bad as Apple with his teasing :)

One really good thing about getting rid of RSS feeds is that there is now no difference between sites that have RSS feeds and those that don't. Before a lot of my news came in through my news aggregator. But there were sites that don't have a feed that aI like to visit. So there was this really awkward disconnect between the sites I visit and my news aggregator. That's gone now.

Knowing that there is no news in my news aggregator is very weird. But cool. The first day of a new era!

Now that I no longer get my news from an RSS feed, I'll need to aggressively add sites to my blogrolls. There are a bunch of places I visit that aren't there right now.
