Incidentally, if you like what I write, check out my other weblog on my server. It also has a picture gallery. The blog software there is my own, the type that is held together with unreasonable amounts of duct tape. If I know you, ask me for an account and you will get to see even more pictures. And more rants as well. 9:58:00 PM

Google will no longer show weblogs in the standard search page. It was suspicious how quickly bloggers appeared at the top when searching for something that also happened to be a popular blogging topic. I noticed that by merely making a couple of blog entries in the hosted Radio blog of Userland I could effortlessly stand atop a self-made mole-hill. Well, google has caught on and may have a separate section for the bloggers. It makes sense to me but I'm sure there are others who, having been kicked off their hill, will disapprove. For the common good, however, I believe that Google is moving in the right direction. ordinary users who want to see authoritative references to a topic will no longer be presented with a surface-skimming blog. But, how is Google going to distinguish between a blog and something that is not? 9:43:48 PM
