I just added another bunch of stuff to my story on Search Engine Tips.  If you print it out, it now runs to about 4 1/2 pages with almost 50 significant links on such topics as: Links to other people evaluating Search Engine Choices. How to get your weblog listed on tons of Search Engines. How to get a Search Engine on your Radio Weblog. Navigating other Weblogs by a variety of criteria. Locating directories of Weblogs. Locate someone e-mail address, or phone #. Search non-public websites. Subscribe to alerts notifying us when a popular search query changes. As I add additional stuff here, the volume of loose ends that I want to untangle continues to grow. 3:43:32 PM

Radio Fantasy - use Radio as a tool in the fight against Spam.  [Scripting News] QUOTE At 4:30PM, I checked my email. Forty messages. All spam. Every one of them. UNQUOTE [Scripting News] We need better tools to root out the content that is not spam, buried in the garbage of stuff generated by marketing and viruses.  How about our e-mail going to LIKE mailboxes but from there, just send selected heading info via RSS variant to LIKE News Aggregation, except we can sort by who sent it, the subject, etc. and options we take on the list of topics can be propagated back to our e-mail. Delete these; forward these to the Spam police, then delete them; this is something I want to keep. Last April I switched e-mail addresses.  At that time I was receiving several hundred spam a day.  It dropped to nothing for a month, then began to slowly climb.  I now getting a handful each day. I have some regular correspondents whose ISPs have instituted spam fighting software that generates false positives on me.  I get several e-mails a week bouncing back to me because of this.  For those individuals I fortunately have alternate e-mail addresses.  I just send a note to the primary e-mail to let them know something is at the secondary because of this scenario.   1:07:40 AM

I continue to update my stories. Blog Books is a reference list that you might use if you interested in buying a book on Blogging. Radio Wishes got a section on Archives added right after my last post. 12:56:23 AM
