PINGING THE PINGER

Radio is great blogging software for two kinds of people: those who live, breathe, and eat html and have been blogging for years, and those who are just starting out, want something more reliable than Blogger, and don't care what their site looks like or can do.

Then there's fools like me. I want to tweak and adjust and my site conform to my vision of a worthy blog, with convenient features and useful options.

I'm screwed.

It's taken me about 8 hours over 6 weeks just to figure out how to change my old permalink symbol (#) to the word "permalink".

Let's just say Radio isn't newbie-friendly, and it's got a learning curve that makes Dolly Parton look like Renee Zellweger.

Ok, I'm done being bitter. Now it's time to find out if the trackback feature (another hour of digging & poking to find this) works. I will now attempt to ping the Alliance pinger. I really hope this works.

I wonder if I can ping myself?

LEFTIES ALMOST RIGHT

A while back, I pointed out that Right Wing News had posted a list of great figures in American history, as selected by a group of right-wing bloggers. Now he's gone and asked some lefty bloggers to list their picks. The results were nowhere near as bad as I would've expected. Bill Clinton was nowhere to be seen, and the only really offensive choices are Eugene V. Debs and Cesar Chavez.

And they even managed to put Thomas Jefferson all the way up at #4. Go take a peek at the rest.

SIZZLIN' SUCCOTASH

I'm a little late with this, but Wizbang has the Bonfire of the Vanities #8 up with a spiffy "pimps & ho's" theme. He's got the soul-crushing disparaging commentary, and the entrants have...

Well, they have it coming to them.

Except for this twerp, who went and entered something FUNNY in what's supposed to be a collection of horrid, train-wreck revulsion.

Anyway, if you're not familiar with the hampster dance, click on the "this site" link. If you are, (or if you just learned) click on the "this one" link. I enjoyed it, but then again, I used to play Doom in multi-hour marathon sessions, so there might be a connection.
