Links posting

I use a really great service called Diigo, which has many features I’ve left unexplored. I’ll try to remedy that by installing the “Daily blog post” tool, which (as I understand it) uploads my public Diigo bookmarks once a day to this site (the vast majority of my bookmarks are private, but I’ll try to remember to keep some of them public…).

We’ll know soon if it works!

update: I might have to change my settings for this “Daily blog post” tool (if it even works for my blog, which has been known to have limitations — and not just the kind deriving from its author!).  Currently, the tool is set to blog not just the article link itself, but also all my underlining/ highlighting within the article, plus my commentary (the “stickies”).  As I sometimes get carried away with underlining and/ or adding comments, this could make for some damn long posts that could get tedious fast.  But I’ll wait and see, and decide once a bookmark actually get uploaded automatically.

Your reception is just fine…

…the fiddling is happening at my end.

I’m exploring different themes — bored as I am with being confined to my house (and even my bed) because of this pesky pneumonia. I’ve settled on what I think is a very nice, functional theme, which (unlike the previous ones) gives me some options in changing the header — including adding images.

So excuse the construction, I might zip through variations pretty quickly (or not). Currently (3:23 PST) I uploaded an image of ladies having afternoon tea at the Empress Hotel, probably in the 40s. The theme requires that I crop the image significantly, so I’m not sure I’ll keep this one.

But I like that it has people in it. The problem is that the white lettering of my blog’s name doesn’t show up well, so let’s see if I can fiddle with that, too… !

It’s too bad I don’t have the energy (8 days of not getting enough oxygen will do that to you) to scan my FOCUS Magazine articles and upload them as PDFs to my blog, because the “my articles in FOCUS Magazine” link is now right in the header, which is great. But the thought of fooling around with the scanner and another machine (vs. my laptop in bed) is too much, so it’ll have to wait.
