Testing My Changes

There was no post yesterday because I reverted to my original career as a nerd from my fourth career as an author.  For the last thirty-six hours I have been writing code to make my blog more useful (with help from both TypePad and del.icio.us).

Naturally, I have been testing with a test blog and not with Fractals of Change itself.  Those tests worked finally so now we go into production.

As every nerd knows, the first production use of new code is really a test.  I hope you'll be able to see this post but who knows.  I've also left myself a way to back out the changes but who knows whether that'll work until I try it at which point it'll be too late to find out that it doesn't.

After I shower and reintroduce myself to Mary, I'll blog about the changes I made.  Meanwhile have fun looking for them and feel free to Comment if you like them/don't like them/are having problems because of them.

Hint (for nerds only): if you subscribe to the Atom feed of the blog you WON'T see any changes.  I'm working on that.

UPDATE:  The Atom feed should be upgraded as well.  This repost is a test of that.

This is way too nerdy for me ... I just like reading what you write. I can pick up a type or two with each blog but nothing technical ... but I'm sure you had fun writing code for 36 hours so I'm happy. Suze

Sorry about the double post.

Okay, why did the most recent comment, your reply to Hans, appear above the older one? Is this a feature or a bug?

I haven't waded into del.icio.us yet. Their web site is not visually appealing. I don't think that their system is intuitive at all.

Kindle: Amazon's Wireless Reading Device

Not quite as good as a real book IMHO but a lot lighter than a trip worth of books. Also better than a cell phone for mobile web access - and that's free!
