John Robb posts the code for adding a Google search widget to your blog (or any site, really). However, as I read it, it seems to work with entire domains (for example, jrobb.userland.com). Sites like this whose root address is a subdirectory of a root domain (this site’s address is currently blogs.salon.com/0001111/) may not benefit…

Also on the Driver 8 tip, another entry notes that Phil Pearson has “a new version of his comment monitor … that will update me on new comments on my blog… through the RSS aggregator.”

A tip of the cap to Michel Vuijlsteke for spotting this line in Tom Tomorrow’s latest cartoon. Tomorrow is himself a webblogger, of course, blogging at This Modern World.

According to Friday’s Yahoo What’s New – Social Science, Scott Rosenberg’s Links & Comment and this site,

After I posted about blog regionalism, several commenters pointed out the international blogs right under my nose here at Salon, some of whom of course I’ve already been reading (linking to me is a sure way of getting my attention): The Devil’s excrement (on Salon) posts from Venezuela. That’s a start. Tom Fox [blog@tripledub.com] •…

My referrer log today shows about 20 hits from variations on people searching for Véronique de Cock, a spillover from my metacommentary on Michel’s rise in the Salon rankings. Michel is now posting occasionally in English, something I selfishly am glad to see. Of course I’m not completely monolingual. Everyone speaks different dialects. Maybe I…

Though my my.yahoo.com referrer was from a bookmark (as Dave Winer pointed out in my comments), reverse cowgirl is getting some action today from her new listing on Yahoo’s weblogs page (full name: Yahoo! Social Science > Communications > Writing > Journals and Diaries > Online Journals and Diaries > Web Logs). She was added…

I’ll be in the audience at the panel tonight at Berkeley (at 6:30). I was going to bring my laptop and try to blog it live, but Scot told me that there was no wireless and no easy way to get me ethernet (the only access is directly under the dais as I understand it).…

I am using namespace figuratively. I’ve noticed that the linktext for links to this site usually take one of several forms, roughly (unscientifically) in order of frequency: Radio Free Blogistan Blogistan Radio-Free Blogistan RFB xian Christian Crumlish These are all fine with me, though no hyphen is needed. I realized that the best of these…

Hello, my name is Christian and I’m monolingual. (“Hi, Christian!”) Yes, I did note Michel Vuijlsteke‘s rapid rise on the Salon charts in the last few days, saw that the language of his blog was Dutch (or Flemish?), and even discerned that a lot of his traffic (more than Scott’s these last few days) seemed…

I’ve noticed in the Salon blog rankings that filchyboy is listed twice. What’s up with that? Is John the Maiden broadcasting now to two different usernums? It tends to lower his rank. I notice I am posting more about Salon blogs while traveling. Probably a neighborhood thing. It’s easy for me to check out other…

She’s Actual Size, Nationwide, Believe refuses to take criticism from our Blogistan Baedecker lying down: Re: Viva Hate! Usually I don’t stoop to this level, but it’s been a rough day and I’m in the mood: This Self-Righteous Prat has decided that my little corner of blogspace is one of his examples of Bad Weblogs…

In Joe Conason’s Journal (that’s a link to the day — without permalinks it’s not a real blog…) he defends Andrew Sullivan’s new column in Salon against readers threatening to cancel their subscriptions: While I don’t share some writers’ obssesion with exposing Sullivan, I haven’t hesitated to expose his errors and I’ve expressed doubt about…
