Welcome back, Marnie 

Marnie Webb is back in response to Lisa's stirring rally speech yesterday. If I have this right, Lisa spotted Marnie's desire to understand OPML better from a comment in Delicio.us (I never know where to stick the periods in that). Isn't that wild?

I occasionally visit her Tech Soup forums -- in fact I started then abandoned a thread on DRM there last December that I ought to pick back up. I think I may have doubted if I was in the right place when one of the moderators thought I must be talking about donor relations management, but then Sandra Whisler came along and seemed interested and encouraging so I should have pursued it. There's just not a lot of time for planning in my job, but we gotta gotta gotta loosen up. F'rinstance we don't allow people to print out PDFs of newsletters and magazine articles, but I have to learn more make an intelligent case for changing the policy.

So, yup, I totally understand the notion of not knowing enough, but knowing I need and want to know it -- and stalling a long time about doing anything about it!

Just one more thing 

Goodnight, Donovan. Goodnight Comic (I'm gonna keep calling you that, I think).

Donovan: 

Re blog comments to discussion group, here's something on it. In doing the search, it looks like people were turning off the capability in their Manila installations. Comment spam problems. I think I'm out of my depth, and getting sidetracked and I'd better stick to geting this site up! It's hard not to get sidetracked, though. It's fascinating and wideranging, this Frontier thang; it all feels just a little different from anything I've done before. It's its own world.

Grazr mini announced 

Mikepk tells about it on the Grazr blog. If I understand it right, it's the beginning of a fuller-featured reading list reader. It looks a little like Kosso's Flash blogroll, doesn't it? Mike is part of the RSS Alley contingent in Boston.

Yay Gary! 

Comic pulls it off. I guess I didn't know there was an opmlBlogs.root?
