I’ve finally updated Odd Ends to the latest WordPress (including tags) and have this spiffy new look. I tried very hard to make as few edits to the theme and plugins as possible so that I don’t have to wait so long between updates in the future, but some things have changed, particularly for the oldest posts. I don’t think there will be any functional problems, though, but please let me know if there are.

Not a very active poster at the best of times, you might have noticed I’ve slowed down quite a bit lately. I have been distracted, I admit it! I’ve been working on a new blog-like thing, Bookp(h)ile. There I’ll keep track of the progress of the books I’ve got going at Distributed Proofreaders, the open clearances I have for Project Gutenberg, as well as listing books I’m planning on submitting to PGDP.

Things here at Odd Ends won’t change much, except eventually I’ll be removing the In Progress list. And maybe changing the theme, because I really like the one I have at Bookp(h)ile.

Thanks for your patience!

Odd Ends has updated to WordPress 2.0.1. Please let me know if you experience any issues. You shouldn’t, but one never knows, does one?

Odd Ends has a new look, thanks to the nice, graphics-free Boxy but Gold theme by Kafkaesquí Oseo. Thanks, Kaf!

Is it good to create a technorati tag?

No Posts Yet! Congratulations, you’ve discovered a tag with no posts! To contribute to this tag, just make a post to your blog about periodical and include a link to this page like so:

periodical

If your blog software is configured to automatically ping us, there’s nothing more you need to do – your post should appear here automatically. If your blog software is not configured to ping us, you can ping us manually.

And when I do, is it no longer special?

Update oops! Should I have actually posted content about periodicals? Ok, here’s a list of all the periodicals I’ve been involved with at Project Gutenberg, through Distributed Proofreaders.

Is it me? Is Odd Ends a butt of the jokes of the technical elite? I tried to “claim” Odd Ends on Technorati. Everything goes ok… I get the link and put it in the sidebar, and then on the “members page” it says to “Ping Technorati to finish.”

So I go to the Ping page and enter the OE url and wait… and wait… and never does it change to that lovely “Ping Received!” notice. And so Technorati doesn’t think I’m serious about this cosmos thingy.

Phooey. So I write a post which should auto-ping ‘em. We’ll just see if that is more amenable to the Technorati Ping servers.

Odd Ends is undergoing a bit of remodeling. Not only have we (we since now there are two authors ) changed the look, we’ve changed the guts of Odd Ends. We’re now using WordPress instead of Blosxom. I like Blosxom, but I was never comfortable with customizing it.

If you came here because of an old link (or a Google search) and can’t find what you want, rest assured it is still here — use the search box in the sidebar to locate it!

Thanks for stopping by — hope you enjoy your visit!
