Some New Buttons and Links

Well, I've finally started making some changes to the 'look and feel' of the blog: I added a link to my Technorati Profile: I was going to put up the nifty little button they offer to gather links to here, but I got tired of the blog taking so long to load ... even locally.

I removed the Blogarama button, as I don't seem to be listed there anymore, and I really don't feel like taking the time to resubmit. Blog directories are pretty useless, in my not-so-humble opinion.

I also changed the FreeBSD button to a more managable size - the one I had was from the front page of our family site, and was just too big to work in the column I've got running here. And it didn't scale too well, either.

I finally added a donation button, via PayPal. Given the fact that I've been unemployed since last November, the farm is still being built and collections from my consulting business are getting really annoying (average time from non-farm invoice to payment is 60 days - at least farm sales return immediate cash), I figured I'd better go ahead and beg a bit. If you like what you read here, by all means feel free to support my favorite charity: me!

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
