I think of my blog kinda like this: I've put up a sign outside my house that says "Public Book Club Meeting Here". My regular readers and commenters are guests at my house. We have all read the same book (actually, just the day's blog post) and we're sitting around talking about it. If someone … Continue reading Random Blog Housekeeping Items
