Warning, this blog is very unfunny, but I need to get a few announcements out of the way and Saturday is a good day for housekeeping. Or so the wife tells me when she leaves for work.

1)Site updates. Tech guy worked his little fingers off the last day or so to add some reader requested enhancements. The 2 most major changes:

a)Email a link – at the bottom of every blog, everywhere blogs appear on the site, is a new link named, uh, email a link. Clicking it takes you to a form where you can email your friends a link to that particular blog. Give it a whirl. Now it’s even easier to send someone a link to the site.

b)Karma ratings. Perhaps you noticed other new links at the bottom of the blogs. Those are for you to assign karmic ratings to a particular blog entry. Anywhere a blog appears, you have the option of indicating either you like, are neutral or you hate a given blog. This way I can separate the clunkers from the hits. Your karmic ratings move blogs up and down the ranking list in real time. If you want to see the rankings without voting, click the Reader’s Ratings at the left.

2)Other stuff. Still no agent, but I do have a pile of rejections. I thought it would take longer to get this many no’s, so I must be doing something right. At least they’re reading my queries. : )
