Thanks, Tripbase! I received the following email on Wednesday: We have compiled a list of Tampa blogs which we think are fantastic resources for those who have an interest in the popular city. We have commended your website to our visitors and you can see your website listed at the following link: http://www.tripbase.com/d/tampa/ On the right hand side of [...] Ah, vacation’s over and I have one day on the new job under my belt. I’ll be training over the next few weeks and generally preparing to put my best foot forward at work. That means posts for this blog will be on an even more erratic schedule for the next three weeks. (I know. You’re [...] Apparently I’ve lost interest in the Internet. And so, I’m declaring this staycation week and not worrying about the Internet until Monday. Politics Monday, Summer Reading Wednesday, and Across the Tampa Blogosphere will return next week. Stay cool and see you by the pool. Walked around the neighborhood, had lunch at a local sandwich shop, finished a book. I think I’m going to take the day off from the internet, so there will be no edition of Politics Monday this week. I’ve gotta rest up for starting my new job next Monday! In the meantime peer into the future as [...] These are sad times at the Re/Creating Tampa household. Snickers the dog died Monday. We got Snickers from a shelter in Oklahoma in 2001. She had been rescued from an abandoned house along with her sisters Almond Joy and Mounds. When Jennifer and I met she was the dog lover and I was indifferent. Snickers’ kindness, [...] Until last night I was assuming my vacation spot would have wi-fi. Then it occurred to me – It might not have wi-fi! I’m off to the beach for the rest of the week. See you on Monday! Some recent additions to the Blogroll. All of these are blogs by people in the Tampa area, or about the Tampa area. Fashion Food Food: Fashion Meets Function Scallywag Journeys Tampa Bay Breakfasts General Interest If I could escape… (aka Crunciemommie) Neighborhood Looking through the list I see it’s about time I [...] I’ve decided to try and work Twitter back into my social media ecology, and started tweeting here. There won’t be much overlap in content, but the themes will be the same – Tampa, politics, things I find funny, art, science fiction, urban design, history, intellectual freedom, and random stuff that catches my attention. You can follow [...] Natalie missed baby week, but we’re happy to welcome her anyway. Welcome to the world little Natalie! Welcome to Earth, Ella! Congratulations TJP & BZ!! She’s beautiful. And now that’s over. I turned in my comprehensive exam this morning and life can get back on track. What’d I miss? Things will be a little slow around here this week as I work on my comprehensive exam for Library and Information Science. I got my question at noon today, and over the course of the next week I will research the topic and write a research paper. Thus I will demonstrate my ability to thoroughly [...] The Florida Media Co-op is a grassroots (or entrepreneurial if you prefer) effort to coordinate advertising on local blogs around Florida. If you want to advertise on some Florida blogs, FMC provides a quick, one-stop-shopping sort of place so you don’t have to deal with each blog proprietor individually. If you want to try to generate [...] New year’s day isn’t any fun without resolutions, so here are a few resolutions for this blog. 1. Bigger pictures! When I changed the template I made sure to include plenty of space for larger images and video embeds. 2. Fewer political posts. I think I’m going to constrain my comments on politics to one day [...] I hope everyone has/had a happy safe New Year’s Eve & I’ll see you all in 2010! http://www.flickr.com/photos/kwl/ / CC BY 2.0 Finally got the page redesigned. Let me know what you think! (There are still a few glitches and a few tweaks to make. There seems to be a problem with updating titles. The Vic Chesnutt post below is supposed to read 1964-2009, but the title refuses to be revised. Ah, fixed it.) I’ve started building a new template and should be rolling it out sometime in the next two weeks. This means – comments will work again! It’s a Christmas miracle! Or, at least it will be once I get all the kinks and bugs worked out. This would be moving much faster, but it seems like every [...] Yay! The semester is over and the new one doesn’t start until Jan. 11. Between now and then I have my regular work to do, and I’ll see what I can get done on this blog. It’s time to scrap the whole theme and design a new one for the new year. This means comments are [...] Here’s an example of the sort of thing that keeps me busy. A Few Social Networking Tools Not to Miss for Business Information: “Some questions stump even the savviest business reference librarians. Here are a few free social networking resources to help answer those questions. The key distinction between online social networks and [...] Hmmm, it seems like every WordPress update breaks my comments. It’s probably time to scrap this whole template for something fresh and less rickety, but who has the time!? Class all day Friday and Saturday, assignments (including a real-work-as-opposed-to-school-work deadline) due Thursday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. And then the push begins to finish 5 projects due the first week of December. If I weren’t doing so much work and school, I’d be writing more about hyper-polarization and how communities can search for common ground, [...] A few days ago my to-do list hit TWENTY items, but by the end of the weekend I should be down to ten. In the meantime, here’s a brief interview with Jimmy Wales. What is your greatest hope for the next 10 years? My to-do list continues to hover around 15 items. Yesterday I struck three things off the list, but added three new things. It’s been like that for a few weeks now, and peering into the future reveals no respite. All of this adds up to a slow time for blogging. But, before I return to my [...] It’s a cold! And it lingers, and it makes everything seem like no fun. Even writing snarky blog posts and browsing the Internets for weirdness and fun. (So that the title is not completely disappointing, here’s a chart so you can tell if what YOU’RE coming down with is a cold or a flu.) Classes all day today, and all day tomorrow, which means no Internet fun for me. Neglecting my work over the holiday weekend makes for a lot of catching up to do. The Internet will have to wait while I plow through a few hundred pages of dull textbook. if i did this correctly then this post should appear in r/ct’s new twitter feed. http://twitter.com/recreatingtampa Blogging and other Internet goodness has been interrupted the last few days by crummy service. This too shall pass. Last week I took off on a jetplane to visit the exotic foreign country of Canada. I’ve spent the last few days in Toronto. The trip was a rich mixture of the good and the bad. The bad is waiting in line after line, stunned at seeming airline incompetence and confusion. I got blisters on [...] |

Comment/Link Problem – UPDATED
If you come to a story from an RSS feed, or if you click on a post title to comment, the cursor will no longer recognize links in the post or allow copying of text within the post.
The nice folks at IntenseDebate (the commenting plugin I use) are looking into this glitch.
Links work fine from [...]
