looking through blogger. wow, i’ve yet to miss a day of posting since i’ve started again. even i’m impressed by my lack of better things to do.(or ability to put off thing i’m supposed to be doing…)
oh, noticed that matt haughey posted the <BlogItemNumber> idea this week. it’s neet seeing new features propagating through blogs. first it was the open in the new window doohickey, and now the link to the post doohickey. there is definitely a weakness to the adhoc way of linking items to names though. i mentioned some of the problems with this technique last week. having a little icon helps in being able to copy the anchor, which is nice and useful, however, the main problem i see is that the name will not help in pointing to the permanent (archived) link, but only to the front page. so, if someone copies the link and points to it, it’ll be fine for the week, but the link won’t work the week after. sort of a bitch to deal with unless your content management system has some logic built in to deal w/ it. unfortunately, from reading matthew’s post, it looks like the ev and pb consider the issue settled. i’m definitely going to have to cogitate on this stuff when my brain is less fried. a lot of my non-existent spare time has been directed toward thinking about some of these issues for some side projects that i’m working on.
