Prodded by this shameful incident (Hat Tip: Laughingwolf), Natalie of Pickle Juice has some advice and perspective to offer bloggers whose ego takes over [permalink]. Among other gems:
"Your blog could disappear tomorrow and within a week everyone will have forgotten about it..."Admit it. She's right.
Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Just what is meant by "disappear?" muslimpundit disappeared without a trace some time ago - and up until the time he showed up as one of the breezes on this site, I checked his site for any traces. Zonitics "Edward Boyd" disappeared for some time, with a sort of a promise to return, perhaps. I often (every two, three, four weeks) checked to see if he had reappeared.
I don't know Natalie, but she's wrong. "Everyone" will not forget.
