RELOCATION NOTICE - WE'RE MOVING!
This may not work, but assuming it does, you need to change your bookmarks, favorites and blogrolls. It is 11:50pm CDT on Saturday, July 20, 2002. If all goes well, this site will be relocated within the next few hours.
This weblog is leaving http://radio.weblogs.com/0100740/.
Look for it at: http://www.rodentregatta.com/
Thanks, Steve Pilgrim
LINKING TO THOSE WHO LINK
Is this similar to Mark Pilgrim's "Further Reading on Today's Posts" where he indicates who has linked to his site? How is that accomplished?

SMALL BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

Traction and Radio. Roland Tanglao liked my review of Traction, but reconsidered when Jim McGee pointed out that Traction is a whole lot more expensive: ... [Jon's Radio]
THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY SENSIBLE APPROACH
for evaluating knowledge management tools as they might be applied in small organizations. We also do some small business consulting and advisory work and our clients want a tool, but often lack the disciplines to use them well. Terry says this, "But Radio is still a lot closer to reaching the mythical Zero Contribution Barrier that I believe is critical to any long-term KM success."

I SUPPOSE THIS IS ALL VERY IMPORTANT
I just don't recall covering this in any of our 29 lessons.
No tables for Lycos. Lycos Europe will be moving to a new design that validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional and uses CSS for layout.... [Buzz]
IF DESIGN DID NOT MATTER...
airlines wouldn't spend so much painting airplanes. Politicians wouldn't spend so much on banners, handbills and signs. Companies wouldn't spend so much on corporate identity packages. Imagine the cost of changing a logo or color at a place like Federal Express.
I'm confident that part of what draws me into a weblog or web site is the design. I know good design when I see it, but I surely do wish I could create it!
Why to build your own template. During a spell of blogsurfing yesterday, I repeatedly ran across links to Paul Andrewss blog. The other end of one such link spurred me to do what Jonathon Delacour calls fossicking around in the blog archives. Only then did I... [Caveat Lector]

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO BLOGROLLING
Linkless. I just dropped the [Links] section on the navigation bar for this site. I went in to drop BurningBird and looked over the list and realized how out of date it was. Too much work to keep it up to date so now I am just gonna let Google do the work, with the addition of the "related sites" link under [misc]. [BitWorking]

Fixing Yourtm Web Site with Dr. HTML
One of the goals of this site is to provide you with tools to help you fix your Web site.
It's not easy to take a Web site that's underperforming and make it better. There are aesthetic issues, marketing issues and, most importantly, technical issues. That's where Doctor HTML can come in to help. You can't fix the technical issues if you don't know what they are.

at Fireland. You can get world reaction here. I don't know either of these people, but I've often wondered if Joshua Allen is related in any way to Dean Allen. (This is probably another of those all over the board posts, but both Joshua and Dean are terrific designers.) Anyhow, I wish Joshua and Alexis all the best.
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS
gets added to the shopping list. Terry Frazier weighed in with a comment and an educational post about my question earlier today. I also got a comment from Dave Rogers. Thanks to both of you! Oh, and Rob made a couple of great suggestions without coming right out and calling me a dummy. If you haven't already, check out the apple cores for permalinks.
