Some December Housekeeping

It was brought to my attention by a reader that the  “Comments”  fields on this blog had seemingly disappeared. 

I agreed, and pointed out that I had cunningly disguised them by renaming them (it’s an old government trick, that one). Comments is now “_ Bits of proof that I’m not mumbling into the void”. 

She is by no means a silly person, and admitted to reading quickly. But I am very aware that there are certain pieces of etiquette that advise someone posting, not to make navigation difficult or obscure. They should make it all as easily and quickly accessible as possible. 

Sure, but at the same time, I like the sentiment that I had expressed in changing the title. So I will try to hit some midway ground and advertise the fact that it is there.

You can still comment, are more than welcome to comment, just treat the “…bits of proof…” link at the bottom, as the comment field.

On to another topic. I was pleased for Jo Blogs recently, when she picked up a nomination in Cleo’s “Next Top Australian Blogger” competition. Thoroughly deserved. As though maintaining it’s infernal balance, the universe coughed up a hair-ball of recognition in my direction.

A lovely official looking thing with lots of correctly spelt words and phrases like “For immediate release” and  all sorts of self-important gear landed in my inbox.

As a fellow blogger, I was invited to become a key member for this exciting new organisation. I was told about the critical role that I play in gathering, assimilating and disseminating news and commentary (you are already starting to see the hole in their research, I assume.)

The director is going to get in touch with me because of the valuable asset that we can be to each other. 

Adam Bitely, said director - of NetRightNation.com - host address for ‘Americans For Limited Government‘, is obviously in deeper kaka than he has any idea, if he thinks that the Aussie bloke who throws together A Grey Area, should be “an important member of the conservative blogosphere.”

Smurf suggested infiltrate, destroy, rebuild. I think that sounds too much like hard work. I might indulge in a casual bit of white-anting though.

But the alarm bells that sound in my head as I read their sign off, actually drown out the TV. 

“Americans for Limited Government is a non-partisan, nationwide network committed to advancing free market reforms, private property rights and core American liberties.”

Maybe I should join. As they say, "keep your enemas closer."
