BEFORE TOO LONG, YOUR CORRESPONDENT WILL BE BACK TO SOME SEMBLANCE OF NORMALCY WHEN IT COMES TO HIS BLOGGING ROUTINE here @ The Exaggerator after his well-deserved summer break.

Hence, this was perhaps as good a time as any to explain a few changes I intend to be making to make this blog more viable and worthwhile to all of you.

For starters, most of the postings will be live, "on the fly" such; this a byproduct of where Blogdrive, who hosts this blog, seems to forget where I've postdated a number of postings for later display, essentially requiring me to go back and get same posted in case it doesn't show as scheduled--usually 00h UTC--and perhaps such may be some class of a bug in the software as precludes this.

Which, in any case, will mean a greater emphasis, blogwise, on the day's events per my own interpretation. (I hope so, @ least. I guess you readers would concur.)

Not to mention more of my own thoughts as they become available to my own non-drug-influenced mind (hence, stop getting the idea that I'm somehow smoking cannabis or taking other mind-altering drugs on a daily basis if you get ideas that these opinions are somehow too much for you to stomach.)

=============

FOR ANOTHER, THE AVAILABILITY OF FURTHER TOOLS BY WHICH YOU CAN ADD THIS BLOG TO YOUR OWN WEBLOG OR WEBSITE, should you feel so inclined; this over and above mere subscription to the RSS feed therefor (which is the foundation for said tools).

These are highlighted in that part of the sidebar where I discuss subscription options for said RSS feed, and are especially welcome for such who are fond enough of The Exaggerator to include such on their own weblogs, as opposed to merely receiving a daily e-mail brief or reading such in any feed readers they use. Which, in its own way, can help attract traffic to this blog in the process.

Check them out.

(This particular example is a rather easy one to add to your own site; all you need do is fill in the details, tweak it around to fit your own blog's parameters, and--Bob's your uncle!--just copy and paste the ensuing scripting code into your own blog's HTML scripting.)

=============

JINGOES AND XENOPHOBES, ESPECIALLY THOSE AMONG THE "MORALLY SUPERIOR" AMERICANS, TAKE NOTE: Because America is, sadly, not the same as The Entire World, particularly so when it comes to the news, I happen to be among that group of bloggers who feel that any news feeds worth offering on their blogs shouldn't necessarily be limited to American sources like CNN and (shock! horror!) Fox Prolefeed exclusively.

Hence, my adding the latest headlines (via RSS feed) from SwissInfo.ch and BBC News on the sidebar, towards the bottom of the page; the better to ensure a more realistically "fair and balanced" mix of the news (as opposed to Fox Prolefeed's travesty thereof).

As for my choosing SwissInfo, such can be said to go back to a certain gag of Stan Freberg on his summer 1957 radio series as called for referring to all National Minorities so appearing in character as "Swiss ... that way, we don't offend anybody." (As in playing on Switzerland's traditional neutrality, the which also extends to their public-service radio and TV broadcaster's news coverage as is the backbone of the SwissInfo website.)

Does this answer your question?

=============

IN CLOSING, I HOPE THAT I'VE GIVEN YOU A GOOD IDEA OF THE CHANGES TO EXPECT HERE WITH THIS BLOG with an eye towards making it a more enriching experience, yet still offering a virtual canvas by which Your Correspondent can still express himself as the mood requires.

And as long as he's close to the computer, understand.

So, to that end, consider subscribing to the RSS feed and make it all the more a habit. And be sure to recommend this blog to your friends.

Oh, and One Thing More: If you have any online shopping to do, consider doing so through the online-shopping section. Your Correspondent has a rather worthwhile e-tailer affiliate selection that would be a terrible thing to let waste, let alone use as an honest and worthwhile way to supplement his disability benefits through the Internet; my distaste for scams and frauds invoking the Information Stuporbahn is obvious and well-known, and would prefer making money online through honest ends and means.

Now: Any questions?
