Which means I just updated WordPress to the latest and Greatest version. Hopefully there won’t be too many problems.

Huh. Seems a little faster.

Haven’t quite figured it out yet. Or if I even really want to be a ‘tweeter’….

When someone responds negatively to a comment I made on someone else’s blog or on a message board, I have a hard time letting it go.

I just HAVE to respond. There’s something in me that wants to have the Last Word.

I can’t help it. It must happen several times a year. Which isn’t that often so I’m not as bad as some people but still… It feels like I’m behaving badly.

And even when I can refrain from responding AGAIN, having learned that some times it’s best to JUST LET IT GO, I have a hard time checking NOT for additional comments. I want to know what people think. I care what nameless, faceless people on the Internet think about my opinions.

Scary. And sad…

( it’s like a big game of Internet Chicken. Who’s going to blink first? And how do you keep score?)

That Last Word? Not really important. But I want it. Gimme!

It never makes it out of the moderation queue. Ever. And it’s obvious what it is.

It’s been getting rather heavy lately. But I’m still not letting it thru.

There’s a new WordPress iPhone blogging app. Give it the URL and login info for your WordPress blog and away you go.

Haven’t tested it, beyond making sure I can access my blog. The previous version was okay. This one looks better.
