				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://a.wholelottanothing.org/2005/09/flag_day.html">Matt Haughey has inspired other bloggers to organize an official day</a> to help us find spam blogs. This is such cool idea! In addition to helping Blogger find and delete spam this will also help us fine tune our <a href="http://buzz.blogger.com/2005/09/next-blog-now-with-less-spam.html">spamless nextblog algorithm</a>. Ultimately and hopefully, finding spam blogs by clicking nextblog will be a challenge. Please note that flagging a blog doesn't mean we'll delete it. Spam blogs are unique in that we have no qualms about rooting them out and bringing them to a desperate and violent end. Maybe we should attach a bloodcurdling scream to our spam-deletion scripts? Something to think about. If you're not sure what the flag button does, <a href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=1200">you can read more about it here</a>.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Jennifer Garret is going to read <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/grrl/jen_garrett/2005/08/i-charge-thee-fling-away-ambition.html">a new blog every day for 100 days</a>. That's the idea anyway.<br /><blockquote>I'm trying to broaden my horizons, so I'll go to blogs that may not immediately scream JenGarrett -- but I'm not going anywhere that promotes any kind of love for the Yankees. There has to be a line somewhere, people.</blockquote>She aims to "post about the blog of the day every day" though she makes no promise that she will not "come home tipsy at midnight and cheat and change the time of my post to make it onto the previous day." That sounds fair. I'm looking forward to seeing what she finds.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-112473279270837433?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Have you ever found yourself clicking the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/next-blog.do">Next Blog</a> button over and over again only to come across a blog that wasn't exactly to your taste? Maybe it was politically incorrect, potential hurtful, or just plain gross? Well, one person's vulgarity is another's poetry. Or something like that. When it comes to judging which is which, things can get a little tricky.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://buzz.blogger.com/media/flagthisblog.gif" /></div> That is why we have launched a new feature on the Blogger Navbar called <a href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=1200">Flag As Objectionable</a>. This feature allows the blogging community as a whole to identify content they deem objectionable. Have you read <i>The Wisdom of Crowds</i>? It's sort of like that. For more information on how this feature works, read <a href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=1200">What is the "Flag" button?</a>. (Note: a blog has to be republished in order for this new button to show up in the navbar.)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-112432898759457029?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

Do we have any natural advantage because we are identical twins and long-time bloggers?</blockquote> How cool would that be?

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Nonist has published (<a href="http://www.thenonist.com/downloads/thenonist_blog_depression.pdf">in PDF form</a>) an interesting little pamphlet called <a href="http://thenonist.com/index.php/weblog/permalink/a_nonist_public_service_pamphlet/">What Everyone Should Know About Blog Depression</a>.<br /><blockquote>There is a growing epidemic in the cyberworld. a scourge which causes more suffering with each passing day. as blogging has exploded and, under the stewardship of the veterans, the form has matured more and more bloggers are finding themselves disillusioned, dissatisfied, taking long breaks, and in many cases simply closing up shop. this debilitating scourge ebbs and flows but there is hardly a blogger among us who has not felt it’s dark touch. we’re speaking, of course, about blog depression.</blockquote>That's some deep, dark stuff.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://bloginspace.com/">Aliens love blogs too!</a><br /><blockquote>Alien Blog IconSome 60 years ago humans first began transmitting television signals powerful enough to reach beyond our earth's atmosphere. Since then the media has continued to broadcast messages from I Love Lucy to the five o'clock news into space, potentially reaching intelligent alien life forms beyond our solar system. Blogs In Space is the first entity to allow everyday bloggers to transmit the news and thoughts of an everyday person into space. Simply put we take your feed and transmit it out on a powerful deep space transmission dish.</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-112232705075149484?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://daddytypes.com/archive/2005/07/16/should_you_read_the_nannys_blog.html">Daddy Types</a> calls attention to some interesting developments of the blogging-at-work variety. There was this Nanny, see. And <a href="http://subvic.blogspot.com/">she had this blog</a>. And her employers started reading it and they didn't think it was the best thing ever so they fired her. But they didn't just fire her. They sifted through her blog looking for anything that could be pulled out and made to sound unseemly. Then one of these former employers published <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/17/fashion/sundaystyles/17LOVE.html?ex=1279252800&en=2aa784f268adbfde&amp;ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&amp;emc=rss">an essay in The New York Times</a> which began thusly:<br /><blockquote>OUR former nanny, a 26-year-old former teacher with excellent references, liked to touch her breasts while reading The New Yorker and often woke her lovers in the night by biting them. She took sleeping pills, joked about offbeat erotic fantasies involving Tucker Carlson and determined she'd had more female sexual partners than her boyfriend.</blockquote>Zing! Do you take salt or lemon with your wound? But the nanny is not the sort to take this lying down. She <a href="http://subvic.blogspot.com/2005/07/sorry-to-disappoint-you.html">blasted back on her blog</a>. See how that works? That's good stuff. And now the nanny, a student of literature, is being read by thousands of people. So you see, there is a silver lining to all things. (Also? The <a href="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2005/07/15/fashion/17love.jpg">NYT illustration</a> portrays the nanny as having man-hands and dating The Rock. I'm no lawyer but that very well could be libelous. I mean, he's the Scorpion King, that could reflect poorly on her future prospects.)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-112171233926904938?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

However, before I left I went to an Ottmar Liebert concert at the Saratoga Mountain Winery, the beautiful venue pictured above. In addition to playing some amazing music, Ottmar is supremely *with it* <a href="http://tinyurl.com/d3cwg">Free Culture style</a>. (This came as no surprise of course since it was <a href="http://vedana.net/">Eric Case</a> that turned me on to his acoustic stylings and geektastic leanings.) Ottmar is <a href="http://www.ottmarliebert.com/blog/2005/07/mountain-winery.html">blogging</a>, he's <a href="http://odeo.com/channel/3083/view">podcasting</a>, and he's released his music under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a> Sampling Plus license. Here's what he said to much applause at the end of strong set at the winery:<br /><blockquote>"I decided that copyright, it sort of seemed like everybody was holding on to everything. So as an artist I thought, "What can I do?" Open the hand. So what we're doing is releasing the album with a Creative Commons license. It's a sampling plus license."</blockquote>If you get a chance to go to one of Ottmar's concerts, I highly recommend it. If you can't make it to a live show then <a href="http://odeo.com/channel/3083/view">listen to his music online</a> or buy <a href="http://www.lunanegra.com/www/ssri/release/ssri_release_set.html">his current release</a>. It's good stuff.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-112113603844831027?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Via <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2005/06/30/the_strange_world_of.html">BoingBoing</a> comes this post at The Republic of Geektronica: <a href="http://www.geektronica.com/2005-06-30-the-strange-world-of-blogspot-spam-blogs">The Strange World of Blogspot Spamblogs</a>, which points out a new kind of spam on Blog*Spot. People are creating seemingly legitimate news blogs which contain spam links cleverly hidden by CSS. Geektronica, you rock. Thanks for finding this sneaky spam. We're hoping to leverage more of this kind of help from the community in the future.<br /><br />But wait! There are a few things I'd like to address in the Geektronica post. The post states that Blogspot "apparently does not have a policy against" spam but our Terms of Service states that we will terminate spam (and we do). It also says "Blogspot now requires CAPTCHA authentication to start a new account." We require CAPTCHA authentication to create <i>new blogs</i>, not new accounts. There's a big difference there because one account can have many blogs. While we're on the subject of CAPTCHA let me say that we never thought it would "fix the problem" of spam. CAPTCHA has had an impact but also has accessibility drawbacks that prevent it from being a complete solution.<br /><br />The braintrust here at Google has lots of experience dealing with spam and the Blogger crew is actively leveraging this talent to find new ways to combat the problem. Kudos to The Republic of Geektronica for taking note of this new wrinkle and yes, we are working hard against spamblogs.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-112024224847318027?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have a fix for Blogger users experiencing template woes due to our recent update. First, I'd like to explain what the issue was.<br /><br />In order to provide the layout options in our newly released Blogger Images we had to wrap all posts in a <code>&lt;div clear:both></code> tag. For some users this resulted in template formatting issues (even without uploading images). So today we introduced a new setting to suppress that markup. <br /><br />Please note that suppressing the markup will result in layout problems when using left or right alignment for images. You should only change this setting if you are currently having trouble with normal posts.<br /><ol><b>How To Use The Setting</b><br /><li>Sign in to your Blogger Dashboard</li><li>Click the "Change Settings" icon next to your blog</li><li>Click "Formatting" under the Settings tab</li><li>Choose "No" on "Enable float alignment"</li></ol>That should do the trick. Thanks for being so patient while we got this figured out and implemented.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-112007897524800787?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Update#2: </span>There is a way to fix the layout problem without using any special code. It is now just a setting in Blogger: <a href="http://buzz.blogger.com/2005/06/layout-solution_29.html">Read all about it</a>.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><br />Update: </span>We've got a solution that provides users an easy way to disable the markup that is causing them some layout glitches with their blog. It will allow those who have custom templates and certain older templates to fix their blog up right proper. We're building and testing the solution now and we'll let you know when it is ready.<br /><br />As mentioned on our <a href="http://status.blogger.com/2005/06/update-theres-fix-posted-over-at.html">status blog</a>, recent updates to Blogger are causing annoying layout problems for some of our users. We are working on the bigger solution for this but in the meantime we've got a quick workaround for what appears to be one of the biggest culprits--the big space at the top of your blog, most notably blogs using the Bluebird template. This workaround requires that you modify your template. Here's how to do it:<br /><br />Just below the line that says <code>&lt;style></code> or <code>&lt;style type="text/css"></code> try adding this:<br /><br /><pre>#main #menu {<br />position: absolute;<br />right: 21px;<br />}</pre><br /><br />Then save and republish. This should help with the big space issue. Some modified templates might not respond to this. We'll continue to work on this but let us know (bloggerbuzz@gmail.com) if this doesn't work for you. Remember to copy and save your template in a text editor before you make any changes and for more information about editing templates visit our <a href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=666">Help site</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-111992256409198033?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

The Federal Election Commission is considering rules (<a href="http://www.cdt.org/speech/political/20050404fec.pdf">Proposed Rules PDF</a>) that would apply federal campaign finance regulations to online speech. The FEC says it wants to regulate only paid advertising on the Internet but the proposed rules seem to go well beyond that. For example:<br /><ul><b>Proposed Rules for Bloggers</b>   <li>Mandatory disclaimers on political blogs</li>   <li>Team blogs must register as a "political committee" </li>   <li>Bloggers to file campaign expenditure reports</li> </ul> The <a href="http://www.cdt.org/">Center for Democracy and Technology</a> and the <a href="http://www.ipdi.org/">Institute for Politics, Democracy &amp; the Internet</a> at George Washington University have launched a campaign to educate the FEC, and have posted a <a href="http://fec.cdt.org/">helpful website</a> where you can <a href="http://fec.cdt.org/wrong.html">learn more</a> and <a href="http://fec.cdt.org/signup.php">take action</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-111827057289795334?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[My former neighborhood of Potrero Hill in San Francisco, CA <a href="http://www.potrerohillsf.com/">has its own blog</a>. It's a really nice one too. There's a post about a <a href="http://www.potrerohillsf.com/2005/06/purse-snatching-20th-connecticut.html">purse snatching on 20th and Connecticut</a>, another <a href="http://www.potrerohillsf.com/2005/06/22nd-street-caltrain-station.html">about a free outdoor showing of Spaceballs</a>, and even on-the-street updates about <a href="http://www.potrerohillsf.com/2005/06/22nd-street-caltrain-station.html">22nd Street Caltrain Station improvements</a>.<br /><br />A neighborhood blog is a really cool idea. It'd be neat if all neighborhoods had a blog like this. Then when you're thinking of moving somewhere, you can just Google the neighborhood and get the skinny.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-111826691507268081?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[There was a blogging panel at this year's <a href="http://www.bookexpoamerica.com/">Book Expo America</a>. I kinda wish I had remembered BEA earlier and at least made an attempt to go. There are thousands of exhibits, hundreds of authors, conference sessions, parties, latest titles across genres, and lots of meeting with various publishing people of various sorts and kinds. Plus, it would have been nice to visit with friends in New York. Nevertheless, these bloggers went.<br /><ul>   <li><a href="http://bookpagebuzz.blogspot.com/2005/06/first-day-of-bea-was-busier-than-we.html">Buzz Girl</a></li>   <li><a href="http://www.chekhovsmistress.com/2005/06/book_expo_panel.html">Chekhov's Mistress</a></li>   <li><a href="http://www.edrants.com/reluctant/002108.html">Return of the Reluctant</a></li>   <li><a href="http://www.beatrice.com/archives/001492.html">Beatrice</a></li>   <li><a href="http://marksarvas.blogs.com/elegvar/">The Elegant Variation</a></li>   <li><a href="http://rachelpink.typepad.com/rachelpinkridesthebus/2005/06/bea_is_a_bear.html">Rachel Pink Rides the Bus</a></li> </ul> So there you have it.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[I just discovered something lame. You can only insert hyperlinks from your Internet Explorer Favorites or History when you are composing a rich-text email with <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/entourage2004/entourage2004.aspx?pid=entourage2004">Entourage</a>. What if you don't use Internet Explorer? What if you haven't already visited the page you want to link to? That's crazy. This affects <a href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=135">Mail-to-Blogger</a> users who use Entourage to update their blog and want to put hyperlinks in their posts because of <a href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=1149">the way Blogger handles HTML in Mail-to-Blogger</a>. Not sure how many users we're talking about here. It might just be the one guy who emailed me but, still.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.adventurealternative.com/everestpost2005/">Gavin Bate</a> who has been blogging while climbing Everest on a solo bid in aid of Moving Mountains children's charity (<a href="http://buzz.blogger.com/2005/03/blogging-mount-everest.html">we posted about him here</a>) has summitted Everest! He even left an <a href="http://www.audioblogger.com/media/28841/197357.mp3">Audioblogger message from near the top</a>.<br /><blockquote>As a deflated Gavin prepared to make his descent he noticed a slight change in the winds and decided to wait and see how things would unfold. That night the clouds cleared and the winds dropped and it was all back on again.</blockquote>Good work on that.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-111774510104703102?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

At PostSecret, found at postsecret.blogspot.com, the confessions are consistently engaging, original and well told. How come? The Web site gives people simple instructions. Mail your secret anonymously on one side of a 4-by-6-inch postcard that you make yourself. That one constraint is a great sieve. It strains out lazy, impulsive confessors.</blockquote><a href="http://postsecret.blogspot.com">Postsecret</a> is worth a look.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-111757623548700082?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

What these people forget when they're arguing that running faster will make you slide further is the fact that I also weigh a lot more than I did when I was 6. So, in my opinion, these two factors cancel each other out.</blockquote>Interesting theory, chump. I will take that into consideration. Also, remember not to do the sock slide on splintery wooden floors. Ouch. Better to go with the polished surfaces.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-111705660065048607?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

The URL still has the word blog in it and I originally spotted this in Kottke's remaindered links where it was titled <a href="http://www.kottke.org/remainder/05/05/8430.html">Nike iD asks 20 bloggers to make sneaker designs</a>. I drafted the post yesterday for posting later and now I'm all mixed up. Nevertheless, if you want to vote on sneakers, just do it. Which reminds me, I should have gone for a run today.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-111689318983997117?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[I just got this evite along with 278 other Bay Area bloggers. Not sure if it's a real deal or not—are there such things as party spammers yet? Get a whole bunch of folks to show up somewhere and then try to sell them some junk? Anyway, I've been to one or two sparsely attended blogger meetups but I have a feeling this one could be crowded. So if you're a Bay Area blogger and you're looking to meetup with other bloggers next month, here you go:<br /><blockquote>KRON4 television is hosting a meet-up of Bay Area bloggers at noon on Saturday, June 11, 2005. Snacks will be served and we'll have a little memento for attendees. There's no agenda other than helping facilitate this meet-up. We recognize the significance of the personal media revolution, and we want to listen to what you're saying. We think this is a good way to start.</blockquote>Maybe I can round up some <a href="http://www.blogger.com/">Blogger</a> folks and we'll crash that event. (If it's the real deal.)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2399953-111669636230798831?l=buzz.blogger.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>
