The polling site isn't cooperating this morning. Hopefully I'll have the caption contest poll up in a few hours. Until then, allow me to regale you with some updates regarding what's going on with this blog (in addition to its newfound purpose of getting classic rock stations to play Huey Lewis).
I'm continuing to improve my commenting application. The more observant among you will have noticed that the horrendously difficult math problems are not showing up any more. They should only appear for first-time commenters now. Also, if you're a humor-blogs.com member, your banner will now show up next to your comment (if you put in your web site url). I'm hoping to eventually give non-humor-blogs members the ability to display an avatar as well. Sorry, Theresa, you still can't delete comments....
I've also created a widget on my sidebar that displays the last ten humor-blogs.com members who have visited this site. Once I've got the bugs worked out, I'll make the widget available on the humor-blogs.com site. I think it's a nice way to encourage a feeling of community among the humor-blogs members.
This weekend, while you are all recovering from tryptophan-induced comas, I will be putting the finishing touches on a massive overhaul of the humor-blogs.com site. I never expected the site to have 380+ members, and it's definitely creaking under the strain. I won't go into details now, but the new site will be WAY cooler in pretty much every way. Look for some big changes on Monday.
Finally, for those of you who have been thinking about buying my book but just can't justify forking over $11.95 plus shipping, I'm planning a Christmas sale starting next week. I'm still working out the details of how cheaply I can possibly sell it, but suffice it to say that you'll be able to get it at a huge discount. As I've said before, I don't care about making money on this book; I just want to get it out there for people to read. So start thinking about people on your Christmas list who might enjoy a good read, and look for details early next week.
Oh, and come back later today for the poll....
