It soon will be time to get a new blogging tool.  I've gotten used to HTML markup, so the HTML editor is not much help.

I'm quite disappointed that the link tool doesn't have a title tag entry point...but I suppose that's primarily for images.   I'm not a big fan of teaser blog entries consisting primarily of a link, or connotations placed on words with a URL.  Explicit is better than implicit...

I greatly appreciate people who "ACK" my email. A one line "Thanks" is usually enough for me to not feel disregarded, or paranoid that my mail was tossed in the spam bucket, and wasting cycles wondering "I bet "Greetings" wasn't the best subject line..".

I wouldn't have mucked with Radio if Phil wasn't so courteous with email, or written Python-URL!'s if Cameron Laird didn't masterfully shoot single-liners (and URL's) back to my naive questions.  A succinct reply is the face-to-face equivilent to an American "nod", "uh-huh", or Japanese "HI!"  There are MANY exceptions to this rule. But not usually on first encounters.

I'm not alone on these thoughts.

PaulT has a less than wonderful, but important, comment on the lack of a killer app in Zope, including some good suggestions.  Glad to see a "Blog" is on that list.  Perhaps if ZopeZen were more multi-blog aware like PyCS, and a bit more 1.0.  (Do you really want another Squishdot comment? It was a killer app when blogs were gaining mass momentum, hasn't caught up, but still does it's job, like my `89 Mazda. Proof? Paul's site, AllOSX, KDE.News)

Zope and Blogs...hmmm....hmmm??...

PaulT also has an appreciated take on an XML hiring quiz.  There's a need for folks riding the fence between skeptical and cynical.  Micheal Swaine keeps Apple on their toes this way. :-)
