Things That Make You Go Hmmm
Jeremy has a post about one of the things that "makes him go hmm'" about blogland. I've got my own "thing that makes me go hmm" about blogland: guest posting. Guest posting appears to be the rather odd concept of having other people post entries in your blog. I'm awfully confused by this. I mean
