Paul and gang, Normally because of our dial-up connection I avoid blogs and most web based type servers, so earlier this year when Neal first announced his blog I was a bit reluctant to checked it out. When I clicked his link, I was more than pleasantly pleased to see the blog pop up on my screen almost instantly and most pleased to see the screen was not bogged down with webpage based advertising that will grind a dial-up service to a crawl. I find the blog is easy to navigate, easy to read without the clutter found in most emails and 'to boot' the archives can be quickly searched.
I have also taken a minute to subscribe to the RSS feed provide by Neal on his blog. I have found the RSS feed has the advantage of a just sending out a quick introduction of the announcement with a convenient link to the entire blog article. Yesterday I took the step one bit further and posted a comment on Neal's blog. It was easy and surprisingly fast to do even with the pokey dial-up connection here, in fact it was faster to do then emailing this note. Hey, not saying Blogs are for everyone, but for sure, I am liking Neal's Blog very much!
