A Dragon in Sheep's Clothing» del.icio.us http://www.dragonsheep.com Thoughts from a web designer, writer and cat lover.

Ear buds that look like bees. I’d love ‘em if I wore ear buds! Of course, you run the danger of someone smacking you upside the head if they think the bee is real.

You may have noticed that the last two posts were long and about a week apart. For no reason that I can find, del.icio.us seems to have changed to a weekly posting instead of daily. When I checked the settings on my account, I discovered that I can no longer set the time of day I want to postings to occur.

I also discovered the ability to post my most recent links dynamically in the right sidebar, so that is the format I will now use. It contains the 5 most recent links in my list.

I’m a little frustrated by the trouble with the blog posting feature, particularly seeing that, even after all this time, del.icio.us still calls it “experimental.”
