Notoriously Negligent
scrappybadger June 28th, 2007
I’ve been in my badger hole playing with blog plugins and Wordpress widgets for the last few days. I wanted to add some content to my sidebar, and I had to have a plugin to display a list of books I’m reading. I’ve been eyeing those currently reading plugins with much jealousy on other blogs for months. It took me a while to get things the way I wanted them because I tweak and tweak and tweak, and I’m still not sure that the sidebar will stay the way it looks right now.
I went through several plugins for creating a currently reading list before I found one that I like. Lots of them were either overly complicated implementations of a fairly simple concept or just not customizable enough. I finally settled on Rob Miller’s Now Reading which I recommend to other Wordpressers out there. It allows you to build an entire library database that keeps track of what you’ve read, how much you’ve read, and reviews associated with each book. Any bookivore is sure to find it quite delicious.
I’m a very slow reader, so my library is likely to take a long time to build, but I can’t wait to start adding to my future reading list! So, so many books and so little time.
All of this blog play has made me very neglectful of recent (and my first few!) commenters. I beg for forgiveness and blame it on my badgerness. Most badgers are, in fact, loners who eschew all companionship until mating season. I’m not quite that bad, but I am sometimes ostrich-like in the way that I deal with the world. Thanks, then, radfemlezzie for sharing your story of dickheadedness with me. It just goes to show that women all over the place are with men that don’t appreciate their intelligent and useful contributions to the world. I mean, it isn’t like we didn’t know that already, but it confirms it for about the 8 trillionth time. And big thanks to spotted elephant for reminding me that lots of other women feel the same way that I do. It is so easy to feel like the only one, ya know? And no thanks at all for getting me sucked into a long trail of bunny-web via your Bunny Blogging. Now I have to keep visiting The Brooklyn Bunny Cam. I’m so easily sucked into the internet.
All of this is to say thanks, y’all, for reading.
