• I'm trying an experiment with the "Unblogged Bits" Google Reader Shared yadda-yadda that I've been displaying in the sidebar. I really like the convenience (esp. at the office) of being able to just click on something in Google Reader and have it show up in the sidebar. But despite having set up an RSS feed for these items, I suspect that most of my readers never see them -- either because they fade into the sidebar, or else don't show up in the main feed from my site -- or get a chance to comment on them. Which is a shame.
• So I'm experimenting with ways to easily get from the "Unblogged Bits" into real posts that folks can comment on, etc. Today's attempt: cut and paste from the sidebar.

  Finally -- all sorts of brouhaha over a gay marriage in the Church of England. Except it wasn't a marriage, it wasn't something that hasn't happened before, and the folks who are kvetching loudest about it seem to have something else on their agenda.
