worst blogger ever

So much has happened in the past month, it's hard to want to sum it all up. I've been really sad/upset/confused/angry lately that it make me not want to write about it and just keep it all inside.

So, a basic summary. My dog was put to sleep, I went to Six Flags and Chicago, I joined the ranks of the dating crowd, I saw dragsters and funny cars, I set foot in a lake for the first time in 20 years, camped, decided to move into a house in Anoka...

And that's not even including the filler. Hopefully I'll get an opportunity to sit down and write some more, and do it on a regular basis. I'm setting goals, and doing whatever I can to achieve them.

This is going to be good.

Tagging

Tagging is exhausting. Especially tagging after the fact. Del.icio.us bookmarks and Blogger posts.

Delicious at least makes an effort to know what you want to tag stuff with, and then makes it easy to implement that tag by simply clicking it. Whoops! Don't want that tag? Click it again, and it disappears from the entry box. Brilliant.

Blogger, however, makes an effort by showing "autocomplete tags" as you type, but for some reason, when I wanted the word "me" as a tag, since I already had "meat" as a tag, it wouldn't settle for anything less. Now, I realize that I am meat, but that's taking it a little too far. I had to add extra letters and commas and manipulate the cursor and backspace a little. Got it to work, but not without effort, and blogging should be effortless.

One last point. Blogger, get rid of the comma separation and just leave the separation to the spacebar. Having to type that comma in after every tag is tiresome, especially after tagging 20 posts. If I want to group words as a tag, I'll put them in quotes. Ugh!
