So I've changed the way I do linkblogging. Instead of FeedBurner inserting blocks into the feed, I'm now using Google's Shared Stuff for linkblogging.

If you're reading my main feed, viola, you'll be getting the linkblogging to, thanks to Drupal's Leech module pulling things in.

If you just want the linkblog, you can grab it from http://feeds.zhasper.com/zlinkblog.

Along the way, I created some feedflare - you'll see a "Share this!" item on each item in the feed - and each item in my main feed too, for that matter. This will take you straight to the Shared Stuff widget that lets you share the item yourself.

Yes, I just created a FeedBurner feedflare that lets you add feeds to Shared Stuff. I'm a company shill, what did you expect?

If you want the feedflare for yourself, it's at http://zhasper.com/sharethis.xml.

Note for the reader team: shared items in gReader need to go into Shared Stuff.
Note for Shared Stuff team: I want people who know my gmail address to be able to find my Shared Stuff easily. At the moment, the only way they can find it is if I tell them where it is.

[Update 24/09/2007 18:39]Urgh, that was ugly. I've removed the linkbloggy thing from the main site; if you want to see it, sign up to the linkblog feed seperately.

My apologies to anyone who reads my comments feed. There's been a lot of spam comments lately, and an some of it has bypassed the spam filters and shown up in the comments feed.

I've just made a few changes that should improve the efficiency if the blocking. If this doesn't work, I may have to go back to moderating all comments by non-logged-in users :(

I've not had a spam comment that I needed to filter in days.

What's happening? I'm getting bored here!

I finally got off my posterior, laid flat on my bed, and created an hackergotchi.

Woo!

Anyone who wants to improve on my paltry efforts and show me what a real pro can do, feel free :) The source material is attached...

On a whim, I decided to see if any common-misspelling type sites for this domain are registered.

Sure enough, zasper.com exists. It's not a spammy type site though - it seems to be someones portfolio.

I think I'd rather it was spam - I'd find that kinda flattering. Still, the pictures on the site like kinda pretty...

Google for zasper is a bit interesting too...
