Getting by with(out) a little help from my friends
October 1, 2008
I have posted on a number of things, even offering a veiled criticism of overly zealous political bloggers. I accused Rodney Trotter of writing Blondie lyrics. I outed Sean as a fan of country music. Nay, I have spoken widely and deeply on profound issues. Yet, yet, the only email I ever received on a blogpost was about how to remove the heading that plagues (most) of my posts.
Here's what the concerned soul told me: "it is hidden html text from something you probably copied into the blog post. What you have to do is click on the html tab in the section you post, and delete the mess."
First, how does (s)he know that I've copied the posts? Do not rest easy people. You are being watched. Second, what does this mean? About the only word I understand here is "mess." Third, I had come to grips with my complaint. I embraced the heading with all of its Microsoft nonsense as a necessary consequence in a fallen universe. No, technocrats, I'm not ashamed of my inability to post an entry free of "hidden html text." I embrace it.
