I needed it. My blogging soul has been drained recently by online work (which, for the record, no one forced me to take) that was all about The Traffic. I'm going back to my roots, to write what I want, when I want, for a bunch of readers to whom I don't want to sell a single thing... Thanks for sharing this piece of pie with me today Pam.

Here's a horribly pretentious remark: a William Morris quote. “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” I think this is a good rule of thumb for blogging, one I do not always succeed at getting to, but hope for. “And in defense of the Su.pr toolbar, yes, it’s slow and obnoxious, but it really does make a difference…”

It opens me up to a whole new traffic segment that would hardly see it otherwise. On the other hand, I can't stand scanning through my Twitter feed and seeing nothing but Triberr auto tweets. It feels like nobody RT's something because they like it any more! And in defense of the Su.pr toolbar, yes, it's slow and obnoxious, but it really does make a difference...
