Hot Potatoes Log

6 p.m. May have solved Eagle Eye's problem because I noticed he posted this evening. Seems there must have been a space between the far left corner of the "name" element and his name. The name has to begin against the margin or the software won't read it. Welcome aboard, Eagle Eye.

5:38 p.m. BTW, I'm constantly moving the "Hot Potatoes Log" up in the column, so you can see my latest scribblings. Make sure you also check below it for new postings.

5:35 p.m. There's some good comments under Phil Corless' item about worst/best meals of aught-4 here. (Still time to join the fun.) All you have to do to read the comments beneath an item is to click on "comments." Also, you can post a comment to an individual item by clicking on "comment" and following the simple instruction. You don't have to fill in the e-mail address or URL to post ... so have fun.

4:45 p.m. Gotta note from Eagle Eye, saying he's having trouble using the comment feature on the blog. Seems he fills in the "Name" portion and writes his comment, but then receives a popup that sez "message left blank." Anyone else out there experiencing this problem? The comment section has been light since I returned from vacation. Mebbe this is the reason?

2:41 p.m. Was googling for Lady Lola and found a Golf Digest article that mentions yachts owned by Tiger Woods, billionaire Wayne Huizenga and others. At the end of it, you'll find a few paragraphs describing the world's only floating golf course, owned by Local Boy Made Good and Rubs Our Faces In It, here.

12:30 p.m. Can't figure out what's happening at the Memphis Commercial Appeal, where Editor Chris Peck (pictured) and a handful of former S-R associates are running things. Chris and Scott Sines, my old ME, say everything's fine. But they've gone through layoffs and morale problems in the newsroom. The Memphis Flyer (Memphis' equivalent to The Inlander) took another swipe at the Commercial Appeal here.

12:15 p.m. I achieved one of my New Year's resolution by adding (via Blogmeister Ken Sands) a dozen or so North Idaho blog links to my Hot Potatoes blog. These guys produce good stuff. You go directly to their blogs by clicking on the links on the left side of my page.
