Huckleberries Online

Inside Huckleberries (3/16/05)

4:10 p.m. Dave Tolle has a legit beef. Some of you commenters are writing too long. In doing so, you're filling up the space allotted the new comments feature and crowding others out. As in letters to the editor, the shorter the better. I'll be hunting blogapatumases as well as blog trolls and moonbats to get things under control again ASAP. Be careful out there.

1:38 p.m. Looks like Huckleberries Online has attracted a coupla blog trolls. Yo, Richard Popeson or whoever you are, I like limericks. But I don't like limericks that call people names or use bathroom humor. You're welcome to comment as much as you like. But this type of nonsense will ultimately force me to require registration. I've zapped 5 of your limericks. You have a touch for the rhyme. But keep it between the lines.

1:29 p.m. I'm ba-a-a-ack. And I see you Munchkins have been busy. 30 comments already under the Question of the Day already. Nothing sez you like the new "comments" feature more than that. Give me about 30 minutes to put together Best of the Northwest.

9:29 a.m. JoAnne Stebbins and Phil Corless have turned in their home work assignment re: best blogs on the other side of the border. More. More. More.

9:26 a.m. The blog numbers continue to be staggering. Huckleberries Online opened the week with 3226 pageviews on Monday. (Weekend totals: 2490 & 1967, when I'm not actively blogging.) Shazam. Thanks.

7:43 a.m. Don't forget your assignment, boys and girls: I'd like to know which are the 3-5 best blogs from Eastern Washington. Don't put Bob Salsbury/Unbearable Bobness of Being on the list because he's an honorary North Idahoan. I'm going to start a Washington blog roll. So far, JoAnne Stebbins is the only one to turn in her homework.
