Huckleberries Online

Inside Huckleberries (5/2/05)

5:33 p.m. Dunno if you guys noticed, but the SR has just added a "comments" feature to the "Ask the Editors" blog. My handlers must have answered in the affirmative when they asked themselves: "Do you feel lucky?" Anyway, check it out, and you know what to do if you see something that interests you here.
...
2:35 p.m. Final number for April HBO pageviews: 106,332 (which beat the record set in March by almost 18,000), for a daily average of 3544. A year ago, the April total was 15,280 pageviews for a daily average of 509. Thanks for helping make this blog successful.
...
2:11 p.m. I've just learned the IDs to two new HBO commenters (from an outside source, so I won't name them here). And I continue to be amazed -- and honored -- by the quality of people who comment here. And there's always room for more.
...
11:08 a.m. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Huckleberries Online has made the blogroll of blogs Woe, Canada and Iowa Voice.
...
11:03 a.m. BTW, I was watching you from my brother-in-law's home in the Portland area Thursday through Saturday. We made a quick run over there to pick up Amy from UPortland, where she finished her first year as a communications major. And now is looking for summer work to fill the hours till school starts again.
...
10:59 a.m. 'Tis good to be back. 'Twas good to vacate. For everything, there was a season. I was pleasantly surprised to see my blog numbers ran from 1624 (Saturday) to 4516 (Friday) while I was gone. Is there a message there? The blog is more interesting when I'm on vacation? Gulp.
