Please Explain to an Old Broad...
...what blogrolls, tags, del.ici.ous and XML are all about? What about RSS feeds or news feeds and how they differ from the web and news clips I have on my Google Toolbar? Are there feeds which will point me directly to new comments on the posts I've visited or commented on? How do you guys keep this all so well sorted out? Is it worth it to get the html for a blogroll over my little, hand-made list? What is the dvantage of having an outside comment thing, like Haloscan?
Any advice on any or all of the above would be greatly appreciated. Any critiques about what you like and why would be doubly appreciated. Remuneration to be negotiated. Be warned, I was one of the significant forces in our local's first contract negotiation in 2000-2001. Always arguing about the language! The language! Ahhh, the ambiguity! Me: "That ambiguity is going to get us, Bill." Bill: "We want it to be ambiguous!" Argh!
By the way, I don't happen to consider addressing myself as "an old broad" a pejorative. I'm learning to embrace my style, now that I've firmly reached middle-age. Seems to me that style necessarily includes cantankerousness, levity, wit...sometimes a tad biting, an artistic lean, a developing sense of fashion (though I will probably always forgo make-up of any sort except for special occasions...or if I start to think it might help me meet women! ; ), mischievousness, risk-taking, spontaneity and deeply-felt passions with the ultimate goal being full-fledged, Shirley MacClaine in Steel Magnolias cronedom?, cronehood?...funny straw hats and tomatoes and all. Or maybe I'd rather be Helena Bonham-Carter in Big Fish (a great flick, if you haven't seen it). Any or all of these are just fine with me!
Crones of the world, unite! Lol!

Hun, next time Chris comes to visit me, the one who helped me set up the separate boxes on my blog, I'll ask him for his help. Or better still if you email me at my home account with exactly what you want to know, I'll send on your queries. Does that help? I've seen loads of stuff like that and wouldn't know where to begin! Missing you in real time babe :-)

I'm working on it. I think I just need to see what's on different sites and figure out what I want. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Now I know how my dad felt when VCR's came out!
