I've finally made some progress with my syndicNation site;

1. imported most of my blogSpot webLogs into one.
2. edited "Minima Lefty Stretch" by Douglas Bowman & Darren Delaye (www.stopdesign.com) to take out transform:upperCase and tweak presentation.
3. took out archiveList and put in tagLinkIndex which displays posts according to tags
   
4. added N'iTwitt, my twitter output widget
5. added myDiigo tagLink Cloud
6. added Quintura siteSearch Cloud
7. added feedJIT widget to analyze mySiteTraffic
8. added dogPile webSearchEngine
   
9. set to display 3 posts, just because it evens sideBar and postSection ...usually

toDo;

1. get rid of whiteSpace between Quintura & firstPost
2. get Quintura to finish indexing & see if fireRescue1 keyWords receed
3. replace the twitter widget with on that lets me tweet from this site
4. incorporate the other blogs...
5. add a quickPost link
6. add a myPictures widget
7. add linkList of other sites&Services

myBlogs

I'm finally consolidating my blogSpot webLogs into one openIDeas blog. There's too many to manage effectively (i.e. remove spamPosts) or keep current. Some topics of interest are suffering from neglect and have been posted on one blog when they would be better represented in others.

This means that posts I'm pulling in here are going to have broken tagLinks if they point to any of those blogs. It's my intent though to leave the 'empty' blogs up for a while with tagLinks redirecting to here. I'm also tagLinking all the posts from them with the blog titles. My first blog, acronyms&Me will be tagged acronymsAndMe, since blogger won't allow the ampersand in tags. Ditto code&Scripts -> codeAndScripts. VFW-fireRescue will be fireRescue since I'm no longer a volunteer, but still interested. Staying the same will also be lomaLinda, myMilitary, reSearchSources, and wordZ.

tagLinks should be considered 'alpha', or pre-beta because it is barely past conceptual.

Arbitrarily reformatting folks text is a topic for another post. For instance, to use this great blog template I had to searchAndReplace text-transform="uppercase" with text-transform="none". And why do they feel the need to sort tags alphabetically. There could be information in tags' relationship to each other. i.e. subject-predicate-object Why all the paranoia about mixing data and code?
