X-POST: Styling the LibraryThing Blog Widget

On my personal blog, I have posted about styling the LibraryThing blog widget. The LibraryThing application doesn't have anything to do with blogging, but it's something I would have included in Topic 43, "Implementing Affiliation Links, Personal Lists, or Ads" in Chapter 7, "Additional Blogging Tools," such as in step 3 where I talk about "including personal listes of books and more."

X-POST: Firefox Extension: Blogger Web Comments

On my personal blog, I have posted about the Blogger Web Comments extension for Firefox. This probably would have been a topic in Chapter 7, "Additional Blogging Tools," because like BlogThis! (Topic 47) one of the bits of functionality provided by this extension is a BlogThis!-like posting interface.

X-POST: FeedBurner's FeedFlare service

On my personal blog, I have posted about FeedBurner's FeedFlare service. This additional service is relevant to Topic 49, "Providing an External RSS Feed," in Chapter 8, "RSS, Indices, and Folksonomies."

X-POST: Firefox Extension: Google AdSense Preview Tool

On my personal blog, I have posted about the Google AdSense Preview Tool extension for Firefox. This is a useful extension for bloggers who have Google AdSense ads in their blog template, or are thinking about doing so.

the book IS available

Sams Teach Yourself Blogging in a Snap is available now, so say the various bookseller web sites, plus I walked past a copy in a brick-and-mortar bookstore, plus I got a box of ten the other day.

This is a pretty jam-packed week, so if I get a chance to make updates here, it'll be near the end. But I wouldn't really count on anything until the 14th. The academic semester is wrapping up and that's always a busy time. At that time I'll go through the actual pages and check for errata (and add topics for things Blogger added/modified since the book went to print, like Blogger Backlinks, Comment Modification, etc.)
