Where php will not tread…there’s Widgetbox

If you haven’t noticed, I’m using a little widgety device to include my blog on MySpace. The thing is called a blidget from Widgetbox (I’m not making this up), and it was braindead easy to set up. And it’s a powerful way to distribute content- it effectively creates an embeddable object from an RSS feed. And it makes it beautiful. User-friendly is usually synonymous with aggravating in my book, but this is truly the best of both worlds. And after wrestling with other dead-end ideas (thanks, MySpace) I couldn’t care less about one little link. Heck, here’s another: www.widgetbox.com. Check it out.

Eva D. Strukshin?

So Jill is a roller girl. Time to check that one off th’ list! :) She’s a rookie in the CTRG flat-track league. If you’ve talked to me since April, you know all about it, and if you haven’t, now you know why!
An amazing thing: think of a clever roller derby name, and it will magically appear on this database. Isn’t that a cool trick? Well, not really, after you and your friends have all contributed several excellent names. (Hannah Barbaric, c’mon!) However, a group effort yielded a perfect -and original- name for Jill. I won’t reveal it here until I get proper clearance from the lady in charge. But rest assured, it’s a good fit.So be sure to check out the International Rollergirls’ Master Roster. And who’s it managed by, you ask? Page Burner.
