Changed my mind: I won’t ask to have my blog rated at HotOrNot, since I’m unwilling to give a numeric rating to those I see there. How do you quantify a subjective impression? But I’ll keep it bookmarked, for days when I’m desperate for a new blog to read! (2004 Oct 22: Yeah, like that’ll happen. I try halfheartedly to keep up with 46 blogs, and have 417 entries on a “get back to it eventually” list.)
