Hi folks. I’ve been out and about this morning. It is a really beautiful day here in Philadelphia. Now, I have to read all my email and see what happened on the Sunday Morning Pantomime Shows.

Did Andy Card’s head explode?

that Air America is still linking to my web site because I am getting a lot of eyeballs from it.

But they need a new webmaster. First of all, they misspelled the title of my diary. Secondly, they linked to the home page, so everyone who clicks on the link is not being led to the story, which scrolled off the front-page two days ago.

Air America needs help. Send your resumes.

  Cool… congrats on the link. I don’t know how long it’s been up there, but if you are still getting eyeballs, you might consider putting a tiny “sticky” post at the top of the page… something like “Looking for the <Title of Post> story? Click here, then come back and read the rest of the site” or something like that.

    That’s a good idea. However, it’s more of a pain in the ass because the block system I have.
    
    I’d rather their webmaster fixed the title and the link.
    
    But the traffic from that link is trickling down anyway.
