Springtime and Hidden Updates
Well, springtime in Chicago has finally, well, sprung! 71 degrees today, windy as hell though. If you believe the 10 day forecast, and I don’t, the lowest temp for the next week and a half is 52 degrees. Some lovely spring showers, too, of course. It’s about time we had a little bit of baseball weather to go along with the start of the season.
Enough about the weather, before I bore myself to sleep. I found this amazing little gadget to use with my blog here, called Zemanta. Zemanta is a firefox plugin (IE plugin coming soon) that attaches itself to your blog when you write a new post/article. It helps by suggesting related images, articles, links and tags to liven up your articles with relevant items for your readers. A very nice touch as it sits unobtrusively to the right of your writing area you will see relating images and articles. Below your writing area is the suggested links and tags. All of it, updating itself every 300 characters, or sooner if you wish. I think I’m going to be using this a lot as I try to get back into blogging more regularly. Well, since I’ve completely veered off course from springtime, I figure I’ll toss in a few of the suggested additions from Zemanta while I’m at it.

Thanks for a review David. Note that you can also use Zemanta just as a brainstorming tool, and open suggested articles in new tabs and base your writing on that or maybe one of the suggested pictures. Some users have reported that they found some amazing stories just by looking at suggestions.
