I’ve been away from the keyboard since the 2nd Homeschool Country Fair was opened. I haven’t had a chance to read the posts yet. Given the hour, I won’t be doing that tonight.
The last few weeks have been subject to a number of changes in plans. The next 2 weeks will continue that tradition. I was planning on being away again most of this week. Last week, I arranged to convert to trips into one. Instead of leaving here on Wednesday as I did last week, I’ll be away from the keyboard all of next week. One of the advantages is that I will be able to stay home until Tuesday morning (Monday is a holiday in Canada) since home is about the same distance from Saint John and as my office.
This week I’m going to be working at getting the apartment set up. I am also going to be working on a solution to the problem of preventing spam blogs at homeschool journal. Andrea and I had time to sort out what we wanted to do to deal with that situation. As an interim solution, I am going to re-enable sign-ups by invitation only (i.e. an existing hsj user has to send an invite to the email address that is going to be used as the owner of the new blog).
TBH, I’m going to do my best to get some writing done here. I have a lot of things on draft in the back of my head. But, depending on how my week goes I may not get to anymore than 1 or 2. Also, there were more than 300 entries when I opened my bloglines tonight. I managed to read about 1/3 of the entries. It is probably going to take a couple nights for me to catch up.
I think you should just leave it invite only. Look at what that strategy did for Gmail in the early days! I had strangers emailing me and begging for an invite.
