OT: Feedburner

(Me? I found my way there via Kevin Williamson's blog, and I can't remember at all why I found that one in the first place).

Interesting but a bit tiring to read with all those tiny sentences. It looks like you're trying to make it easy for people with limited English and overdoing it.

I have read your blog. I have it bookmarked in my favorites. I like it! Don't know how you keep track of visitors.

In my training days, a feedburner was a racehorse who was laid up for some reason and not racing, or racing poorly. The other horses in the barn were carrying him, thus he was a feed/hay burner. ;))

G> Hi, I have a question for those of you who blog. Do you have

Jack, Thank you! I now have an official counter on my blog. Woo hoo.

Sorry about the little sentences. I like them. Learned to write that way in J-school. Reporters write like this. Mostly short sentences. It's not aimed at non-readers. Rather, we like punch in our work. Worked for Jack London. And for Papa Hemingway. Ah well.

For the other readers, those so enanmoured with the romantic ideals of the written word that they long for outdated constructions, for the complicated construction that would need to be parsed on a barn side, those dear readers must be content with the chat that falls from modern writing; dust will come to us all, but to the true reader, the one who hangs on every word and begs for more, that reader will live a bit longer than the rest of us.

Or maybe it'll just feel that way.

hehe.....keep it coming Jack.

Ginger, can't wait to see you Saturday!

Hi Sunny, I didn't think your sentences were too short, it's just one of many possible writing styles. If I'm understanding things correctly, your style conveys your feels very well.
