FYI
It’s your own material yet you excerpt it and try to send folks elsewhere?
Why is that?
1. Most are not that interested in the nit-picking details that I write on. For those that are interested - this provides a head-up. Judging by the less than 1,000 unique visitors - most do not care.
2. I’ve had many a hickup at FR when trying to republish in the past - the coding is not the same as at my site. It’s a pain to do more than an excerpt.
3. Since there is no money involved at my site [no adverts] except what I pay comcast for my cable connection - it’s no big deal. I track this for my own curiosity. Started it years ago.
What’s your issue? I’ve been providing this heads-up since I was writing at 4th Rail/LWJ - years now...
