First of all, a quick apology. My posts this month have been about zilch as a result of work and parenting demands. There are some things I'd like to write, as always, and with any luck in the next week or so I'll get one or two things up.

Also, I've added a Twitter feed at upper right. I've been having a pretty good time with Twitter, but it is not to blame to falloff in posting.

Finally, I've heard from a couple of people who use BlackBerries to read Imagethief that the formatting means about a zillion scrolls to get to content. Now, my first blush reaction to this is to tell Research In Motion to use put a better browser in their units. But it was a prod to get me to take care of a couple of things that I've been considering anyway. 

First, I've taken the month-by-month archive out of the sidebar. After forty-eight months it was getting a bit long. It's still on the site, but it's got its own page (and there is still a link to it from the sidebar). 

Also, I've set up a separate page for the blogroll. At this point, I'm only putting only a short list of my absolute favorite China blogs in the sidebar. Everything else is on the dedicated blogroll page, where I've been able to add a bit of annotation. By way of trade-off, I'll probably add links to the blogroll categories from the sidebar, and also elevate one or two other category blogs that I like into my absolute favorites. I've not had time to do this yet, so stick with me.

If you feel your blog was relegated, I do apologize. The link is still there, and as always, I like everything in the blogroll. But the real-estate demands were getting ludicrous. Feel free to pop me a note and bitch if you feel hard-done-by.

Other comments on the changes are welcome. Coming soon: More actual content. I hope.
