As a Blog Returns to its Vomit 
this demands a response!
I’m game…
but how did you work those cool blue clickable words in? I wanna be smooth and include a linkable word in my text too, d***it!
sometimes my ignorance embarasses me…
egana,
i just cut and pasted from wikipedia. the clickable links came along!
harumph!
when I click and paste, all i get are normal little words.. no fancy blues clickable words..
maybe it is Safari..
I really really really don’t want to write my own code. I have remained willifully ignorant until this point, but the need for blog coolness drives me to this ultimate sacrifice…. (looking noble and humbel at the same time) (oh, and very very cool…)
yikes… losing major blog coolness over several typos in one comment…
(hanging head in shame)
(weeping openly)
(can one weep openly and smile sarcastically at the same time?)
