that a friend known mostly through one part of the net turns out to have a weblog as well. Or vice-versa – to come across a person whose weblog you’ve been reading in an online community. Not that odd, really, but mildly surprising anyhow, in that a person’s online “voice” is a little bit different in each different context in which you see her/him.

I don’t think I’ve properly welcomed Ed back to the world of webloggers.

! Good luck Evan. Blogger has and has always had a lot to recommend it. In terms of the user experience, Blogger is still the best out there.
