Now posting links daily (maybe) | TrainBlog, on April 29, 2007 @ 6:53 am
[…] Since I often don’t have time to do a full blog post, I’ve decided to start posting small news items of interest and links to new/interesting sites through del.icio.us, using their daily blog posting feature. I will attempt to add meaningful notes to those links … So you will now see posts like this one appear in your feeds. Please let me know (through del.icio.us or email: mmarchon at trainblog.com) if you have any links/news items that may be of interest to TrainBlog readers. Thanks. […]
