a few things
So I got distracted yesterday by things… (via pica-n-pixel) This is also worth a look. http://portfolio.streetnine.com/amnh/ Autoviewer is an attractive way to present a series of photographs for the web using flash.

So I figured out how to get it working for commenting here. I used the WordPress OpenID Plugin+ and the newest version worked almost smoothly. I had to add one table [...]

linking bookmarks to searches – automated tagging
Simple idea: You usually get to a site you wish to bookmark via direct search. You can use those search terms as a starting set of tags for the bookmark.
