• Avatar/Gravatar

Q. What’s an Avatar/Gravatar and how do I get one?
A. An avatar is an image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on avatar enabled sites like this one! Specifically a Gravatar is an abbreviation for Globally Recognized Avatar.

To get one of your own, go to gravatar.com

The fastest and most painless sign up I’ve ever encountered. Why can’t they all be this easy?

• News Feeds

Q. Atom, Feed, RSS, what’s it all about Alfie?
A. Probably the two best guides for this are the BBC and Wikipedia.

• Contacting This Site

Q. Is there anybody in there?
A. If you’ve sent mail and heard nothing back, don’t be overly concerned. This is entirely natural and to be expected as part of the Whole Sort of General Mish Mash of things. This site is a part-time affair. It is run by one person. He’s a little scatty too – but sincere, and usually gets there in the end. He’s also taken to conversing in this strange third person singular narrative for some ungodly reason! What was the question again? Next?

• Supporting This Site

Q. Is there any way I can help to relieve the untold stress and toil you so clearly and selflessly place upon yourself in bringing to us this – what will surely become in the gathering months, if not so, then future years, I’ve no doubt on that score – this, titanic tome of textual completism beyond compare?
A. Hmm, good question, good question. A little dramatic perhaps, but I like where this is going generally. Are you female at all?
