Must-See Blog.

My dear friend Paula has totally revamped and redesigned her site, The Perils of Leisure. You must check it out, bookmark it, and email her notes of adoration since she really worked quite hard and, of course, she's moved to Movable Type.

It's been exciting to see some of my favorite blogs move to MT. And, it's even more exciting when you don't have to beg them to convert. Though that's not really true -- I have some dignity when it comes to pimping MT.

Some recent redesigns or re-imagineering (I love that Disney-coined phrase) of blogs that I read: phonezilla, Openwire (who is a certifiable MT addict), Metagrrrl, frykitty, scottandrew.com, Fireland (who has the best "powered-by" button ever), and possibly gavinfriday.com, which would be the coolest thing ever since I'm a big Gavin Friday fan and was stunned to realize that this Von B was the same Von B (no pressure, though).

I'm sure of missing some people, but just remember, as Judy Garland would say "I love you all!"

Yes, I read this book on my trip.

This is probably the most name-dropping you'll ever get out of me -- cherish it and blame it on the weather.

I blame it on the rain, yeah, yeah. Thanks, Mena. :)

Why is it that I read Paula, I love Paula, and I never remember to link Paula? WHAT THE HECK IS THE MATTER WITH ME???

Well, that's fixed.

Only the front page changed at gavinfriday.com - to announce Gav's gig next week. :-)

Caroline -- Yeah, I probably shouldn't have grouped gavinfriday.com with that list -- but I couldn't resist. The prospect of a switch to MT was good enough for me. :)

Looks fucking fantastic, but of course now that we've both linked to her, she hasn't posted since launch! Damnit! Get on the stick, Paula!
