The latest TOS for Google Adsense requires that sites have and follow a privacy policy.  (I don’t have ads on this blog, but I do have ads on a few of my pages, which I put there after I created an Adsense account for my Wise Bread posts.)

It’s hard to make a privacy policy interesting or amusing, but I did my best.

My brother has been paying close attention to Find the Lost Ring, because of the way Esperanto is figuring in the game.

At his urging, I took the quiz:

Since I started writing for Wise Bread (because each post I do there needs a picture), I’ve taken a greater interest in my own photography, and in the creative commons.

I’m taking my own photography more seriously, simply because it matters more. More people see my pictures–and a really good picture can bring traffic to a post.

I’m taking the creative commons more seriously, because it’s provided me with a number of cool pictures for posts where I didn’t have a picture of my own to use.

The posts after this are mostly old news–a side-effect of using a blogging tool as a site-management tool.  I think it’ll be fine going forward, but entailed creating a flurry of posts to get all the old stuff into the right categories.

If I’d known what a distraction it would turn out to be, I’d probably have left the old site up for a while longer.  I think there was only one day that I didn’t get anything done on the novel, but I there was nearly a week there when I was spending at least as much time on the website.

Still, it’s good to have a functional website again.

I’ve got a blog in Esperanto at the Esperanto-USA site:  pbrewer’s blog.

My new Esperanto-language homepage is just about ready.  It’ll be here:  Philip BREWER.

I’ve been writing a lot lately about personal finance and frugal living at Wise Bread.

I wrote an article about story structure that was published in Speculations (now sadly defunct).  The article was Story Structure in Short Stories.

While I was at Clarion, I wrote a little essay on Where you won’t get critiques, and how not to use them.
