Along with working extended hours (and being too bloody lazy; I’m really sorry guys), one this is one of the reasons that I’ve been posting less. I know it isn’t and excuse, but that’s the best I’ve got.
I was over on Mozilla’s site looking for an extension (no, I can’t remember what it was) but I stumbled onto the coComment extension. I don’t know why I haven’t seen this advertised by more bloggers. Since I’ve found it I don’t know how I’ve gotten on without it.
What Is coComment?
One thing that we’ve been taught as bloggers is that we need to actively engage in comments on your blog and on other blogs. Well it’s simple enough to do this on your own blog, because you know when you receive a comment. However, there’s a slight problem trying to do this on other people’s blog? Subscribe to Comments 2.1 has made this a little bit easier. But not all bloggers have this plugin installed. If they don’t, then you have a few problems.
With coComment you can subscribe to any comments from anybody’s blog. Then you can go to your coComment homepage and there are all your comments right there. If there’s a new comment, that thread will become bold.

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. Here’s a (short) list of a number of Personal Finance blogs that I read:

As usual, LifeHacker has opened my eyes. I stumbled up the following at LifeHacker. so it got me thinking of what I do.
Introduction
First off I must admit something. I’m from the Commonwealth of Dominica. It’s a beautiful island in the Caribbean and we have a river for everyday of the week. No, seriously, there are 365 rivers. Water isn’t usually a problem for most. Apart from a few months when it’s hot and some new, rapidly developing residential areas (where the irrigation system hasn’t grown with the population) water isn’t a problem back home. At our house, water isn’t regulated. You pay a flat monthly fee and that’s it. Some years ago, they started putting meters on newer houses so that they are charged per usage. Also, when I came up here, the apartment complex that I lived in for almost four (4) years had water included in the rent and that was a fixed price. So I’ve never really gotten used to the whole saving water thing.

As I always do in the morning, I looked at the weather report. The weatherman said that there’s only going to be some slight scattered showers, maybe. It was supposed to be 95 degrees, feeling like 105. So I got ready for an extremely hot day.
Fast forward to 5:00PM. I step out of the office into a dark, gloomy afternoon. The sky was dark and there was lighting all over the place. So I figured it’s not that bad, at least it’s not hot. After about 5 minutes it could hardly see where I was going. The rain was falling sidewards, it was ridiculous. After a short while, I was reduced to doing 20 MPH in a 40. You just couldn’t go any faster because the roads were flowing with water. Some lanes were reduced to “Trucks and SUVs only”, not officially but because the laws of physics dictated.
I think the weatherman owes me a written apology.
