After seeing how the previous Shareaholic plug-in worked here at FF&W, I decided to switch over to Share This. The new plug-in seems to work better for me (in terms of how it presents in Twitter), and takes up less visual space in the post. In addition, it is more obvious as a “share/tweet” service [...]

May adjust how/where it appears, etc., and see if it turns out to be permanently useful for FF&W or not. Any feedback from Facebook/Twitter [...]
Going to WSU – Vancouver next week to see the full collection of Eileen Klatt’s salmon/trout art (and hopefully make that lecture on the evening of the 7th). Perhaps I’ll see a few FF&W readers there?
