a bit of blog befuddlement



Many thanks to everyone who left a comment about commenting.

I've been wandering around backstage in my own blog, trying to find the source of the problem. I've learned a couple of things, but nothing related to the issue.

About the ads that have recently been showing up on the Feedly page, here is an example using my own blog post list. I hope the screenshot will be legible - as always, left-click to embiggen.

To be clear: I'm not seeing these ads on the actual blogs - just prominently displayed on the Feedly list of posts for each blog.

One of these things is not like the others...

 



Here's another example.
Ads disguised as blog posts:




Well, that's enough about the mysteries of the internet for one day.

Onward to something I understand: today's Daily Markmaking.

surrounded by stones and snow.


I hope your week is off to a grand start!
