Site update.
Topic: Misc.
I've belatedly discovered how to make some changes to the appearance and content of this site. I think they will make it more interesting and accessible. I hope you do too. Bear with me while I continue to experiment.

Firstly, I've discovered how to give links to some of my favourite sites. You can see them in the column on the left hand side of the screen. They are grouped into categories, with poker bloggers at the top. One of the political sites is the first blog I ever found, the one by Bjorn Staerk. His is the Norwegian site that I mentioned in a recent posting. His writing is outstanding, even though English isn't his first language and he still makes a few mistakes in it. Be sure to have a look at some of the Iraqi bloggers like 'Iraq the Model' and 'Hammorabi'. The latter's English isn't great, but he expresses with great passion a point of view that you rarely hear from our newspaper reporters, who mainly visit those parts of the country that aren't optimistic about the future.

Secondly, I'm going to categorise my posts by topics in future. You can see the topic listings on the bottom of the right hand column. I haven't gone far with going through the archives, so it won't bring up much now, but when I've finished you will be able to bring up a page showing just those posts that relate to religion, poker, politics or whatever.

Thanks to those of you who've made some interesting comments to things I've written. Let's get some good debates going on here. I intend to write less on the poker discussion forums from now on, so that they can be used more for what the readers really want, i.e. 'Is online poker rigged?', 'Rate these players!' and 'Should I play rebuys comps as a freezeout?'.

If anyone wants to know how to set up a blog, I can happily show you how to use Tripod. I'm happy with the free service, but I seem to be the only person I know not using Blogger for some reason. If you've got something to tell the world, blog it! Bye for now.
