Don’t Be Such a Big Shot–Share!

I’ve added a new capability to the Scratchbomb site. Viz, little icons at the bottom of each post that will allow you to share any post you like on the social networking site of your choice. As long as your choice includes the 9 options I’ve chosen to feature.

I heartily encourage you to share/submit posts on this site elsewhere. I would submit them myself, but submitting posts from your own web site to Facebook, Fark, etc. seems like the height of lameness to me. Like nominating yourself for prom king, which I TOTALLY DID NOT DO.

So anyway, use these buttons, please. K THX!

P.S.: I’ve also made it so that each post’s tags and categories appear in the main index, because I didn’t necessarily want to make you click through to see all of my hilarious tomfoolery. Yes, you’re welcome.

All A-Twitter

You may notice, eagle-eyed reader, that I’ve added a Twitter widget to Yon Navigation Column to the right. Twitter is a lot like Facebook or MySpace, minus everything but the updates. Really, it’s writing for people who hate words.

So why did I join up? Because a lot of practitioners of The Funny that I enjoy are already Twittering, and this is a convenient and still-legal way to stalk them. Also, I’m looking for any way to drive traffic to this here site that doesn’t involve plastering the page with ugly, spambot-driven ads.

By the by, if you have any ideas about I can increase Scratchbomb’s online profile–that don’t involve blinking banner ads with dancing silhouettes–I’m all ears.

In Case You’re Interested…

…and I know you are, I’ve added all 2006 entries to the new site. So delve into the past, if you are so inclined. I’ll be moving on to 2007 next and sending periodic updates of the progress therein.

Truth be told, there was one post from 2006 that I didn’t add, which pertained to the old Scratchbomb podcast, Holy Goddamn! That’s because I hope to revive the podcast some time in the near future, and didn’t want to confuse the issue by having an old post pointing to a weird mp3 that doesn’t exist.

When shall that podcast be up and running again? I hope to have one ready within the next few weeks. I’ve laid the groundwork for doing it tech- and site-wise, now I just have to think of some ideas and carve out the time to do it.
