Scratchbomb: Now With Even More Self-Promotion!

Just wanted to alert the masses to a new commenting feature. If you come up with a brilliant bon mot, and you want other people to know about, you can post said comment to Twitter.

In order to enable this fantastic feature, you’ll have to do some quick set-up work in your Disqus account to align it with your Twitter account, but it only takes a few seconds to do that. Then tick the little “Tweet This Comment” box underneath the text field, and voila! Witness the magic.

Why would you want to do this? I haven’t the slightest idea. But there it is.

Next, I’m working on a commenting feature that will toast bread as you type. Stay tuned!.

3-2-1 Contact!

Earlier today, one of my loyal readers pointed out that there was no obvious way to contact yours truly via this site. That’s what you call a “glaring oversight”, or “enormous fuck-up” if you’re feeling salty.

So at absolutely no expense to myself, I now have a site-based email where you can reach me: scratchbomb@scratchbomb.com. (Clever!) I’ve also added a handy dandy link to said email address over in the navigation column to your right, which should allow you to email me in the blinking of an eye. But don’t blink too much when writing your email. It may lead to embarrassing misspellings.

Carry on.

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.
