Many of my friends and family who read my blog read it because of the fact that at least half the time, I remember to check the little box on my blog publishing window that cross-posts my blog entry to facebookland, where they can run across my blog entries in their facebook news feeds. This may not be happening much, moving forward, because the facebook cross-posting feature here at my typepad blog host seems to be perpetually broken. Personally, I suspect it's more likely the fault of facebook than the fault of typepad, but the end result is the same either way: not many of my blog posts will be appearing on facebook. Based on surveying some help tickets at typepad, no one seems able or interested in fixing this problem.
This is a reminder to my friends and family who happen to read my blog that you'll see me much more reliably if you come to my blog directly. It's easy to remember or bookmark: caveatdumptruck.com
Meanwhile, I will cross-post this entry to facebookland manually, just to let everyone know.
