Dear readers, Google has once again "updated" one of its products. As always with a Google update, Blogger is now uglier, less functional, has a less useful and more crowded interface, and requires more clicks to get anything done.
The result for you is this: in old Blogger, when I opened up the page for my blog, unpublished comments were right there for me to moderate. Now when I open Blogger, I have to make additional clicks to get to the unpublished comments. This means I might forget I should even be looking for comments. I am quite absent-minded and keep forgetfulness at bay only with constant vigilant effort. So apologies in advance if your comments take extra time to go up.

Medium could be a good choice too – no messing around with templates, really nice layout, great community of discussion and syndication – have you considered?
ReplyDeleteSome nuanced statements from the Singapore Minister for Foreign Affairs about the military trucks in HK.
ReplyDeleteIs he suggesting, or inferring, that the 'commercial provider' didn't strictly follow the law?
Also, with: "One thing in Chinese culture is you never forget your old friends, people who were there with you in the beginning, people who were there with you through thick and thin, and surely in Chinese culture you appreciate this concept of loyalty to old friends," ... he seems to be referring to Taiwan.
