"In reading, a lonely quiet concert is given to our minds; all our mental faculties will be present in this symphonic exaltation."

~ Stéphane Mallarmé (1842 - 1898)

Magnificent, Stewart. How on earth do you a) decide which posts are relevant and b) assign the flags?

Is it magic? No. Does he outsource to China? No. Actually, I have an invisible section which aggregates all the posts, picking up new ones on a regular basis and then I'll sift through the latest posts, delete those that don't meet the subject, assign the flags manually, if relevant, and then bullk move them over. It's a bit of effort, but I hope it's worth it.

Very clever.

And if we have a comment about a particular entry, would you like it here on the forum or on the blog?

That's your choice. It would be unfair not to comment on the original blog if you have something to say in response to the blogger.

Unless of course that blog belongs to a member here (and thanks Stewart for including my humble efforts!)

You're welcome.

Of course, if anyone comments here on the blog posts then I can break it off and create a brand new discussion topic on the main forum, as happened with the Thomas Mann: Death In Venice thread.

Hello Stewart

I've only just realised what's happening here. Very clever - and very effective. I don't spend enough time on the net to view everyone's blogs and this is a very useful tool. Thanks for your dedication.

Tom

Thanks Tom. The more blogs I add the harder it gets to keep track of all that's coming in. But it's an enjoyable little task, in its way.
