It's always good to know what parts of a piece people liked, and what parts they particularly reacted to. There actually seems to be a term for this phenomenon of doing other tasks when you are distracted from your main one. It appears to be called <em>active procrastination</em>, only some people seem to look at it as just another way in which people procrastinate on their main task(s). I guess that could be true if you got carried away, but being human, distraction is an inevitability at some point, so I figure you might as well make the best of it. Once again, thanks for the vote.

I'm not sure whether you know about windows live writer, but this tool is great to blog with as you can write your posts ahead of time and then set the timer to post them ahead. (Only downfall is that you cannot set a specific time, so if you blog your early post say on Monday evening at 6 PM and set them to go live on Wednesday, they will go live at 6 PM too). Since I have used live writer I have saved so much time by not having to play around with coding and stuff. Good luck with your entry as well. Hi John,
