The home page and original site for the Famous Grazing Blogs

There are more than a dozen Famous Grazing Blogs residing on the cybersphere. Some are dormant and some very active. They all link back here to the Granddaddy of our blogs, founding in May of 2004.

Back to Work at the Belltower

Can’t say that was the worst headache I’ve ever had, but it might have been the longest.  I am so glad I was able to get to sleep.  Over the week the five hour nights can add up to a subtle form of sleep deprivation.  Creeping exhaustion would be a good name for it.

We are moving most of the RSS feeds that we’ve been monitoring on Google Reader over to the RSS feeds available native to Opera 9.27 in its Sun-Java Environment.  Opera was out browser of choice for a long time.  Then came the Firefox wave.  Now that it’s email and RSS readers are so easy to use, and its so far universal compatibility with each page visited, it has returned as our default browser.

Without the dozens of add-ons and extensions we were constantly loading into Firefox, Opera 9.27 has done all we asked of it without any needed additions.  It has them available, but no special need has arisen where I would need go searching, yet.  I am sure my curious mind will take to the outer reaches of this browser, but for now, well take the floor model for a spin.

The point of interest this week for me is the Opera Community.  It is no longer the eclectic combination of geek this and geek that.  It has come over to the social aspect of using the net.  We’’re gong to start a grazing blog in the Opera Community this evening.  We’ll report back here about its ease of use along with the features that may be unique to this type of blog.

This is along the lines of what the Famous Grazing series was about in its beginning. We made a point of going around to all of the few online blogging communities available in 1984 and came back here to the Belltower to report on them.  We’ll do it tonight for the Opera Community.

I love Ctrl-Z
