Hey Brian,
I was looking at myself today :) and noticed that when you're on the main Dr Becca page where you can see the 1st paragraph or so of all my posts, any hyperlinks therein aren't clickable. For example, on the banner winner post, the words "Better Posters" are a hyperlink to Zen's website, but it's only clickable once you're in the actual post. Is that intentional?

Doc Becca, yeah, its intentional. We're only displaying the first 800 characters of each post. The problem is that if you have a link or any other HTML in there things can get messed up. Say your link was right on the border of those 800 characters and the hyperlink tag wasn't closed, that'll make all of the links on the page unintentionally link to your destination. All YouTube vidoes are also stripped out. I guess we can avert this problem buy just displaying full posts? It's really up to you guys!
Let me think about this for a bit, I have an idea. :)

As requested, the links have now been activated :) I put a failsafe script in there to look for unclosed tags. If it finds an unclosed tag, it truncates the summary to that point.
I guess I could do the same for the YouTube videos too...

Brian,
Is there any chance of moving the RSS feed buttons on the blogger home pages up the column so that they're right below our profiles and above the Junk Box? Right now they're way down the bottom and hard to find. Especially if you like a long blog roll like me. :-)

Fixed, just for you! I should put a comment in the code that says "Moved, because Odyssey asked" :P

Careful you don't overinflate my ego. Last time that happened things got out of hand and my wife had to give me a good beating.
