I like this format for an occasional wrapup.

Oh, and one blogger I know does a “Short Takes” post every Friday to catch the week’s miscellaneous news items.

Today, I placed an order for a KFHD 8.9″ 32GB. Amazon offered me 2-day one-click ordering — had never seen that before — had to go research what it was. I went ahead and added two of the three suggested add-ons: the fast charger, and the case (it’s a bit pricey, but looks nice). Charger (which also works with my KF) arrives Friday; the KFHD and case are slated to arrive on 11/26.

I wonder if that delivery date, and my pre-ordering 5 days after the event says anything about the volume of pre-orders they are receiving? Since first shipments are slated for 11/20.

I would think it would be easy to use the “#hashtag” approach (#index/search term) which is becoming something of an internet standard — used (to my knowledge) on Twitter and Google+). Don’t know whether WordPress search facility has hashtag support, but Google search will find posts containing hashtags.

Like the idea — as to the title: other bloggers have used the title: “Short Takes”, which avoids the misleading “one-liners” connotations.

To me this is a great idea but i think it was too many topics in one post. I like ur one topic a post blogs b/c i can more easily skim it and “tune out” if there is too much info. this format makes me read everything or i might miss something. okay now that i reread my post i realized it doesnt make much logical sense I dont know why Bufo but I do prefer ur typical format. … Regardless, kudos to trying something new!

I like the new one-liners format. I think it’s great as a stand-alone post for the day, or as a Bonus post along with one of your other post formats. I like getting the two posts in one day!

Thanks for writing, Jands1515!

Wow! That is a great deal!

The only negative (assuming it’s of decent quality) is that it’s not available to ship with Prime…the cover is about $5, and so is the shipping. I’m on the West Coast, though, so even without expedited shipping, I should get it pretty quickly.

The black one is that cheap, and there are other colors. Here’s a link for the black one, in case others are interested:

A discussion topic on the Amazon Kindle forum led me to my non-leather Fire Hd cover: rooCASE Ultra-Slim (Black) Vegan Leather Folio Case for Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 Inch Tablet – Slim Profile 17mm – Support Landscape / Portrait / Typing Stand / Auto Sleep and Wake…and it was less then $12 with shipping!

Thanks for writing, Lady!

Hm…I have to think about the feasibility of that. I can tell you that it would be at the end, because I’m not going to know what I have written until I get there.

I find the blog pretty searchable…don’t forget to use quotation marks if you are looking for a phrase. For example, it would be “Agency Model” rather than Agency Model.
