Alasal's blog

OK, It's good. I still have the mixed feelings about the cluttered and
multilingual planet, but I'm done with experimenting with adsense. Also I
had many reactions that were asking me for including my blog into the
planet.

I will not set the posts length for syndicated feeds, because I hate it when
I discover other blogs doing that. When I'm reading, I don't want to stop
and click somewhere else to get the rest. Maybe I will include an analytics
setting for knowing the post that are read and how many times.

Greetz and happy reading ;)
