This means that folks who are familiar with Blogger were tring to access my blog via &lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;prophetormadman.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;. Perfectly logical, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's logical, it just didn't work.  The Blogger-phile didn't find me.  A potential reader was thwarted.  ::: sigh :::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, that's kind of my fault. When I started &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Prophet or Madman&lt;/span&gt; in the latter part of 2004, I felt that truncating the blogURL by two characters would be a good idea. Don't ask me why.  Maybe I just liked the way it looked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, someone not finding &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Prophet or Madman &lt;/span&gt;is not a big problem in the grand scheme of things.  It's not even an annoyance in the minor scheme of things. Well, at least not for them. Me, on the other hand, I don't want to miss the opportunity to add to my reader base (which is undoubtedly lying somewhere south of ... oh, I don't know, three or four). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11798724-111219142202567022?l=prophetormadman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://prophetormadman.blogspot.com/feeds/111219142202567022/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11798724&amp;postID=111219142202567022' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11798724/posts/default/111219142202567022'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11798724/posts/default/111219142202567022'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://prophetormadman.blogspot.com/2005/03/redirect.html' title='Redirect'/><author><name>Brainwise</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/1/buddyicons/71021791@N00.jpg?1160799977'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
