Sorry for that! I got a little tied up at work and finishing the move, so I didn’t get a chance to blog for a few days. I’m hoping to catch up a little this weekend.
James Kim
I’m saddened to hear the news of James Kim’s death. While I didn’t know him, the outpouring of concern and hope around the blogosphere has been inspirational. My condolences go out to his wife and children, who after enduring over a week in the cold, are now missing their husband and father. CNET has a memoriam page dedicated to their Senior Editor that I recommend visiting if you have not heard the full story.

If you’ve been interested in how well Feedburner handles serving feeds, you may be interested in Aaron Brazell’s review.
His perspective in this review, is from the point of view of a blog network – b5media – which pumps several dozen feeds through the service. Because of the number and variety of feeds, the needs are unique, there are some items on his “wish list” that just don’t apply to individual bloggers.
Goods stuff Aaron!

This is great news for the team over at Automattic – WordPress has become a world-class platform for interactive communications, and this latest move is well-earned.
The new version will apparently be marketed through KnowNow, a Sunnyvale, CA company which has a bit of experience in the enterprise marketplace.
The new KnowNow WordPress Enterprise Edition will offer enterprises a comprehensive authoring solution that includes a powerful new platform for open communications and information management. With the addition of WordPress, KnowNow offers enterprises a platform to build their customer-facing presence in the blogosphere, or an internal platform behind their own firewall to support interactive employee communication. The solution enables authoring of content that leverages the RSS format, meaning enterprises can speed the delivery of critical information to employees, partners, or customers.

Ok, its late – 2:30am Saturday morning. But I’ve done it! RickMahn.com has a new layout. I’ve leveraged a 3-column theme here on the blog, and have gotten to use several new features that I had been planning on for some time. And it only took 4 hours to do!
The nice part about this layout is that the main body of every post has much more room for text and pictures. It also has a bit cleaner CSS structure for text, bullets and the like. Another neat feature was the support for sidebar widgets in WordPress – it made it much, much easier to set up all the specialized items that I had on the original configuration.
Well, off to get some rest – I’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow. Hopefully, we’ll get a chance to go to the Power Sports show in downtown Minneapolis – one can hope anyway.

Well I’ve upgraded hosting on my Snowmoblog site. I’m going to work on keeping some new content going there over the winter.
I’m a snowmobile nut, so I guess it was a matter of time to start a snowmobile blog, actually I started it last spring! The reality of it all is that there is always a lack of news and such over the summer, so the site sat unattended for a few summer months.
Now that cooler weather is invading the northland (I’m in Minnesota), its time to dust off Snowmoblog and get things in gear. That started Friday with an upgrade to full hosting instead of “freebie” status, and getting the RSS feeds working right away.
Keep tuned in if you’re a snowmobiler – I’m going to focus on having fun, the glossy mags can keep up on the racing stuff and “rode reports” as it were. Snowmoblog will be updated with real-world experiences – frozen lakes, getting lost in the woods, favorite watering holes – you know how it is!
