    Thanks for the presentation. You gave some that will rid me of some clunky plug-ins and make my life easier. DISQUS will probably be the best for me.

    Not a problem. Let me know if there are any other plugins that you consider clunky that you'd like to get rid of. I'll see if I can find an alternative for you.

    Those are pretty darn cool! Now if only I had Wordpress.... LOL!

    Had to come say hi after hearing you taught your 21 month old the fist bump. There is nothing cuter than a toddler fist bumping. Except maybe Michelle and Barack Obama fist bumping. (-;

    I totally agree with the fist bumping cuteness.
    As to your lack of using wordpress, as a blogger I'd highly recommend the switch over. typepad is cool and all but wordpress is pure joy for writing, administrating, customizing, I could go on but then that just makes me seem like I've got a wordpress koolaid moustache ;)

    Chris,

    Thanks for posting the can't miss plugins. I couldn't attend your session, but was glad to see I had a half dozen of them running already. (It's nice to get confirmation that you're pointed in the right direction.)

    Thank you for the interesting tipps.
    I use Headspace2 for the title- and the description-tag, to make them different for every posting.
