I think I lack a facial recognition gene. Yeah, I know nobody finds it easy to recognise people or remember their names. This is not what I’m talking about.
I can remember people’s names, I just can’t tell whether I’ve met them or not. My recognition techniques therefore include getting into inane conversations with them and hoping that by talking about nothing for a while something they say rings a bell.

Dash across to wordpress.com and as of today you’ll find 3.9 million blogs listed. Sheesh. Makes you want to stop right there. Because that would only be a fraction of the actual blogs who want more control than WordPress or other free services like Blogger can offer them.
