Attn Readers: MetaNoodle Modifications

I have made a few metadata changes to iNoodle.com, as follows:

* Instead of 30 days' worth of posts on the home page, only the 10 latest posts now appear. I did this so that: 1) the iNoodle.com home page loads more quickly and 2) the home page is easier to peruse.

To find earlier posts, you may do any of the following:

- Do a keyword search using the Blogger "SEARCH THIS BLOG" feature at the top of iNoodle.com. NOTE: Google/Blogger has fixed this tool such that it now works well.

- Link from the "Previous Ten Posts" listing located in the right-hand column.

- Dip into the "iNoodle.com Archives" located in the right-hand column. The archives are indexed by day and date.

* The metadata shown at the bottom of each post has been changed to include an explicitly marked permanent link ("PERMALINK") to the post. This is useful for bloggers who wish to link to an iNoodle.com post, and for readers to bookmark or copy-and-paste the URL for a particular post into a document, email message, etc. Note, too, that the small white envelope with the black arrow enables you to email a post directly from iNoodle.com.

* In the "Recommended Links" section, located in the right-hand column, I added a link to John Pilger's page on ZNet. I heartily recommend your sifting through the list of his current and archived articles available via his ZNet page. Here are a few notables:
