Can I use someone else's computer to check my computer? Will the results be accurate?

thanks for the recommendations, I added a few.

I would also add that people shouldn't feel obliged to read everything in their feeds. that way lies overwhelmedness.

Open Access News - http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/fosblog.html - for open access (duh)

Read Write Web - http://www.readwriteweb.com/ - for new web (2.0) things

Arts & Letters Daily - http://www.aldaily.com/ - for a smattering of the best newspaper op-ed pieces and reviews

Fast Wonder - http://fastwonderblog.com/ - for community manager/management topics

Global Watchtower - http://www.globalwatchtower.com/ - for language technology industry news

Fresh + New(er) - http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/dmsblog/ - Powerhouse Museum (Sydney, Australia) blog. regularly updated, excellent content. topics relating to how cultural institutions can have meaningful presences online (that's my take anyway).

There are also some very popular programming related ones I would add such as DailyWTF, Coding Horror, Stack Overflow.

Thanks for using the CC-BY license. It meant I could upload a bunch to Wikimedia Commons, and viola, brand new photos on Wikipedia articles. :)

Re: Free 2 Column Wordpress Theme – A Dream to Host

This is a nice theme indeed. My dad chose it and I did a bit of tweaking for him on his new travel blog.

The CSS file could do with some newlines though. I also added this (adjusted from the edit side of Wordpress) to make the image frames and captions look the same in preview as when published:

.wp-caption {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
text-align: center;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
padding-top: 4px;
margin: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-khtml-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}

.wp-caption img {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0 none;
}

.wp-caption-text {
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 17px;
padding: 0 4px 5px;
margin: 0;
}
