I’ve added a new static front page to the computerfloss.com site. (I have some plans to expand here, you see.) The “/blog” part of the URL is no longer needed, so the old RSS address won’t work. Either click the RSS icon or change your feed address to: /feed/rss/ read more

Thanks to my Significant Other™ and her IPad fever, I’ve added a very nice little plug-in to my setup here at Computer Floss called Onswipe.
