I posted about 100 new photos and video to Flickr today.
Also, I have discovered a way to insert photos into this blog's RSS feed. If you are an e-mail subscriber (sign up now!), you probably already noticed this, with a few hand-selected photos appearing in your most recent Garblog e-mail update. I was initially unsure whether or not these photos would post to the blog as well, but it now appears that they will not; they will only be in the RSS feed / in the e-mail updates. Of course, you can always go to Flickr to see them, but if you sign up for the e-mail updates, they will just come to you, no fuss, no muss! Do yourself a favor...

Dawn Patrol
Finally back out running this AM. Felt good to get the blood flowing! It was probably the earliest start of any run I've done in Taiwan, and I have to admit it it was nice to not have the pounding rays of the sun coming down on me. Details will be posted later, as well as (I hope) a re-cap of June's training. Stay tuned!
And it you haven't signed up for e-mail alerts yet, what are you waiting for? The form works, all you have to do is enter your e-mail and then confirm your subscription on an e-mail that will automatically be sent to you. That's it! Get to it.

Report: "fiddling" successful!
Alright, I can confirm that the new e-mail opt-in widget at Garblog is fully functional; sorry for the delays in reaching this point. If after my last entreaty about opting in to e-mail alerts you signed up, you will need to go back and do it again if you want to get the e-mails now.
One other change is that the e-mails do not come in "near-real time"; they are now in a "daily digest" format. On days when I post (I am not that regular, folks), between 3 - 5AM Central Time in the U.S. (I know that the majority of my regular audience is there), you *should* get an e-mail with new post(s). I figure that timeframe will give you all (y'all) something to chew on for the day, served up nice n' fresh!
Of course, if you want to see developments as they happen, then you 'll just have to fire up Garblog on the web.
In one final addition, I've added the ability for readers to rate each post (I am sure this will get a lot of use...umm, not really) and to share them using your favorite social media platforms (as long as your favorite is one of Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, Blogger, or just plain old e-mail). Again, this is nice to have, but I am not so sure that it will be all that useful to the readership of Garblog. Who knows, maybe I will be surprised!

Monday run
Got out extra-early for my run today, and it was a good thing, for even though it was early, it was pretty hot! After I got back, I was as soaked with sweat as if I had jumped into a swimming pool with my clothes on - yuck! I hope this is not a harbinger of things to come this summer in terms of the heat we will be dealing with on a daily basis, but I fear that it is.
On an unrelated note, it is quite possible that my new e-mail notification system for new posts here at Garblog is not working as it should. I may soon replace it and try another method. This would require another "opt-in" from readers. I will post separately if I decide to do this.
