Blogger seems to be updating the archive page with every post like it should have been doing for the last few months. The Publishing tab reports publishing the index file, the archive month file and the archive index file. If all goes well that is.
This means everyone can link to the individual entries without getting an error. This way, if you respond to another bloggers post, a weblog reader can follow to that exact post instead of the index page. This is especially helpful when the entry referred to is old.

On June 16th, 2003 (Bloomsday), Ron Silliman's Blog expressed curiosity with the lack of John Weiners audio on my Complete Audio Links page. (Using the search feature in the right hand sidebar you can find several John Weiners links in the weblog.) This is due to the fact that the Audio Links pages have been mostly stagnant for about a year.
There are several excuses for this, the initial one being that the list became unwieldy in HTML form and it became apparent that I needed to transfer the audio links list into a database format. Two: typing for hours on end has become increasingly more difficult after I started using a cane. Three: I don't know SQL/PHP and couldn't not find assistance with the project. It is my summer resolution to learn, but then it was also my Christmas vacation resolution to learn them. Four: I am currently a little more than half-way through the letter C poets in the database entries and I am already at 750 links. The stagnant Audio Links List runs just under 3,000 links. Five: It has become necessary to work extra hours at my place of employment.
Therefore, I am putting out a request to anyone who could/would assist Laurable dot com with either the database entries or the SQL/PHP interface. Database entry can be very flexible. E-mail me and I will send you the details, although this might be in a week or two as I am having difficulties fixing my computer.
Any advice, perhaps literature for people with little experience in query language or recommendations involving editors, etc., would be very helpful. Start-up help with the programming would be wonderful, although I know this is very expensive. I am willing monitarily compensate (to an extent) for the service.
Thank you.

An Incomplete List Of Things I Did on Bloomsday In No Particular Order
Turned my alarm off and went back to sleep after remembering I didn’t have to go to work.
Bought two lottery tickets (total three dollars) and won four dollars.
Cringed at Silliman’s footnote on my lack of John Weiners links (there are several in the weblog). Then decided to use this as an opportunity when I blog on Wednesday.
Listened to Mr. Rogers sing It's Such a Good Feeling (listen) and Won’t You be My Neighbor (listen).
Thought about calling my Boy-Next-Door to wish him a Happy Bloomsday, then decided against it.
Temporarily suspended my moratorium of book purchasing and bought All Poets Welcome: The Lower East Side Poetry Scene in the 1960s (with accompanying CD that has many Dial a Poet duplicates) at St. Marks Bookstore.
Neglected to buy a day pass Metrocard and thus wasted a lot of money.
Took the M14 bus, the N train and the A train up to 207th Street in upper Manhattan.
Called my Fella and left a message wishing him a Happy Bloomsday.
[Censored].
Read All Poets Welcome in several local community gardens in my Lower East Side/East Village neighborhood.
Bought and ate some Brie (I normally don’t eat cow dairy) at the East Village Cheese Shop on Third Avenue.
Rode an MTA bus from 207th Street (upper, upper, upper Manhattan), down Broadway to the South Ferry (southern Manhattan).
Stopped by the Bowery Poetry Club but both LuckyDave and Bob Holman were not in.
Dropped my cane and knocked heads with a gentle attempting to retrieve it for me.
Thought about blogging and then decided against it.
Said a cheery “Happy Bloomsday” (without explanation) to a confused barista at the Bowery Poetry Club.
Mistakenly started to ride down Seventh Avenue below 42nd Street, wondered if I should go with the mistake, but decided I didn’t want to go through the fashion district.
Read several passages mentioning Ron Silliman and Nick Piombino in All Poets Welcome: The Lower East Side Poetry Scene in the 1960s.
Wished John (Sophies bartender) a Happy Bloomsday on my way to Avenue A.
Drank my coffee in Tompkins Square Park.
Unsuccessfully checked my e-mail
Put on my Bloomsday dress (Navy blue, mid-calf with large cartoon white and pink daisies.
Recorded to mp3s the All Poets Welcome CD and listened to a shuffled selection.
Exchanged Bloomsday greetings with several evening crowd people in Sophies on my way back home.
Fretted
Showed a tourist where the subway was located (five feet to our right) in Times Square
Returned home to pick up a sweater.
Loved NYC
Rode the South Ferry to Staten Island and back in a very cold wind. Was tired, but not merry.
Got caught in a construction traffic jam on Broadway below Canal.
Felt thankful that my apartment isn’t next to an elevated subway.

The Vicissitudes of Literary Reputation; a New York Times Magazine article about Robert Lowell, his life and his recently published Collected Poems.
Note:
Almost as famous was Edwin Arlington Robinson, whose best-selling Arthurian trilogy -- ''Merlin,'' ''Lancelot'' and ''Tristram'' -- is something that few readers now would want to linger over, particularly if they were hoping to stay alert enough to drive or operate heavy machinery.
Does this imply that people read when driving or operating heavy machinery.

Rule #3: Be symbolically aware. For further details e-mail me and hopefully I will recieve it.

A quick post on a busy day... RonSilliman dot blogspot dot com posts his thoughts on the School of Quietude vs. post-avant poets.
He writes that [Emily Dickinson] would never get into print in Prairie Schooner, Poetry, The Atlantic, The New York or even The Nation, were she alive today. Emily Dickinson was published in TheAtlantic a few times, including the essay Thomas Wentworth Higginson wrote about their correspondence for the October 1891 issue. The essay is available at TheAtlantic dot com. A review of Dickinson's poems by Martha Hale Shackford was published in the January 1913 issue. Yes, alive today. I know. I just tell you where to go. I don't tell you what to think.
