And since I’m back, the tips and tricks from my starred items have accumulated again. I’ll have to clip this post with the MORE tag after 10 entries because it is going to be a long entry. Click the link at the bottom of the post (or click the post title) to see the rest of the entry. But if you are reading this in a RSS/Feed reader, then the whole post should show up.
And for the next series of Life tips, I’ll post the top (I consider) 10 tips, then post the rest after the jump. I’m doing this in an effort to minimalize this website, and to further speed up loading.
