Note for Haloscan Users: Haloscan started (the end of July) rejecting trackbacks if they were submitted "too rapidly" by the same host. I don't know what the timer is but it is long enough so that it was very difficult to ping everyone that is using Haloscan for trackbacks. I'm sure that they are doing this to try to hold back the tide of trackback spam but it makes the service pretty useless for carnival type posts. Perhaps you can contact them and urge some different solution. Update: Typepad appears to be doing the same thing. Everytime I update the Ark it appears the timers are reset and the long list of MT autogenerated pings fail. Yecchhhh....
Happy Birthday! Middle-Fork is One!

Posted by Debra at October 14, 2005 2:46 AMDid you know that there are only 21 species of albatross remaining on earth, and 19 of them are endangered? Featured this week in Birds in the News is the lovely but endangered Black-footed Albatross, Phoebastria nigripes. To learn more about how to help save endangered albatross and to read lots of stories about other species of birds who share their planet with us, read this week's issue of Birds in the News #31!
Also, dear modulator, can you please change your announcement regarding I and the Bird so new submissions and nominations are sent to me, the next host? Many thanks!
