I’ve recently been playing about with the Google Connect and Facebook Connect applications – that let you implement social features on your site/blog. You’ll notice the new Facebook connect login section top left – it works fine for me, but I’d like some feedback – is it working okay for my readers?

Drop me a comment and let me know a. If you’re interested in using it, and b. How you found it if you have used it

I’m curious as to whether people see social features like this as something desirable or undesirable. Obviously from my point of view, I’d love to have some social functions beyond commenting on the site – and I’d be happy to see a ‘Tribe’ form here, as I believe my best writing is done when someone gives me a purpose to write for.

Went out for a delicious lunch today with my Mum – I haven’t been on an office Xmas lunch for years as I’ve not worked for anyone but myself for some years, so it was nice to try out Rustica, a new restaurant in Wakefield centre. Yea verily it was good! I particularly enjoyed the orange sorbet, although it was more like orange ice cream!

Adventures in North Yorkshire tomorrow, should be fun. I haven’t left West Yorkshire for months!!! One tends to get quite insular when winter brings additional back/hip pain, so a trip out will do me good, might take the camera too…
