Sorry for the off-topic post, but I wanted to point out a couple of recent changes to Roots and Grubs.
First, you should be able to edit your own comments for a short time after you post them, in case you write “Thomas Killer” or something. I’ve found that the feature works but it’s a little finicky; let me know if you have any trouble with it.
Second, people (such as my mom) have asked if I would make it easier to see when someone has posted a new comment. I played around with having recent comments in the sidebar but couldn’t find a design I liked (this is also why I don’t have links to [my favorite blogs](http://theyummymummy.blogspot.com/)). But I did add a sidebar link to the [Comments RSS feed](https://rootsandgrubs.com/?feed=comments-rss2), which you can add to Google Reader, Bloglines, or, if you really love me, an RSS-to-email gateway.
If you just want to know if someone has replied to your comment on a particular post, individual posts have always had links to their own comment RSS feeds at the bottom of the post, just above the comment box.
If nothing in this post is helpful to you at all, don’t worry, tomorrow I’ll be back to complaining about how Michael Pollan won’t let me eat at Momofuku Ko, or something.
When I read the headline I was hoping for actual housekeeping tips. You could have a new identity as, I don’t know, FlyMan. (Although I am NOT a FlyLady fan, so something else would be better.) Nicole and I could use tips about keeping a small apartment clean and uncluttered like you guys. I mean, we wouldn’t LISTEN, but we would be interested.
Wendy, did you read Apartment Therapy yet? We pretty much ignore the decorating tips (not that they’re not good, we just don’t decorate), but the decluttering advice is the best ever.
Wendy, I second Laurie’s recommendation, but our secret is not found in any book: if the apartment gets too cluttered, we just let Iris eat anything in her way.
I did, yes, several months ago. I thought most of it didn’t live up to the first chapter or so, but we loved the stuff about the flow through your apartment. This has affected us in the following way: now we point out the “swirls” where clutter gets trapped, with excitement.
Clutter Swirl sounds like a Ben and Jerry’s flavor. Chunks of all sorts of random things.
