For about one year now, I've been twittering this site's updates on my @ozh Twitter account, without really telling anyone about it. Call this a forgotten experiment. Well, I'm now telling you, so feel free to follow me! (Note: I'm not really a Twitter user, so don't expect anything from me if you twitt something to @ozh)
My "Manage Plugins" page are getting quite lengthy: this blogs is running 31 plugins, my test blog is running nearly a hundred.
