Hi, friends.

Just wanted to point out a few small changes to the site, underwritten by the move from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6 — just as all the hip kids (or is that the nerdy ones?) — are going from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7. (Drupal is an open-source content-management system and blogging platform.)

One change is that you can now more easily share any of my post via the "Share This" function, and I hope you will. Another is that you can now leave a comment via your Facebook log-in, meaning you don't have to register for an account before seeing your wisdom in print. A part of this addition is that if you choose, your comment can easily be shared on your FB page simultaneously.

You may have noticed a couple of additions in the right-hand column: I'm now streaming tweets from my @fatboythinman account, and I've reinstated a list of stories that I've written for print. Lately, I've been doing a fair amount on food and sustainability for the Boston Globe's food section.

There are a couple of changes under the hood, too, but you'd have to be even less interested in those.

Thanks for reading.
