Hear Hear! I was hoping some sort of permanent residency would take place. Xeni has continued to post the most fascinating links, definitely on par with the main boing boing page. Welcome and thanks, for all the amazing resources for my online education and amusement.

Excellent! Xeni has come up with truly excellent links, some edge of the solar system, what the fuck links that I haven't seen anywhere else. Bring it on, Xeni!

(no offense to other guestbloggers past and future but)
fan-fricking-tastic. She's got absolutely marvelous interests and allows us to vicariously experience her life in the glamorous sci-fi future subculture. Woohoo!

Most excellent - she was enthusisatic, brought interesting and quality stuff - I'm excited about this leap forward!

Xeni, welcome aboard. I've really enjoyed your links. While we're on the subject, is there any reason the Guestblogger can't have Discuss links, too? I've been saddened by their absence a couple of times.

Except her posts are too long, mostly just reiterations of what's in the actual body of the link, once followed.

Hopefully she'll pick up the boingboing format soon- give us a taste/tease, and if we're interested, we can read the pages for ourselves...

Welcome aboard!! I was getting tired of there not being a 'discuss' link on your postings, but now there WILL be - or else... ;)

As the firstever guestblogger I say whoo-effin-rah! She is far and away the best guestblogger you've ever had. My only complaint about her many wonderful posts was that there was no discussion area for them. Now that she's a staffer, there will be. I'm mighty happy.


(she -is-, -is-. I hate when I forget words. And closing my parentheses)

Wavingpalms, I see your point but I really think it's a taste thing. Cory's posts tend to be long as well. But I appreciate how well both bloggers sum up longer articles, so I like it.

Maybe this will mean we'll have better week-end action! Sa./Sun. are the only days I have time enough to really read the blogs and discussions.

Yay! Cute and intelligent! You can't beat that! You guys are lucky to have her.

Kudos-- I've often thought that she was the best guest blogger I've ever seen around here. I've followed more of her links by far than any other guest you've had. Excellent decision.

Great job Xeni, I concur, your links were often (shudder, Heresy) better than the main. Can't wait to put in comments...

Is it just me, or does Xeni look like a character from Wild at Heart? She's got a very David Lynch type of beauty.

New Boinger? Great! The more the merrier.

Might as well ask this here: is there, or will there be, an RSS feed of the guest blog?

Probably not -- there's no easy way to get Blogger to generate such a thing... Maybe someday, tho'.

MOST excellent! I kept meaning to email you guys and suggest she become a permanent fixture. Damn, now I'll be even MORE obsessive about BB, if that's possible.

That's great, Xeni's guest-blogging has led to a lot of stories I might not have seen otherwise. All hail the now even stronger BoingBoing meme-starting megabeing!

So does Blogger Pro only output one RSS feed? OR do yolu only get one blog with blogger pro?

Another RSS feed feature request while I'm at it: can you include the "by line" in the RSS feed?

Yup, good call.

(Though I suppose that does mean we won't be seeing her picture all the time any more. Well, you win some...)

I agree with Pat, best guest blogger I've seen on boingboing.
RSS link What's this?
