Ben, I don't know what that means to have my blog show up on http://planet.firefox.com/os. I'm happy with using Blogger (I've been using it for years, it is lame, but I understand it.) Please illuminate! I'm happy with the blog. I'm averaging 5 or 6 posts a week, alternating between Firefox OS game reviews and articles on game programming with HTML5/CSS/JavaScript/SVG. I'm avoiding JavaScript libraries and testing everything I write in my ZTE Open. _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
