ScribeFire, Zemanta, and a hidden tracking image

Yesterday’s post was created using a is a great add-on for Firefox, ScribeFire, which:
is a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog.
However, in making a minor edit to the post, I noticed some code at the bottom:
<div class=”zemanta-pixie”><img src=”http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=[long tracking number here]” class=”zemanta-pixie-img” /></div>

So, did anyone notice the redesign!?

Considering the lack of love I’ve been showing to my own blog, I can’t really expect otherwise!
I’d been meaning to do quite a bit of house-keeping for some time. I actually also had a blog over at malapata.com, which I have now imported and redirected here. Wordpress made that easy enough. Does anyone have any [...]

WordPress upgraded to 2.6
