한국/어 How-To is a new kangmi section that allows members to post content that will be useful to Korean learners and expats in Korea. For starters, I’ve added a couple of previous posts from kangmi: “The Korean words to “Happy Birthday to You” and “A Mnemonic for Remembering the Days of the Week”. I’ve also linked to a site on how to play 가위, 바위, 보.
I haven’t thought of all of the possibilities, but you will. Once you’re logged in (register if you’re not already a member), you can post through the Post to 한국/어 How-To, Korea, Resources, or Supermemo (always at the top of the center column). You don’t need my permission to post in any of those sections, but I do reserve the right to remove content that I deem inappropriate.
You’re not limited to the Korean language. Posts can talk about how to get somewhere, how to buy something, how to do something in Korea. That’s the 한국 of 한국/어 How-To.

저는 오늘저녁 Trio Medieval의 음악회에 가려고 해요.

Although the last few weeks have been slow blogging weeks, they have not been without actual Korean study. 인선 and I continue to meet. Last night we completed the Novice I level of the Sogang University course. We’ll spend the rest of this month in weekly conversation (and answering my endless questions) before moving on to the next level. 인선 suggested at the beginning of Novice I that by the end of it we should be able to converse totally in Korean. We’re not yet, but it’s getting easier to talk about everyday things in Korean.
Next month will bring a new challenge, as 인선 will be traveling for a few weeks starting in mid-May. I’ve asked her to find a tutor for me during that time. My wide-ranging pessimistic self imagines that whatever comfort level I’ve achieved with 인선 will be smashed to pieces before it achieves a new, stronger state.
There’s been plenty to write about, but not so much time in which to do the writing. I have a backlog of post ideas, a new section under development, and a new project idea for a learning Korean resource. There might be a guest author later this month. I’m still trying to sort out various issues with Bloglines, and you’ll have noticed that I can’t seem to stay away from the CSS.
More (much more) to come.

I would not normally bore you, my readers, with this sort of thing, but I’m feeling squeaky, and wheels need to be greased.
I’ve been having Bloglines troubles since early this year. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Only one problem of several has been solved. Bloglines has been inconsistent with their customer service (yes, I know they’re free, but they’re not the only reader around). Hence today’s e-mail:
In Bloglines, whenever this feed:
http://www.kangmi.org/index/weblog/rss_atom/
is updated, there is an error when one clicks on the link to the post. The link should be a permalink to the post. Instead, the link goes to http://www.bloglines.com/.
Is there something I need to fix, or is the problem on your end?
This is the second time I’ve written about this specific problem, back when Gord noticed it in mid-March. I received no response.
We’ll see what happens.
UPDATE: I haven’t received a reply from Bloglines, but nonetheless the problem has been fixed. I still have two additional issues with them, one longstanding one, and one newer one. Here’s hoping.
