To friends of "this blog sits…"

Apparently, MT is refusing comments that use the word "as."  Oh, brilliant.  Please avoid this term.

Sorry, Grant

this is rather hilarious

we need to come up with a special cultureby.com blog word that we agree is the substitute for the forbidden word or…

wonder if a s would work, with a space in the a and the s

no, that doesn't work. i have removed all the suspect words and replaced them with a space s but no go. it must be something else. your blog is behaving like a VW's electrical system.

Leora, sorry, I have sent MT a question about this and I will see what they say. How annoying! Grant

And I'm such a big fan of that word…not only will it not accept that word, but it doesn't like words that have those two letters contiguous to one another in them!

so what we need to do is write our posts in word first, then do a find/replace on the letters a and s when they are side by side. the trick will be to come up w/ a consensus for the replacement letters. e.g. the word ma ster would become m**ter.

Notice, however, that "fuck that" works!

If I'm not mistaken, MT doesn't reject it; such filtering is through plugins.

Maybe you're using MTBlacklist with too liberal a regular expression?

th@nks to one and @ll for comments and suggestions.

The present work @round: to use @ word processor's "search and replace" function to replace "a" for "@".

Th@nks to Joe for his suggestion th@t the problem lies with MT Bl@cklist. I h@ve plowed around on the bl@cklist and see a problem. But then I _w@s_ plowing around.

Business Week calls it one of "the best innovation and design books of 2009"

800 CEO Read holds it as one of the best "Big Ideas" book for 2009

“Building on decades of eye-opening research into the culture of consumption, Grant McCracken demonstrates why many companies get blindsided by cultural factors that were hidden in plain view, and offers a compelling argument for why they need to bring cultural expertise into their executive suite. Here’s hoping more corporate executives hear his call.” — Henry Jenkins, author, Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide

“The title of this book is a lie. It's not merely for companies that decide they need a Chief Culture Officer, or even just for those who aspire to that job. It's for you. Right now. If your job involves marketing, inventing, selling or simply investing in companies that make stuff, this book is a must read.” — Seth Godin, author of Tribes & Purple Cow
