Starting Points Re-opening for Postings Nov 21, 2013

The blog site http://starting-points.blogspot.com/ has remained publicly accessible all this time, and from Google's traffic stats, I can see that a reasonable but smaller number of people than before are using the mini-web-directories (right sidebar) to go to relevant websites on all the issues mentioned in the blog logo -- Southeast Asia, the Muslim world, American studies, global problems, minority groups, and internet resources). Many of the built-in direct feed gadgets (bottom of the homepage) also get used. However, most Southeast Asia postings now go to my newer non-research blog, Southeast Asia Unleashed, which loads quickly at http://southeastasiaunleashed.blogspot.com/ Posts from _all_ my blogs also go to my public posts page on Google+ at https://plus.google.com/u/0/114166353305177408369/posts
Starting Points is a _research_ blog -- it is mainly designed to help readers do research on the contemporary topics mentioned in the blog logo. To achieve this, use of the mini-web-directories is indispensible. However, after over two years of trying, somewhat lamely, Google has not been able to fix the gadget which lets me edit, delete, and add sidebar links. This flaw creates many inefficiencies for blog users, and though I will keep pushing for a fix, I am not hopeful one will be done. 1000s of Blogger users have complained now for years about this problem in several of the relevant Google Groups sites.

For now, see my posts in G+, not in my blogs
Google Blogger continues to have intractable problems.
Accordingly, for now, I am posting only to Google+, not to Myanmar Monitor or Starting points. To access the posts, you may have to signup with G+ if you haven't yet done so.
