When are we bloggers going to get our "Incoming Links" fixed? We know that other folk are linking to us from their posts, but there's no way that we can search for those links unless you get your act sorted out.
Just in case you're wondering, we're talking about your Google Blogsearch thing - in the dim and distant past it used to work fine, but it's been screwed for ages now, you know it and yet you do nothing, despite declaring the following:
What is Blog Search?
Blog Search is Google search technology focused on blogs. Google is a strong believer in the self-publishing phenomenon represented by blogging, and we hope Blog Search will help our users to explore the blogging universe more effectively, and perhaps inspire many to join the revolution themselves. Whether you're looking for Harry Potter reviews, political commentary, summer salad recipes or anything else, Blog Search enables you to find out what people are saying on any subject of your choice.

Come on, it's the season of goodwill. How about sending some of it our way?
To readers of my drivel: if you've linked here and have been disappointed by my lack of appreciation, you know who's to blame. To find out if I'm likely to know about your link, feel free to search for it - go to the Google Blogsearch page and search for "http://beardedgit.com/".
Please bear in mind that YMMV - just don't go there now with any expectation of the results being up-to-date.
