Why does my blog URL contain the number "30?"
Old-time journalists know.
From the days of "hot type," the number "30" at the end of a typewritten story indicated "the end."

I love -30- ... it brings back memories of blue pencils and "stet" and "cq" -- all those great green-eyeshade moments.
"Hello, sweetheart! Get me rewrite!"
Welcome to this new country, mister!
Pray tell...why did you put the 30 in the middle and not at the end?
i figured out the 30...but not why it's in the middle of your name.
My previous comment was obsolete, so I deleted it. However, I agree with Jessica and Emily on the 30 issue.
