and you can embed it in your blog

My Timeline

Tweets by selbyevans

Your timeline

• Your timeline is a string of items you post somewhere.
• My timeline is a list of links relevant to topics in my blog.  
• It serves as to hold links that I might want to use later.  
• And it is suggested reading for others interested in some of my topics.
• I also repost event notices that give a Hypergrid address in text
• So my timeline carries some event suggestions.
