Villiage Voice Idiots

Filed under Weblogging

The Village Voice gives us a guide to the conservative blogosphere. This is like sending Sean Hannity to cover the Communist Party USA annual convention.
The highlights:

Megan McArdle being called a “lipstick libertarian.” I’d jump on that domain name in a heartbeat.
Jonah Goldberg’s “stupid/evil ratio” is 90/10.
Michelle Malkin is “very, very angry.”
What to expect from Ace: […]

Lend a Hand

Jay Solo is in deeper financial straights than me. An ad buy or a donation would be nice, but any job leads would be ideal.
P.S. My job hunt continues. I’ve sent out a plenty of resumes but haven’t gotten any responses. If you have any leads send them my way [sean–at–theamericanmind–dot–com].

Turn Envy into Success

Filed under Weblogging

Lashawn Barber gives webloggers some needed advice when it seems their writing efforts aren’t amounting to the success they hoped:
Takeaway lesson for bloggers: Don’t let blogger envy block your success. Use the energy from that vile emotion to create something of your own. Self-esteem comes from doing something worthwhile, not from hearing affirmations on how […]

Ned Yost No Fan of Weblogs

Milwaukee Brewers manager Ned Yost has a unique way of dealing with weblogs:
I’ve decided that from now on when NASCAR is on the docket, I’m going to pull a “Yost,’’ or react the same way he does when the subject of blogs are brought up.
See, the manager is not a big fan of blogs, which […]

Ace of Spades, Weblogger of the Year

Congratulations to Ace of Spades for being named the “Blogger of the Year” at CPAC.
In his speech–yes, Ace gave a speech–he talked about how we didn’t need to tolerate a political class telling us things have to be a certain way. He said we may never see another Reagan again, but we can still stand […]

WordPress.com Offers 3GB of Space

WordPress.com announced they’re offering 3 GB of weblog space with their free service. That’s impressive.
When you combine that with their domain mapping for $10/year I’m wondering why I bother with paying about $120/year having DreamHost host TAM?
I’ve had serious problems the last year or so with DH. I’m not sure if I should trust a […]

TAM Endorses Betsy’s Page

Filed under Weblogging

Today is the last day to vote in the 2007 Weblog Awards. TAM isn’t dead last which pleases me. But unless I hire a couple Ron Paulbots to rig the voting TAM won’t be winning the Best of the Top 501 - 1000 Blogs category. So, like Sen. Sam Brownback I have to drop out […]
