Blogging activity level through Nov. 7
October 30, 2008
Just a note that I’m covering for some people on vacation for the next two days, and next week I will be in a training class that will require long commutes each day. I’ll post when I can, but activity will certainly be limited.
My blogging activities
October 28, 2008
My blogging activities have expanded a little the last couple of weeks. I’m now a guest blogger over at Jim Vicevich’s Radio Vice Online site. This does not mean that I’m blogging any more than I used to, just spreading the wealth a little bit.
My personal goal is to provide one or two posts per day on average, and keep my time commitment to no more than one hour a day. Some days will be more, some less. I have a job and other responsibilities; and this site does not pay very well. 
Housekeeping scheduled this week
October 6, 2008
OK, it’s not really scheduled, but it will happen at some point. I’m going to be updating my theme to the newer version that has some additional functionality and is a bit cleaner.
The changes will happen within the next seven days and you may notice that the home page and article pages look a bit strange at times, but everything will still be available.
I may also take a stab and improving/enhancing the category list. It’s been my goal to keep the list “tight” and clean and use post tags to supplement the categories but I’m finding that I may need a few more categories.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Trying Twitter
September 16, 2008
For those of you really into Web 2.0 social networking, I’ve created an account with Twitter and started doing some micro-blogging. You’ll see the “tweets” over in the right column just under the Recent Comments section.
Not exactly sure how long I will do this. I guess you can say that I’m in alpha or beta right now.
Conservative247 switching to AP “down” style for headlines
August 5, 2008
For print headlines, the Associated Press (AP), Wikinews and Wikipedia suggest “down” style for headlines which means that only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized.
As an alternative, the “up” style capitalizes every word except those with fewer than four letters and looks kind of weird to me. AP is fine with this for online headlines.
So we’re switching to “down” style for the time being. We reserve the right to change our mind.
Just deal with it, or comment below to give your point of view.
