Got Blog???
Do you have your own blog?

I'm looking for people willing to cross post to my blog.
Given the shear amount of corruption and crap coming out of the current Bush administration, I've come to the conclusion that it's just too much for one person to handle on their own. I found that if I attempt to cover all the issues in any given week, by the weekend I'm completely frustrated and pissed off.

I use Blogger and can add you to the account so that you can simply copy/paste your posts to my blog as well. I will feature a link back to your blog as well and will also allow you to use the posts I've written on your blog. Check out my blog and message me here at DU if you're interested or if you have any questions.

Regards,
J. Ryan

4. Hey thanks for that Bravo411. I am new at this blog stuff. Yours is
really good. I like the way you combine substance and some humor. Plus, your layout is great. You have alot of other things at your blog. How did you do that? You know, all the things in the margins. I am not sure what they are officially called. Some look like ads, others links...? In any case, keep up the good work and thanks again.

One thing I have noticed for me is that it's hard to keep up with current events which is why I am not sure I could cross-post (just the time involved). Of course, as I write this now it occurs to me that maybe you mean posting in the form of comments? Do you? Sorry to show my ignorance here...novice and all.

How long have you had your blog?

Edited on Sun Oct-02-05 01:17 AM by Bravo411
All the stuff in the right bar of the page are links that I've put in. I don't have any advertising at all on my blog. I use to be a web designer and know enough to tweak the template in blogger. It does help to be able to code html by hand, which is what you have to do to edit the template.

I'm mostly looking for contributers for main postings. Sort of creating a blog alliance where posts from a variety of bloggers can be shared between them. This way one person alone doesn't have to deal with all the shit this administration throws at the people and can still cover the majority of what's happening out there. Unfortunately I don't have the kind of resources to set up a system like KOS which would be the ideal way to go for the site.

8. Oh, what a good idea to have the "blog alliance." So, since
it's your blog, do you review the new posts first before they are posted? Or do you just trust some people? Would you like divvy up the topics or just let the cards fall where they may?

I thought I was wrong about the advertising thing; it's just that your layout looks really neat and so I think I automatically went to "ads". I am so not a techie. Love to write though, especially about politics and this evil regime.

Yeah...KOS, hmm, wonder what kind of resources you would have to have?

Hope I am not bothering you with my 20 questions. I always have questions.

9. Those are some good questions ...
"it's your blog, do you review the new posts first before they are posted? Or do you just trust some people? Would you like divvy up the topics or just let the cards fall where they may?"

Although I would reserve the right to decide if a post is appropriate, as would any owner of the other blogs, the main reason I'm looking for people with their own blogs is to create more cross traffic between blogs of similar interests. Also, this eliminate having just anybody posting their rants under my blog. If I think their blog is a a good math with mine then I can be pretty sure their posts would meet any standards I might have, especially since they are posting the same thing to their own blog as well. I wouldn't divy up anything. There's no reason a person should have to write just for my blog as well as their own.

"Yeah...KOS, hmm, wonder what kind of resources you would have to have?"

Well for starters, a domain and a hosted server, a back end database and probably a few months of learning and coding to set everything up. Oh, and the financial resources to get it going and keep it running until advertising revenue kicks in.

11. Thanks ...
I do prefer links be as Bravo411. It helps whith search engine ranking to maintain consistancy. Anyhow, if you want to make linking easy, try blogrolling ( http://www.blogrolling.com )
It's free and easy to set up. Add the "1 Click Blogrolling" to your browser link bar and you can add blogs with a single click when you visit them. Be sure to put _blank as the source so the links open in a new window.
