In the short history of the blog – you’re already on the map. (Can a link-savvy person post that blog graph that shows Roger’s blog? I saw it at Kevin Drum’place a few days ago.) In any case, I guess that means the pressure is on? Just keep it honest and you’ll have nothing to worry about!…..

After you sit at your computer for 14 hours straight, subsisting on junk food and soda pop, “blog” is the sound your lower intestine makes when you stand up…

Richard,

I think that’s “bloog”.

Great news! Day by Day Cartoon has returned, and the first entry is on BLOGS.

In fact, Heather, I can’t be the first person to see today’s Day by Day and wonder if one of Rather’s less-irony-challenged confidantes might not suggest he start a blog in his “retirement.”

(But I’ll bet it’ll take him awhile to learn enough HTML to do italics…

or block quotes!)

Depends on your abdominal muscle tone.

You speak of something with which I am unfamiliar. I must defer to your expertise in this matter.
