Well, it's been over a year since I started Blue Virginia, and I'm still blogging. Overall, I've enjoyed it, except for one thing: I'm really tired of the Blogger platform. Problems with Blogger include: people tell me it's difficult to leave comments; there's no "more" button, which means the front-page posts take up too much space; there are no community features at all; the default coding is not compatible for cross-posting at blogs like Daily Kos, and it's really annoying; etc. On the other hand, it's free!. Despite that important fact, I've decided to make a change, which you will see in the next few days. I hope you like it, and just as importantly, I hope I like it! :) Anyway, stay tuned for Blue Virginia 2.0.

Fortunately, as good Dems, we are primed to see change as a positive force, rather than a negative one!
ReplyDeleteThe main thing is that the blog subjects remain substantive and topical; people come to this blog because it has a reputation for thoughtful and interesting information.
ReplyDeleteyea - and maybe some format advice for Blue Commonwealth - the site is just two boring. the blue font is two much with white. I go there and I am not interested because of the format.
ReplyDeleteChange is good. Good luck with making the cross-over. You won't regret it.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had time to redo the format over at TC. I really cant stand word press.
ReplyDeleteTom, I'm planning on all my posts at the new site being substance-free and off-topic. "Pictures of puppies and lots of words typed in a funny font" is my first post, hope you like :)

ReplyDeleteThen, I guess you will be doing a Republican-oriented site
