New Blog Homes: Boomshock, Norm Geras

by Joe Katzman at December 10, 2003 6:44 AM

Robert Tagorda is the blogger behind Priorities & Frivolities, though personally I've always liked the name in his Blogspot URL best: Boomshock. Now that's a blog name.

Robert's blog has a well-earned reputation for quality on many subjects, including some very fine baseball posts to go with his usual commentary. His analysis the recent California recall election was the best I found - not just in the blogosphere, but anywhere. He recently gave up on Blogspot, and moved into a much spiffier MT-based home for his writings.

Esteemed UK Blogger Norman Geras has also had it with Blogspot, and moved to Typepad. Which is good, because his material also deserves to be more accessible. Check these guys out.

A Preliminary Review of Movable Type from Priorities & Frivolities

Excerpt: So far, this personal publishing system is living up to the hype. It's much more flexible and reliable than Blogger. No longer do I worry about losing a several-hundred-word post or being locked out by an arbitrary system check. I...

This Norm is a popular guy with you Instapundit folks. That's about 1,937 blogs already that have posted his new link. What did he do, write The Sound of Music? Invent basketweaving? Stop being so incestuous.

What did he do, write The Sound of Music?

No, he is a leftist - an avowed Marxist in fact - who has proven to be consistent on the most basic questions of human rights and freedom. Hence, his rarity.

If he's a Marxist and a defender of human rights, I'd say he's confused, not rare.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
