Thanks for the link. I knew nothing about blogs until the Spring of 03, when I started looking into the Howard Dean campaign. Blog For America was the first blog I ever set my eyes upon. Since then, I've seen how powerful a tool it can be, especially in the political world.
Hopefully, the bloggers are keeping our news media a little more focused during this campaign season.
By the way, is the background on this blog what I think it is?
I am glad the postings are useful.
The background is just a strip of photos of my gardens and ponds, faded out. I don't know what you think it is, but it is probably not, as I can't imagine you thinking of my flowers and pond.
I makes for a great background. As certain artists have shown, images of flowers and nature can evoke all sorts of things.
