Windows Live Writer Test
I decided to give Live Write another try. The last time I used it, I quit because it would not display what the blog ended up displaying.

Acorns and Oaks – Seeds of Change
How to Find a Tea Party Near You Pajama’s Media list of parties National Tea Party Day site Tax Day Tea Party site, by state Twitter search on topic Eric Florak says it well: Call it what you will , but conservatives organizing protests is something unheard of in recent times. That it happens at all with conservatives, is a huge story. we expect the left to be generating these kind of things. Not the right. It’s also true that that lack of protest over the years, probably accounts for a large part of the amateurish nature of the whole thing. This is out of character for conservatives. That they do reach so far out of their character to do things like this, indicates the degree of anger going on. As I’ve suggested before in … Read entire article »

AP Botches Army Relief Story
Surprise! The AP seems to have gotten its story about Army Emergency Relief a little wrong. John of Argghhh: Just where did Donn get his information? We really don’t know. Col. Cohen isn’t exactly sure, and neither are his counterparts at other military charities. The AP article says that they analyzed the tax records of the AER, but if they were doing such a great job, how did they miss the following: During the period in question ( ’03-07), the AER distributed $250 MILLION in financial assistance Outstanding loan balances are considered an asset of the trust, even though the money is actually not in their possession. Much like a 401(k) plan, outstanding loan balances are included in the total assets, as if they money was still there, because it’s … Read entire article »

Australia’s Brushfire Horror
As this is written, reports from Victoria, Australia suggest that one hundred or more people have been killed by a series of fast moving brushfires. Reports are that about 400 fires driven by wind have ripped through rural areas north of Melbourne. It is a rarity in the modern United States for a wildfire to destroy entire communities. The Oakland Firestorm of 1991 was an exception. In the past, however, communities were leveled by fire. One of the greatest fires and accompanying loss of lives is often overlooked because of another, smaller fire that happened that same day. October 8, 1871 was a warm and windy day. It had been a very dry Summer and a dry Fall. The next 24 hours would see an outbreak of fires across the Midwest that … Read entire article »

The Value of Blogging For People and Businesses
April 5th, 2009 | Comments Off
Here are a few articles I have recently published about blogging for businesses and for individuals. An introduction to blogs I wrote my first blog post on a stone tablet using a crude chisel many years ago. It sounds good, doesn’t it? But blogging, one of the biggest buzz words on the Internet, is just a few year old. Blog is short for “web log”. The first people to blog created a personal diary on the Internet. Today, about a decade later, nearly all the blogs in existence are still just a personal diary on the Internet. Company blogs and their value for public relations A company blog brings a great deal of value to a business’s public relations efforts.A company blog is about information.
