NationStates Jolt Archive

Okay, I realize I've reached a new low in self-promotion here (probbably from the whisky and the late hour where I am), but I started a blog a few days ago and I'm desperate to get some feedback. It deals with politics and poetry mostly. Here it is. (http://incertus.blogspot.com) There are places for comments on the individual posts, but I'd be happy to hear from people here as well. Thanks.


Thanks to Caligatio, we have a list of the bloggers who have posted their sites on this thread. Make a request and I'll add you to the list. Check these folks out and leave a comment for them, if you would.

Good read, both of them.

Thanks for the link Bottle!!!

I admit that I have no idea how to put those links into mine...

Give me servers and networks and I am fine....ask me to code anything I break out into a cold sweat! LOL

I shall learn though...so once again...thanks!

lol, my blog site told me how to put in the links, and i sort of pieced together a rough understanding of HTML through trial and error. i'm just not that swift with the computer lingo. :P

*blush* thanks, i'm sure :). hope you don't mind that i added you to my links list.

I think I'm going to change the title of this thread to "NationStates Bloggers" or something. Turn this into a resource thread of sorts.

And thanks for the comments, Bottle. I've linked you, and I'll get Vonners on my list as well.

And to anyone else who visits the blogs, I think I speak for everyone when I ask that you put some comments there when you visit, if only to reassure us that we're not just shouting into the air. :lol:

I agree. this should be a resource thread. Where are those mods?

hey! i have a blog at www.tygrrlily.modblog.com

too lazy to make the link. copy and paste, my children.

OK I am a dunce but I must ask what the $%%@ is a blogger?

Well, while we're shamelessly plugging away: here's my blog... http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=kytowerpoet

hmm, that link didn't work for me...it said it was inaccessable.

Yeah, I messed up the link... here's the right one, guys... http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=skytowerpoet

or not, because it actually did make a link.

my update from like 4 days ago was funny...it was how to be emo.

oooh, a blogger! i've got one of them, http://zombiedeathkoala.blogspot.com

yours should be an interesting read...i'll check it out.
http://hum.amu.edu.pl/~zbzw/glob/ani28t.gif

I've just set my blog up (very crude, will work on it) but how do you enable people to reply to your thoughts and comments?
Answer would be graciously and gratefully received babe.

OK I am a dunce but I must ask what the $%%@ is a blogger?
weBLOG. it's basically someone who keeps an online journal (weblog). hence the name BLOG

I'd also like to suggest to all the bloggers--and this invitation is to any and all nationstaters who have a blog regardless of content, political affiliation, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or blog topic--post to this thread when you update your blog. That way it can stay near the front page regularly and won't take up space like a sticky would.

thanks Incertonia, I've just updated my live journal for the first time in 2 years because of this thread ^_^

Well post a link to it, Albion. I'm interested even if no one else is. What I'm hoping to do is drive some traffic to these sites.

My blog is http://cannon.blog-city.com. It's been up since June of last year.

And speaking of updates--I just updated mine. Go take a look. (http://incertus.blogspot.com)

Torn..... between letting a bunch of strangers read my blog, and the little exhibitionist inside of me (The doctors say if they try to remove him, I'll die)

Well post a link to it, Albion. I'm interested even if no one else is. What I'm hoping to do is drive some traffic to these sites.

Ok ^_^ http://www.livejournal.com/users/punkachu/

Best blog out there:

www.imao.us

Makes fun of Bush and his cabinent, but he's a conservative

I don't suppose someone would like to explain how to start a blog ?

There's quite a few journal sites out there-- a good one to try is Blogger ^_^

i use code from http://www.haloscan.com/

you just insert the code into your blog template (the site tells you where to do it), and it seems to work okay so far.

http://www.half-ten.org/

My blog resides on my domain.

I have updated as well...

updated (http://vonbek.blogspot.com)

Thanks to everyone who has joined this mini-community. Like I said earlier, this is a completely open blogosphere--everyone is welcome regardless of political persuasion or taste in music, film, etc. All I ask is that if you update, you note it on this thread so as to keep it close to the front of the forum, and if you visit any of the other blogs listed here, leave the blogger a note in their comments section, assuming they have one, to let them know that you dropped by.

And all that said, I have updated as well. (http://incertus.blogspot.com) It's a cheesy one for now, but I'll do something more substantive later.

Here's the more substantive blog entry (http://incertus.blogspot.com) for the day.

Most of you don't know me, which may or may not be a good thing, but anyway, here's my newly created blog.

I'm completely new to this, although somehow I was able to add comments to my page with ease. Thank you CommentThis!

Anyway, before I post the link, I have a quick question.

When I access my blog when I'm not logged in, I see the most recent entry. However, there's no way for me or for that matter, any other viewer, to see my previous entires. I've clicked on archives, but that just refreshes the same page, showing me the same recent entry. What do I need to do to make previous entries available?

Here's the link:

Caligatio's Blog (http://caligatio.blogspot.com)

I'm sure at least one of you will find some kind of interest in it...hopefully...maybe....

Todd M.
President of the Confederacy of Caligatio

You might want to check your settings--it's possible that you've got the blog set up to only show the most recent post.

I've got the opposite problem--I haven't been doing it long enough for my stuff to be moved from the front page yet--everything I've ever blogged is still there.

Interesting post, by the way. Just for future reference, it's "Bierce" and he was a damn fine writer, I agree.

modblog is really really good....

i updated today, www.tygrrlily.modblog.com

bleh. it's a short update.

That's a hell of a layout, Kern. I'm jealous.

yeah, it is. thanks to whoever made it, because i'm clueless when it comes to computers!

You are not alone. Everything I've learned about html, I've picked up by looking at code and experimenting, and I still suck. :lol:

heh-good times. i should learn coding because i'm a total internet junkie.

Thanks for the correction Incertonia.

Bierce is an incredible writer. My personal favorite of his is "An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge."

Heh..."i" before "e" except after "c."

Stupid rule...

I'll check the settings.

Thanks.

Ink n' Quill (http://www.livejournal.com/~nikkesen) since we're posting blogs here...

Incertonia --

If you go into Settings-Formatting, you'll see a setting called Show. It allows you to choose how many days or posts you want to show up on your main page.

If that helps at all...

Apparently, my blog got hungry and ate my first post. And it was quite good...

It detailed my recent revelation that most people are stupid, my disgust for the "new" George W. Bush, and why I will not be voting for him in November, despite the fact that I'm a conservative libertarian.

Ugh. Stupid blogs.

Ugh. Stupid blogs.

Blogs aren't stupid, the people who write certain blogs are.

Are you implying something? :?

Hey, if you're a conservative libertarian, then I completely understand why you wuldn't be voting for Bush. And thanks for the tip on the settings.

And Kryozerkia--I liked the format, but the stars kept screwing with me, so I had to close it. :lol:

Are you implying something? :?

Yes, and that is some bloggers are stupid. I'm not saying you are, but, really, I've seen some really stupid entries...

Thanks for all the advice...Off to start a blog :)

:shock: I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not...

Yes, and that is some bloggers are stupid. I'm not saying you are, but, really, I've seen some really stupid entries...

Indeed, the price we pay for freedom of speech.

Most who have stupid entries quit after a week after running out of ideas from the limited use they have of their brains.

Some do... But, most don't. They just post irrelevant shit and expect us to give a damn.

well, I've updated my stupid blog with more stupidities than a stupid man could shake a really big and stupid looking stick at ^_^

http://www.livejournal.com/users/punkachu/

Very cute, yes, really... ^_^;;

sweet, there's a whole bunch of new stuff for me to read! you guys rock, i hope the mods will sticky this or something.

Update (http://www.vonbek.blogspot.com/)

anybody else i should add to my list of reading material? :)

Just made a quick post myself--I'll be looking to update that later on once I can get a transcript of today's daily White House press briefing.

Be great to get this thread stickied...

I don't know why, but I loathe the word blog. Perhaps I just find it dysphonious.

Anyway, those LiveJournalers and any other people with nothing better to do :D can find me at http://www.livejournal.com/users/mhw/

It'd be nice to see you there.

Updated again. I've got another book recommendation there. (http://incertus.blogpsot.com)

I don't suppose someone would like to explain how to start a blog ?

Yup. Just saunter over to https://www.livejournal.com/create.bml and fill in the boxes. You now possess a LiveJournal :D

Any help needed, just drop me a telegram or stick a comment up at http://www.livejournal.com/users/mhw/

i use blogspot.com, but livejournal is very good too...it all depends on what sort of features you like. you can start journals through multiple sites and then decide which system you like the best. i'm a bare-bones kind of person when it comes to journaling, but other people like having the flexibility of lots of features and templates. it's all about your style, baby!

of course content is important as well:)

ppph! i'm American! all that matters is how you LOOK!!!!

I'm not a blogger but if you want people to visit you might ask Incertonia to edit his first post with the names and links to all people who have posted their sites. That way anyone can easily read about someone they meet in NS or if they're bored enough systematically read through every one.

I think what I like most about LJ isn't so much the features but that it very definitely makes for a sense of community - it feels a lot less like solitary writing than some of the journalling sites I've seen. I've made some of my best and most valued friends since I started LJing at the end of 2001.

In fact, it's Jed's ( http://www.livejournal.com/users/jdev/ ) fault that I found out about NS when he mentioned it a while back...

*goes to use the LJ Search toy* Ooh. Looks like there are quite a few NSers who've made LJs for their Nations. What a good idea! must go and read...

Heh. I suppose I am pimping the place a bit. I'll shut up now. :oops:

ppph! i'm American! all that matters is how you LOOK!!!!

LOLOL well I guess I fail that one!

awwww ;).

obviously i don't really feel that way, given that my own blog is a hideous mix of blue, red, and orange. and then there's my RL face...but that's a whole other nightmare... :twisted:

I'll do it sometime tomorrow, though. Thanks for the idea.

Never fear! Caligatio's here!

And I have updated for the night. It's a piece on how the Utah state legislature is apparently pissed at President Bush.

Yep, updated too ^_^

Holy shit! Thanks Caligatio! :lol:

add my thanks to that, Cal! zounds but you are helpful!

I never even knew about these things!

good for you! feel free to telegram or post if you have any questions about running your journal, and if you feel like it you should post a link so we can check it out.

Thanks! I will. I'll post a link when there's actually anything on it.

Also i meant to add that I was so busy setting it up that i stood up my lunch appointment... :oops:

haha, yeah, i should warn you that a blog will become yet another reason to not start work quite yet, or a reason to stay up just a little later than you really can afford to. :)

No kidding. I've found that I do most of my blogging at 2:00 in the morning these days.

But today (http://incertus.blogspot.com) is the exception. I did a couple of blogs last night, but I just posted something else--this on the subject of gay marriage in San Francisco.

And if the troll who ran through the comments section of my blog last night is from here, I've got a special message waiting for you there as well.

Mispirnt, I fear :)

It's 'mhw', not 'mhus'.

Thanks for doing the collation, though!

yeah, IMAO is always good for some entertainment. definitely worth a read. i also strongly recommend seanbaby.com; it's not a blog, but if you read the articles the guy wrote in the "Probe" section you can really end up bursting blood vessels laughing.

Hey Vonners, check your tm's

Just updated. It's Part two (http://incertus.blogspot.com) of the Salon piece on civil liberties I started last night.

Updated just now on the SF lesbian marriage. (http://incertus.blogspot.com)

Time to announce the nightly blog update. (http://incertus.blogspot.com) Anyone else out there blogging?

yup, i did kind of a silly update about valentine's day a little bit ago....www.tygrrlily.modblog.com

Tuesday Heights' (http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=skytowerpoet) seems to fit the bill. I'm gonna do that states visited thing though.

ah, thank you. and rosarita's is fairly similar to mine too, but then hers is regular reading.

i have like...2 good updates just waiting to be written. they're going to be fairly funny.

Oh yeah--I blogged tonight. (http://incertus.blogspot.com) Sorry. I couldn't help myself. It just popped out.

am i the only one who has a blog just for kicks? i mean, like an entertaining one that's not really political or intellectual?

mine's just for kicks. sometimes i cover political or philosophical topics on a whim, but it's all just self-indulgence and foolishness.

I like constructive criticism. I also enjoy obliterating numpties who talk bollocks:)

Numpties--that's a beautiful word. I've no idea what it means, but it's beautiful nonetheless.

anyways, www.tygrrlily.modblog.com
i'm utterly convinced that cats resent being spoken to with baby talk, and find subtle, gremlin-like ways to upset the lives of owners who inflict such torture upon them.

Here's the daily update. (http://incertus.blogspot.com) Hope you like it.

While we're on the topic of updating blogs, here's mine:

Caligatio's Blog (http://caligatio.blogspot.com)

Read into my musical tastes and a new book on the Caligatio Book List.

Plus, if you missed the last entry, you'll want to read up on that also.

Updates (http://incertus.blogspot.com) on William Safire's latest column (I agree with him, strangely enough), new links to check out, and a brief discussion of yesterday's Daytona 500.

I've just got my blog up and running in the past couple of days. It's not flash yet, but if you're into metal at all, you might find it interesting.

http://depleted-uranium.blogspot.com/

Thanks for joining the community, Lawnmowerville. You're on the list on the front page.

No thats honestly okay.

I spent part of the day downtown at San Francisco's City Hall watching gay people get married. I blogged about it here (http://incertus.blogspot.com) and there's a link to more pictures available as well. Come see pictures of the people who the right-wing claims will destroy marriage as we know it.

hey now, i updated today! www.tygrrlily.modblog.com

I recently wrote about my new-age freakish neighbor...check it out!

Updated again. Added a comments thing, a site tracker and got it looking about how I want it now. Also added a live review.

http://depleted-uranium.blogspot.com/

I've been blogging for several years now as an extension of my normal website. Since my main website is down anyway for maintenance, here's a link to just the blog:

Slackervania, I dub thee added to the front page list! :lol:

Why thank you, IC. :D

Done another update. Today I added some crap reviews. Well, reviews of things I think are crap anyway. Um, no one has left me a comment yet. :cry:

Much obliged. I expect much haranguing soon :-)

Updated. (http://incertus.blogspot.com) Briefly, the Democratic party won a special election for the House of Representatives in Kentucky last night--won it in a landslide as a matter of fact, in a seat that was previously held by a Republican. I've got more on the story plus some talk about campaign fund-raising.

I went to A Clean Well-Lighted Place for Books (a great San Francisco bookstore, probably the second best in the city) tonight to see Eric Alterman, author of What Liberal Media? and co-author of a new one entitled The Book on Bush--How George W. (Mis)leads America. It's available here. (http://thebookonbush.com)

My blog tonight talks some about his appearance, but more importantly, provides a (fuzzy and shaky) picture of Incertonia and Alterman. You know what to do. (http://incertus.blogpsot.com)

I have updated my blog (http://vonbek.blogspot.com/)....

Enjoy....

Thanking you! And thanks for the kind words too. I still haven't put on what I consider to be my best stuff yet, but there's no hurry I suppose. All those years working as a journo sorta help with the style. :wink:

I've just stuck my album list up today, so you can all see what godawful taste in music I have. 8)

I've got another update--the beginnings of a longer piece on how our "war on terror" isn't--just isn't. Look at it (http://incertus.blogspot.com) and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Quite insightful. I'd like to see the longer piece when it's finished. I can see you focus on politics a lot. I'm glad I no longer have to because I don't work in the news media any more.

I've got another one (http://incertus.blogspot.com)--sorry, Lawnmowerville, not the longer piece I alluded to earlier.

And thanks to those people who visit and leave comments, even if it's just to let us know that you've visited. Helps us feel like we're not shouting into the vacuum.

I'll add you to the list in a minute, but the only advice I'd give you thus far is to go to haloscan and set up a comments section. It's free and all you have to do is insert some code where they tell you to--if a code moron like me can do it, anyone can.

I suggest getting rid of the music. I find websites with music to be very annoying, especially if you load the site in a place where you don't want your computer making noise.

Another update...very interesting research in insect neurology.

Link to a paper is on my blog (http://vonbek.blogspot.com/)...it is a pdf file though...so you might need to go to adobe.com and download acrobat reader....

I've updated too (http://incertus.blogspot.com) and this one is about my girlfriend's stint as guest blogger on the Dean campaign website.

Updated (http://incertus.blogspot.com) just now. Had jury duty today, so I'm a little behind.

I updated mine today as well...two pieces of bad news...Bizex and the death of my favorite doggie.

Updated (http://incertus.blogspot.com) with a cute little cartoon I saw today.

I updated for the first time in a week. I was waiting for something to happen, but to no avail, so I've stuck another couple of reviews on my blog. Read at your leisure!

http://depleted-uranium.blogspot.com/

I've updated a couple of times. If it bores you to tears, don't cry too much.
www.rosarita.modblog.com

Both good entries and I've commented on both of your blogs.

Updated (http://incertus.blogspot.com) and I discuss the age old question, who is Sauron--bin Laden or Bush? The answer I have may surprise you.

Updated with a couple of cover album reviews.

http://depleted-uranium.blogspot.com/

my blog (http://vonbek.blogspot.com/) is updated....

Stuff about the spying furore and my football club Leeds United.

Stuff about the spying furore and my football club Leeds United.

I'm a Gunners fan myself, but it is kind of disturbing the way Leeds seems to have crashed so badly on the field in such a short time (dunno about off the field, because I don't follow soccer that closely).

Updated (http://incertus.blogspot.com)

The Razzies have been announced, and I have the winners! That is all.

I've updated a couple of times. I think it's probably becoming quite obvious by now what awful taste in music I have.

It's a rant on taxation.

Shamelessly ripped from Hatcham Woods' post in the Saddam Trial thread (http://www.livejournal.com/users/opened_eyes/128279.html?mode=reply)

Great post Logarchy, even if you ripped it from Hatcham Woods.

I've done my nightly update (http://incertus.blogspot.com) as well. On tap for tonight--oral sex as a defense in a manslaughter case, the apocalypse changes venues for the tour kickoff, and what happens when the Queen of England and a parrot tangle in a leather-strap cage match to the death with special referee Colonel Buck "Nobody Calls ME Yella" Robley. (And a cookie if you actually know who that last fellow is.)

I updated earlier today but the server was screwy so I couldn't let you folks in on it.

Metallica and Megadeth in "both crap!" shocker!

Updated my blog (http://vonbek.blogspot.com).

Very impressive article about script kiddies from Newsforge....

Updated my blog (http://vonbek.blogspot.com) with a link to a rather interesting article about President Bush's becoming a multimillionaire...

OK I am a dunce but I must ask what the $%%@ is a blogger?

Someone who's got a blog

Updated. (http://incertus.blogspot.com) Did you know that there's evidence te Catholic church may have endosed same-sex pairings in pre-modern Europe? I didn't either, but I blogged about it. Enjoy.

:shock: Linked in my own blog with credit in the topic line. I have some conservatives that read my livejournal that need to read that.

Why thank you. I think that's the first time I've been cross-linked. I feel so special now. :wink:

Yeah....its about time all pols get called to account...

I updated again earlier today--follow one of the above links if you're interested. I picked up an article about the ways corporations are trying to further affect the political process in the US, including the case of Pacific Lumber funding a recall petition against a DA because he had the audacity to do his job and charge them with actions they had committed openly.

I've updated also, on the important issue of judging band quality through live recordings...

http://depleted-uranium.blogspot.com/

More on corporate political influence. (http://incertus.blogspot.com)

As a side note, I'm on vacation in Florida right now, and have limited computer access, which is why I've been lax in taking Panhandlia and the other faux-conservatives to task for their more egregious misstatements. I'm sure my fellows will continue to take them to task. Keep up the good fight!

I've done it again. (http://incertus.blogspot.com) Go there if you want to find out how to vote in the AFA's latest poll.

Bumpity. No politics in tonight's update. It's all poetry, baby.

A mix of story fragments and a hearty dose of ranting pepper my last few updates. Hurrah!
www.rosarita.modblog.com

Two new posts (http://incertus.blogspot.com)--A very brief Starsky and Hutch review and a link to a story about a guy suspended from his job for daring to have a less than positive opinion of our Dear Leader--I mean President Bush.

Updated. (http://incertus.blogspot.com) If you're a supporter of the Democratic party and if you respected Howard Dean's message and the backbone transplant he gave the party last year, then come by and take a look. I've got a proposal for you.

Updated (http://incertus.blogspot.com) Stop by and read about what the President's campaign has the Department of Homeland Security busy doing.

This took some finding...

I just wanted to announce Depleted Uranium is going into hiatus. I don't know how long for, but I've found a new outlet for my reviews and ramblings at http://www.blastwave.org.uk/

I've actually posted (http://incertus.blogspot.com) a few times since my last update here, but my internet access is limited and you all know the stories with the server. Enjoy.

I blogged a minor league game from yesterday, have a very brief review of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," and one last note on the Richard Clarke situation.

The Supreme Court heard the famous "pledge of allegiance" case today. Go here (http://incertus.blogspot.com) to find out why Newdow will lose and why it won't have anything to do with the words "under God."

The Supreme Court heard the famous "pledge of allegiance" case today. Go here (http://incertus.blogspot.com) to find out why Newdow will lose and why it won't have anything to do with the words "under God."

You might be right about that. If the Court ruled against "under God," it would instantly become the most unpopular institution in the nation. Nobody in Congress will stand up for the Court, and many politicians will try to whip up popular anger over the issue. The Court has an easy out, and it would be wise to use it.

On the other hand, the Court did agree to take the case. I assume that it knew about the standing issue beforehand, and it granted cert anyway. Do you think it would have done this if it were just going to decide the case on a semi-technical ground? I'm not sure. (This probably isn't the thread for a full-blown discussion of it anyway.)

(This probably isn't the thread for a full-blown discussion of it anyway.)Maybe the thread will get more play as a result.

I think the Court took the case precisely because it knew it wouldn't have to rule on the validity of the words "under God." It gives the conservatives a chance to pontificate in a non-binding concurrent opinion and gives the liberals a fig leaf. The Supreme Court has a unwarranted reputation for wanting to decide important issues. Truth is they try to dodge them whenever possible. I guarantee you they're hoping a DOMA challenge doesn't pop up anytime soon, because that's a decision they can't run away from.

Hmm....good point. I guess that the Court had two options to avoid making a decision on the main issue. The first was to grant certiorari, and then decide on a technical ground. The other was just to leave the Ninth Circuit decision as is. The first option forces those who oppose "under God" to start from scratch, working their way up from the district court again. But the issue would have made it back to the Supreme Court eventually, without the convenient "standing" issue. The second option would probably leave the nation split on this issue. The Ninth Circuit would have its rule about "under God," and the rest of the country would have another rule (until lawsuits started popping up in other circuits). Given the choice, I suppose that the Court would prefer delay, instead of leaving the circuits divided and a major constitutional issue unresolved with no explanation.

I posted today on some research I dug up as a result of this thread. (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=134680&highlight=) It has to do with the testimony last week before the 9-11 commission about the USS Cole. Here it is. http://incertus.blogspot.com

Today's post (http://incertus.blogspot.com) is a short one with a link to a Daily Show film clip. I swear, if there's a better editorial team than the one on the Daily Show, I don't know what it is.

In today's installment (http://incertus.blogspot.com) we discover that when Democrats quote the Bible, it's bad, bad, bad. At least, if you're a Republican operative for a President who likes to do it himself. And if you're doing it in context and legitimately. And if I keep this up, you'll have no reason to go look at my blog. :lol:

The server has messed with me so badly that I've forgotten what I posted about. (http://incertus.blogspot.com) Something about Senate Democrats discovery of their testicles (regardless of sex), I believe.

Today's posting is a rant on the various ways in which the news media are a bunch of whores. Enjoy. (http://incertus.blogspot.com)

Resurrecting this thread one last time unless some of the other bloggers start posting here again as well.

Today's update (http://incertus.blogspot.com) has a little to do with Catholics and marijuana, with Fred Phelps and Moqtada Al Sadr, and if you scroll down a bit, you can read about baseball, spin, and find out which NY Times Op-Ed writer I am (and you can take the test yourself, too!).
