Poll question: Dou you have a blog?
I'm guessing a lot of DU people maintain a blog and would love to visit yours. Feel free to include a link in your reply.

1. I find blogging inferior.

Much better to publish works as individual documents.

8. Thanks, I hadn't read about that.
I do what I call a reality check online. Just update it every few weeks and give the bushco's some hell. Makes me feel better ;)

DU Journals. This is a big upgrade, and it is something we are almost certain we want to do. The idea is to give each of you your own dedicated "Journal" where you can showcase your best postings. We see it as basically a blending of the discussion forum format and the blog format. At your discretion, messages could be cross-posted on the discussion forum and your journal. If there is a member whose postings you find particularly interesting, you can easily keep track of what they post by going to that person's journal. Our hope is that the best journals would collect recommendations and build a reliable following of readers, which would give that "journalist" an incentive to continue to create quality content. We see this as a win-win for the individual and the community. The community gets a new way to experience DU and interesting content to read, the individual has the chance to attract readers from Democratic Underground's ready-made audience of tens of thousands of daily visitors.

15. Yep...though it's incomplete...
The site is more than just a blog, it's actually intednded to be an online portfolio of my art and design work (once I get it finished), but I've got a blog set up on the main page, for site updates and political ranting.

http://subversive.trackiepro.com

I'm still working out a few kinks and whatnot, but it's there in its basic form.
