Ponderings on the fate of the Murmur
My little intro page to the blog here tells me it's been 69 days since my last entry. No excuses but plenty of reasons.
First of all, I am enjoying how the overall debate is going in spite of my absence. Even though sausage making can sometimes be unsightly the overall direction of the argument is leaning right and, at the risk of dislocating my shoulder from patting myself on the back, many of my predictions are coming true. Saying I told you so gets a little tedious after awhile.
Secondly, others, a bevy of Doctors, Hansen, Sowell, Krauthammer, and Zero, to be exact are all saying most everything I can say except better and more consistently.
So I while I have been ignoring the actual log part of the blog I have been giving some thought on how to upgrade the web part in a way that keeps it interesting to me and both my readers, as opposed to both my readers and me.
That said it I have been lovingly admonished to just keep writing so I will endeavor to increase that for it's own sake. God musicians, and I have the privilege of having some close friends who surpass that description and then some, do not improve by keeping their instruments in the case. I expect the same is true for writers.
Third, the writing takes away time otherwise used for income generation. Growing kids eat more and there are three college tutitions in the not too distant fuiture. Ideally the aforementioned upgrades will involve a series of monetization options in the hopes that I could at least pay for site upkeep and hopefully at least some of the lost time. I guess getting the tip jar fixed would be a good place to start.
Anyway some changes are in store here at the murmur. First thoughts are to, at the very least, link to the good Doctors offerings with comment and or refutations on a more consistent basis. Another idea would be to disable the comment section ala Instapundit, or a register the the comment section like Hot Air. I also have to start a blogroll, link to facebook, get some advertisers etc etc.
So there you have it dear readers. The state of the blog address 2010.
Please feel free to opine on upgrade ideas while the comment thread is still open. Just remember what Grandma used to say, if if don't have anything nice to say - - shut the fuck up, or something like that...
Tomorrow: a word on GOOOH aka, get out of our house.
Thanks for stopping by.
