Site Update

As you can see (hopefully!), I've done some housecleaning and stuff. The sidebars have both been pretty heavily edited. And by edited I mean to say that I moved a ton of things around and deleted a few dead links.

The blogroll has been totally reorganized into sections. I would very much like feedback on that, especially if you think there are Oregon or Washington blogs not listed but which you think deserve to be. Some of the listed blogs date back to the early days of PK and I don't read them much any more. But those that survived the editing did so either because they are consistently well written blogs (hey, I can't read all of 'em every day!) or have a significant place in PK's history. For example, The Disenfranchised Voter hasn't been updated in almost a year. But he's the guy who wrote that letter to McCain that I posted last week and he was a huge supporter of PK when we were first getting started. Others like Lance Mannion are superbly written - really! - but I just don't read any more.

You'll hopefully have noticed that I put up a brief "favorites" blogroll under each writer's email in the Bio section of the lefthand sidebar. Hopefully that is self-explanitory. If not... perhaps this isn't the blog for you. I also finally got Mac's stuff up there (sorry, Mac!). However I'm experiencing difficulty accessing the Bio page which is separate from the blog, so I still haven't gotten Mac's bio put up. But hopefully that will be taken care of soon.

I also tried to balance the two sidebars so that they're roughly equal lengths. Oh, and I revived the Herman Goering quote... which is timeless in it's relevance. I'd taken it down in a previous reoganization but I'm glad I hadn't deleted it entirely because it came in handy today.

Last but not least I added a new Haloscan widget - the star ratings. I'm iffy on them, to be honest. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But lots of crack-pot ideas seem good at the time... So I would very much like some feedback on whether to keep them or not.

Okay... back to your regularly scheduled programming.
