Short post today
So I have spent the day working on a post for the Daily Kos about Taylor and not only his DAV voting record that I talked about yesterday, but also about some Mountain Top Removal (MTR) lobbying efforts that happened in DC last week and how it was met by Taylor & Co. I will give you a hint, it was not all that productive. Here is the Daily Kos post.
I also spent the day trying to figure out how I want to do this whole blog thing. I like having my own space here to write whatever I want, as much as I want. I would eventually like to my own "independent" blog that deals with all the issues (politics, issues, environment, spirituality) that I want too. It seems to me that the best way to drive up traffic is to post on well established communities, have my own personal blog listed, and try and increase traffic that way. I am not sure though. But what I have decided is that I am only going to participate (actively) in three groups out side of the LJ community. These would be Daily Kos, Street Prophets (which is a spin off of Daily Kos), and BlueNC (which is dedicated to just NC issues). Of course, some of the other big ones, like My DD etc, I will monitor so that I can list and respond to things that are said there.
As I stated in my Daily Kos posting from today, MTR is one of the big issues that I am going to focus on I think. I am beginning to see more and more that it is a huge problem that needs to be dealt with sooner rather than later.
'till later y'all
