While Plan B was getting all the Slashdotting and the Scott Rosenberg shout-outs, Mark Hoback was quietly writing his entire novel, Green, at his Salon blog.
So what do you do with a blog novel blog when you've finished writing the novel? Apparently you change the name of your blog to something more eye catching and start having some wicked fun with the medium.

Kevin Holtsberry, who runs the popular Addicted to Blooks blogs, has "decided that it is too much of a pain in the butt to have three blogs." He is combining his several blogs into his main weblog, Ideas, etc.
I hear that. As someone who spawns new blogs at the drop of a hat, my urge to recombine them into some superstructure that can be managed all from one interface grows stronger all the time.
Kevin will be using teasers and categories to help people navigate through his single aggregated blog to the specific content they are intereste din.
Meanwhile, you can help him out by updating your links to http://www.kevinholtsberry.com/blog.html (though he might want to consider announcing the URL of the category archive page for his Addicted to Books category so that people who used to link to AtB can point there instead).
Speaking of help announcing a move, if you'd like to help me disseminate the new address of RFB, please consider posting a link in your blog informing your readers that our new address is http://radiofreeblogistan.com/ and that the address of our RSS feed is now http://radiofreeblogistan.com/rss.xml.
I just noticed that BlogHog and probably Nuzee too haven't made the transition over yet, so I probably need to notify their managers. I may have to talk to my highest-traffic referrers as well to make sure they are sending their readers to the right place.
Rarely a day goes by when I don't get visitors from the Shifted Librarian's "Sites I Read in My Aggregator" page, for example.
e to loyal readers of this site, I appologize but I think it will work out best.

In their monthly newsletter, thet pMachine folks announce a new hosting service for pMachine users (naturally, http://pmachinehosting.com/), and has this to say about one of the upcoming blog books:
There is a new book on blogging called "Blog On" (McGraw/Hill) that features pMachine extensively. The book was written by our good friend Todd Stauffer (author of over 20 technical books). I served as Technical Editor of the book which gave me a double thrill: Working on a book, and having the book talk about my software!I'd be interested in seeing the installed-base figured for pMachine, which seems like strong competitor in the Movable Type niche. It even has the ability to manage a remote site via FTP, something I'm starting to see as the biggest missing feature in MT currently.
