You lose 300 tons and what do you get? @ Radio Free Blogistan

Please allow me to aggrandize myself, but my Monkey Vortex cohorts have scripted and produced a two-minute playlet called Sympathy for the W.

I was given a cowriting credit but that overstates the case. That is me on lead vocals, though. I know, I know. Don't quit your day job. Cruel of you to say that to a freelancer.

Bitchy sells: Susan Mernit has an interesting theory about why there are so many more men than women in the lists of most linked-to blogs. Men are more willing, she says, to be opinionated and controversial: Guys rant on about politics, a topic the news junkies love. Women strive to be smart and... (Blogosphere)

Last post at blogs.salon.com: OK, let's try this again: Radio Free Blogistan has moved. The last entries posted to the old address are the ones you see here dated October 25, 2002. For current entries, please go to the new address: http://radiofreeblogistan.com/.... (Miscellany)

A fix attempt: Since fireweaver is squatting on the home page, I got through to radio.userland.com and set up ftp upstreaming to send that category to http://fireweaver.com/blog/. Posting this entry to the home page and fireweaver should get fireweaver pointed where it's supposed to be and will also I hope restore the integrity of... (Miscellany)

Still moving...: Well, the first attempt screwed up the upstreaming and one side effect is that "fireweaver" is rendering on the home page instead of in its category folder, which hides most recent posts. (Follow the metablog link at right to see recent blog-related posts.) Meanwhile, this is more or less a dummy... (Salon Bloggers)

Moving Day: If my upstreaming changes today work correctly, then this may be the final post to Radio Free Blogistan at the http://blogs.salon.com/0001111/ address, in which case, I want to make it very easy for any future readers directed here by old links (sorry, everybody!) to get to the new home page at...

Blogger back up: Ev says that any compromised data has been restored and that if you kept your FTP information at Blogger you may want to change your password now, although it is not clear whether that information was accessed. Anil Dash recommends changing your username as well.... (Weblog Concepts)

Remote (FTP) publishing with MT?: Are there plans in the works to ever give MT the ability to publish content via FTP (that is, not on the local site where MT is installed)? Or is it already possible, by defining the local site in the blog configuration using an ftp:// URL? Inquiring minds want to know... (Weblog Concepts)

Blogger hacked!: The BloggerDev mailing list is abuzz this morning with people complaining that their settings have been switched around by someone using the monicker hax0redbyme. The first symptoms showed up when users tried to manipulate their blogs and found their view site link within the Blogger application redirected to http://blogger.com/hax0redbyme/. A list...
