Chris Nolan's 'Spot-On'

Christian Crumlish

I meant to blog about this as soon as I heard, but better late than never. Chris Nolan has rebranded and relaunched her journalistic group weblog (time to update those RSS feeds...). It's now called Spot-On. The new design is polished and handles the ads much more gracefully.

Chris Nolan is the site's editor (and still the lead columnist) and the contributing staff has been expanded to include Josh ("Tacitus") Trevino (who'd already been contributing to ChrisNolan.net - the original Chris Nolan blog), also reporting from San Francisco; Christopher Brauchli, reporting from Boulder; and Deborah Klosky, reporting from San Diego.

A media empire is born.

Inline trackbacks better than pop-ups: Responding to Andrew "I hate blogs and obsess about little else" Orlowski's latest screed at the Register, which blamed Six Apart for ruining Google by inventing Trackback, Mena writes in Six Log that it's a better practice to include trackbacks (and comments) on the same page as the weblog entry they...

Come on in, the water's fine.: added a new link to my masthead/sidebar area today. It's called Today's Referrers and its an ordinary link to the page showing RFB's referrer stats for the day.

Plutocrats not conservative? I'm shocked, shocked!: Right fringe notices that Republicans are not conservative. Kevin Tuma hates FDR and Lincoln, favoring Goldwater and Reagan. What's interesting about this article is that he voices the "dirty little secret" of the Republican party. It is not now and has never been a conservative party, especially not in the sense... ()
