Cyberjournalist.net, Friday’s feed. I can’t believe it.

Scott Johnson of Feedster blogged a question related to some of the suggestions I’ve made to him regarding Feedster and some of the troubleshooting he did after I ran into some problems with NewsliBlog’s feed again. (Don’t worry: it’s fixed and the feed should be working.) I blogged a terribly long response elsewhere and commented [...]

This morning, the radio show The Connection aired a discussion about bloggers at the Democratic National Convention.
