Ever since joining the v2020 list I've been impressed by both the
content and quantity of some of the members. I have not posted much
lately due to the fact that the ongoing debates have been provincial
and I'm an ex-pat who's opinion about such matters is irrelevant to
Moscow voters. It's still interesting.<br>
<br>
Here in Montana I can find no such list group that compares to V2020,
but we do have a very active blogging community. Matt Singer, a
colleague of Joan's and mine at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://newwest.net">http://newwest.net</a> is beginning to
compile a kind of "best of the week" of Montana bloggers. It's good,
it's fun and (the best part) it's free.<br>
It includes everything form poetry to politics to the foibles of
living. You can find it at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://leftinthewest.com/index.php?p=574">http://leftinthewest.com/index.php?p=574</a> .<br>
<br>
If anyone is interested in becoming a blogger there is a <b>free </b>blog
site at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.blogspot.com">http://www.blogspot.com</a>. Blogging software is 1/100th the
work of writing HTML code, so sties like Tom Hansen's may really
benefit from changing formats. If anyone is interested in more
sophisticated blogging software, I've done the research and would
gladly share it with anyone who's interested off list. Just drop me a
line.<br>
