[Andrew Bayer] So I’m scrolling down the Salon main page (just renewed my Premium subscription – and why haven’t you? Hmmm…?) when I see something a little different: Salon Blogs Scott Rosenberg Wall Street Journal’s $200,000-a-year spammerPlus: “Xtreme” blogging! [The Raven] Start your own blog | Recently updated blogs Ain’t that something — Scott’s come…

Kriselda Jarnsaxa writes: The latest “thing” here at the Salon blogs seems to be interesting Google searches that led to your site.  My favourite for today?  “pay scales for CIA“.  It does make me wondering – in most industries, you can look at how employees in comperable positions in competing companies are paid to determine…

When streams become full blogs, whose blogs are they? So here’s a question for you. As I mentioned previously, I am hoping to turn a channel of this blog into an editorial page for tuppenceworth.ie. If I get the time and teccy know-how together, I’ll make that channel look like the rest of tuppenceworth’s ugly…

Touching on Matt Drudge, Metafilter, Safire’s privacy alarum, the Orwellian “Illuminati Are Watching You” logo of DARPA, Kriselda, Andrew Bayer, Jan Haugland, Raven writes [W]e’re all digging deeper than the standard headlines and ferreting out Things of Exceptional Interest that Might Be Overlooked…. The perspectives expressed here are consistently far more insightful and relevant than…

Your Salon Blog Tour of Quality There’s an odd event to describe — it looked as though the Paulapalooza web site was destined for the dreaded Death Watch, when suddenly, yesterday, they received a multitude of traffic. But they only pulled up three ticks from the abyss, and two of those were mine. What’s up…

Your Salon Blog Tour of Quality ‘Tis a sad day’, as Marcus O’Riley would have said, at least he would’ve until we fired his sorry ass. It was not his insufferable rudeness that did him in, nor his propensity at mangling the English language. No, and let this be a lesson to all you young…

Out of courtesy I won’t name names, but I see one of our own found an interesting way to game the system a bit. First he posts a link to something elsewhere on his page, a “click here” item. Then he goes over to a couple of other high-traffic boards and posts the exact same…

Salon Blog Quality Tour for You.     –  Marcus O’Riley   And we’re back at the job of searching out the best bits from Salon’s Blogs for you. Some folks have written to say that Marcus is ignoring many of the best things on Salon, so it might be a good time to note that we try to stay…

Salon Blogs Quality Tour for You Doing me job well tonight, I think. The Barbaric Yawp. I just like saying the name. Everything That Sucks still doesn

Salon Blog Quality Tour for You.     –  Marcus O’Riley Okay, hi, this is Marcus, I begin somewhat sheepishly. Seems I had a bit too much of the devil’s Pepsi last night, and perhaps bad-mouthed some of the fine writers of the Salon Community a wee bit. Ya’should’na’blame’me. I was talking to Mister Hoback and he…

[Getting a little behind in Salon Blogs posts from Fried Green al-Qaeda, so forgive this quick catchup. Also, still trying to figure out an easy way to deal with formatting incompatabilities. More on that later in a separate post. –ed.]  Salon Blog Quality Tour for You *special KYA top 10 edition.  –  Marcus O’Riley Good god,…

When I visit other bloghosts, I notice that a lot of the pages have small graphical buttons, usually in the shape of a small post-it note, with the “logo” of the originating page on them. These are cute. At first. Then they get annoying. One thing about Salonblogs is that, being RadioUserland powered, most of…

Mark is inviting Salon blog writers to contribute to his online publication, The Occoquan Inquirer: Salon Blogs Community Solicitation   Dear Readers,         Over the past couple of weeks, you have probably seen discussion regarding the creation of a Salon Blogs Community, something beyond what currently exists by virtue of us sharing the same…

Bloody depressing day here in Salonville if you ask me, everybody all worked up about the election and such. Boohoohoo, the Democrats lost, and oh Dear Lord, what will that wily Bush character do now? Buck up people, and look at some of the entertaining things on Salon today. Standing Room Only has a lovely new…
