Ok, well it’s the 5th of July now, but happy 4th anyway. I won’t lie and say I’m still working on the site. Not that it’s done, just that I haven’t been working on it for the past few months. I’ve just been too busy. Surgery + grad school + day job + BFM Media = no time for this site. Haven’t even been on the forums much. I do have a few new things i...

Had to change the theme a little bit, and I don’t have the feed fixed yet. Good times. But what the heck, it’s construction season. Hope to be done by Monday. ...

Hi folks, I’m upgrading the software and customizing a new theme. If the place looks a little weird, you’ve probably caught me in the middle of it. I hope to have it done in the next few days. Thanks for stopping by! ...

Update: ok, the RSS isn’t working at all. I have a friend who is going to take a look at it for me this week. So by Friday it should be fixed. ::fingers crossed:: I am just testing my RSS with this post. ...

Ugh. Site was down for a few hours. I upgraded & had some problems. Seems to be ok now. Now I’m off to catch up on all the other things I neglected this afternoon. ...

Hey everyone, meet my boss. Between work, golf, & golf, he doesn’t have a lot of spare time. That’s why I think it’s so awesome that he spends it on supporting his favorite causes. MDA serves people in our community with neuromuscular disease by providing clinics, support groups, assistance with the purchase and repair of wheelchairs, braces and communication devices, and...

This is not the fault of BFM, this is an ongoing Soapblox issue. Average downtime is 6.5 hours. ...

Alright this is starting to make me mad. We’re paying for an advertising campaign to send traffic to the site, and we have ads on the site. BFM is losing readers and revenue. Last time BFM was down for nearly 8 hours. I don’t know what the problem is today but hopefully it will be fixed on EDT. Maybe we could get moved to a more reliable server. ...

hopefully my moblogging set up still works. Traffic is at a dead stop on west 69 Near wilder rd Many emergency vehicles have passed us But still no Police. i am Sure traffic is very backed up as we have been sitting here 30 Minutes already. people are out of their cars walking around. avoid the area if you Can and it would be great if You could send police to direct traffic and get us Goi...

I was just chatting with Chetly on another post and it occurred to me that I haven’t been here to cbdc in some time. Part of my problem is seasonal … I’m always busier during the summer than any other time of year. Part of it is that I have a ton of yard work that I do, but it’s primarily because of the work that I do, and the fact that my workload increases so much at t...

Note: This piece was submitted by guest author Stephen Crockett, host of Democratic Talk Radio. Corporate Media pundits and sell-out Democratic personalities are denouncing a return to the Fairness Doctrine standards in broadcasting eliminated by the Reagan Administration. They are falling into a trap set by the Republican Right and the largest corporations in America. Essentially, they are letti...

At 6:10am the Soapblox server that BFM is on went offline. I don’t know why this happened, but it appears that all Soapblox sites on this IP are down. Sorry about that … hopefully it will be back up before anyone even reads this. ...

Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been working with ‘Z’ over at BFM. We recently moved the site from the WordPress platform to Soapblox. As a result there may be some technical issues to work out. If you subscribed via RSS you may have to update your feedreader. (http://bloggingformichigan.com/feed). We may also lose our regular spot in the google blog alerts … &#...

It’s It was Wizard’s b-day. Yesterday. I missed it. Wizard is the best blogger when it comes to state level issues. No other blogger can find the facts, weave them together, and put them out there in such an entertaining and insightful way. She’s also one of the very (very!) few who aren’t afraid to call out the Democrats when she thinks they are wrong. Thanks for ma...

Note: This piece was submitted by guest author Stephen Crockett, host of Democratic Talk Radio. The sudden rise of Fred Thompson as a leading Republican candidate for President shows that the Republican leadership still does not understand their impending implosion as a national political party. Thompson is a “sex-up” version of a failed product. With Thompson, voters are getting th...

Just a note on a new blog, http://bloggingformichigan.com/. ...

Lyrics from Dan’s song, “Sleeping In” Last week I had the strangest dream where everything was exactly as it seemed there was never any mystery of who shot John F Kennedy It was just a man with something to prove slightly bored and severely confused he steadied his rifle with his target in the center and became famous that day in November Don’t wake me, I plan on sleepin...

Just popping in to plug The Dullest Blog In The World, as an example of how concept can be a good substitute for content … Standing in the middle of the room I was standing at a central point in the room. The walls were all at approximately the same distance from me. I continued to stand there for a few moments. Too much. ...
