Being recognized for your efforts is a good thing. When freelance writer Dan LeRoy contacted me for an interview over a month ago, he didn’t know if National Review would buy his story. I’m glad they did.
The article netted an invitation to blog for Townhall.com and a radio interview (to be scheduled). And it prompted me to start working on the “My Writing” page, still a work in progress.
LeRoy’s article didn’t include all members of the Conservative Brotherhood. The group’s founder, Michael Bowen, issued a call back in May to us right-minded bloggers to join up. He came up with the name and the logo, and he put together and maintains the site. If I’d known that LeRoy wasn’t interviewing all of us, I would’ve told him that it was Cobb who spearheaded our efforts.
Other members of the group are: Michael King of Ramblings’ Journal, Samantha Pierce of Uncle Sam’s Cabin, Darmon Thornton of dcthornton.com and Scott Wickham of Blacks for Bush.
My marketing instinct took over yesterday, and I e-mailed a lot of people. The editor of BlackElectorate.com posted a link to the article under “Culture/Sports”, third entry from the top (as of this writing).
(On a side note, read this great response to the “Jesus Was A Liberal” post from Random Observations.)
Before I go, I want to ask liberal readers and commenters a few questions:
— Why do you read and comment on my blog?
— For those of you who comment every day, what’s the attraction?
— Do you spend as much time on the sites of people who share your views?
— Are you hoping to persuade, influence, educate or just contribute to the discussion?
I’ve commented on liberal blogs before, but I rarely went back for seconds. I really want to know why people who don’t like what I say or the way I say nevertheless visit my blog.
I’m curious.
Update: The Booker Rising bloggers have landed a radio interview as well.
