Quittin’ Time

March 23, 2005

Update (3/24): This decision is a little scary. I thought I should mention that. —————————————————————————— I may as well let this cat out of the bag. I’m working part time at my day job now, transitioning to no day job. I decided to give full time freelance writing and speaking another try. The first time [...]

The Importance of Linking

March 8, 2005

A writer at the American Prospect briefly mentioned me in her tirade against conservative bloggers. I was less concerned about what she said and more about the fact she didn’t link to my blog. After I e-mailed her, pointing out the oversight, she rectified the matter. I encouraged her to write about me as often [...]

I Made Wikipedia

February 19, 2005

I knew I’d end up in Wikipedia one day. Unbelievable. And they spelled my name wrong. And they called me “African American,” which I’m not. I’m an American. Well, since it’s “open source,” I suppose I can make changes I don’t like. Strange to show up there, though. Unrelated Update (8:08 p.m.): If you’re not [...]

Me, My, Mine, Etc.

February 1, 2005

Indulge me for a moment while I wax self-centeredly. I want to be more than just a “black conservative blogger/writer” or a “Christian blogger/writer.” If I must be either or both (it’s human nature to attach labels), I want to be huge, the biggest black conservative blogger in the blogosphere or the most popular Christian [...]

Dreaming Of Waterfalls

January 13, 2005

I’m going to try to resist the urge to blog for the next three days. I need some rest, relaxation and time away from this site, although I have a nagging feeling I’ll miss the next big blogging thing. But as you surfers know, there’s always the next wave. I’m putting the final tweaks on [...]

Resolutions For A New Year

January 5, 2005

Who actually keeps New Year’s Resolutions anyway? Not many, I suspect, but it’s always worth the effort to be better people and do good things, isn’t it? My 2005 Resolutions: 1. First and foremost, to grow in grace and be a woman after God’s own heart. King David was a man devoted to God. Although [...]

Christian Journalist

December 20, 2004

Update III (6:09 p.m.): Based on the some of the comments I’ve seen on other blogs regarding the NRO piece, I want to briefly explain my criteria for picking the selected bloggers. My targets were sites with less than 5,000 unique visitors per day (at the time) and recognizable to most readers following Rathergate. That [...]

Commenting: Pros and Cons

December 15, 2004

A new year means a new blog design. In January I’ll be upgrading to the latest WordPress version and creating a different look for the blog. I’m partial to a three-column layout so I can run ads and post more information in the sidebar. The new blog may also be re-tooled. I’m seriously considering doing [...]

VOTE FOR ME!!! And Other Topics

December 8, 2004

Update III (12/10): Welcome to my blog, foul-mouthed discussion board groupies! Anonymity has its perks, doesn’t it? You can say whatever you want while hiding behind a screen name. I don’t have that luxury. I’m out here in the open expounding upon and defending my views. You should try it sometime. Update IV (12/11): To [...]

The PBS Incident

November 30, 2004

I’m a member of a loose group of black conservatives called Project 21. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was looking for an assistant (I can’t remember the title of the position) in the history programming department. I’d written a number of history-related op-eds, so someone at Project 21 passed along my name. I was contacted [...]

Aaron’s Blogopoly Board And The Commissar’s Map

November 30, 2004

This is my piece on Aaron the Liberal Slayer’s Blogopoly board. Check out his latest Blogopoly pieces. He writes: With the pressure off, I guess my creative muse returned and I’ve developed another couple dozen Blogopoly pieces, and I’ll be releasing them over the next few days. Do you deserve Blogopolization? How can you POSSIBLY [...]

Comment Moderation Is In Effect

November 17, 2004

In an effort to maintain even more queen-like control over this blog, comment moderation will be in effect 24-7 until further notice. There will be a brief (hopefully) delay before your comment is posted. While today’s commenters have been fairly civil, a few trolls have tried to post (a daily occurrence). For your edification, please [...]

Happy Blogiversary To Me!!!

November 5, 2004

I didn’t hype my pending blogiversary because I didn’t know whether I’d be celebrating it and George Bush’s re-election or commiserating with you over John Kerry’s victory. Now I can celebrate! One year ago today, I started blogging on Blogger (Blog*Spot). This was my first post. By the time I’d heard of something called a [...]

When Bloggers Attack

October 26, 2004

This morning I wondered what I’d blog about. Before I read the news I always check the blog first to delete the inevitable troll trackbacks and comments. On my first day back from hiatus, I’ve had to delete quite a few. But the contention has reached a new level. A few black liberal bloggers who [...]
