I decided to play around with the looks of my blog this evening. I was getting tired of the "same old" so this is my stab at something new and refreshing. Comments welcome....
Every so often I come across a new blog which I think about bookmarking so I can check back on it.
One in particular that I have been paying quite a bit of attention to lately is called the "The Daily Kos". It is a liberal political blog and I have to say one of the most interesting. Alot of what is happening in Washington and in other political circles within the Bush administration is written about here.
www.dailykos.com
The above link should take anyone to the site if they want to poke around.
There is also a link on my side bar so one can click on it from there also.
I also linked to the "Milwaukee Journal Online Edition" web site on the side bar. That is usually the 1st site I go to every day for a good recap on the daily news of the world, the state, Milwaukee and sometimes there Racine section isnt all that bad either.
Then following the initial links are links to various political based blogs under the heading of the "Cheddarsphere". These links are thanks to another blogger who kindly posted his HTML Code for others to append to their sites. One of the blogs within this "sphere" is my boss's sister in law, (and one which I plan on digging into a little more in depth). She is a "leftie" as am I and I am looking forward to reading some of her views.
It is funny how Bob talks about her. He seems to have the highest regard for her and yet I know that his views and hers (and mine for that matter) are so far apart.....but yet I think Bob deep down is a bit of a liberal himself...shhhh...dont tell anyone!! Esp. Bob!!
Her site is called "Crawford's Take and the web address is:
www.crawfordstake.blogspot.com which like mentioned above is in the links on the left side of this page.
Another web site (though not a blog) talks about the "seedier" side of the news that some news outlets report on but that are so strange and sometimes "out of the mainstreem" that the articles are buried on 2nd and 3rd pages or at least they are not headlined until well after this site has gotten ahold of the stories.
It is called "Daily Rotten" and I have probably mentioned it before.
The web site for this little ditty is:
www.dailyrotten.com
Some of the articles can be pretty racy and at times morbid...but usually always entertaining. The best part of this site as far as I am concerned is the "comments" section where people post their thoughts on the stories. Some stupid comments and some real good ones also. The site is hit or miss but every day usually uncovers at least one or two offbeat articles. If nothing else, one can learn a little about history in the side bar on the left of the page....I have to figure out how to do that!!!!
More fine tuning to come in the next few weeks.
Thanks to my buddy Jason for also giving me a breif overview of how to goof with some of the HTML stuff behind the scenes.
That is about it for today.
