We have officially made the change to Wordpress which will allow us to do much more in terms of layout and useful tools.
If you encounter glitches along the way, please tweet me or send an email using the Contact link at the very top of the page.
I am pretty excited about this and hope you enjoy the new look. Many thanks to my wife Anne and Ms. LOLGOP who were largely responsible for this happening.
If you’ve reached this page, you’ll notice that we’re back to the blogspot URL. This will change soon as we migrate the blog to WordPress. I’m told it should be an easy transition and we’ll be able to bring all the posts and comments over. If you have any trouble in the next week or two, send me an email at eclectablog @ gmail dot com or a tweet.
The move will end the current email subscriptions so stay tuned on how you can sign up again after the switch.
It’s a bit nerve wracking to make the change but it will allow us to provide you with a better Eclectaexperience in the long run and we want to have the new site set up sooner rather than later as we move into the election season coming up.…
First, a big welcome to our many new Eclectablog fans. We’ve seen explosive growth of Eclectablog in the past couple of months. Last month we had nearly 65,000 unique visits and we are on track to break the 100,000/month milestone in March. We appreciate your visits and, more importantly, your comments and insights.
Tomorrow, starting at 5 p.m. ET, LOLGOP will be liveblogging the GOP Super Tuesday primary. If you haven’t enjoyed his liveblogging, you won’t want to miss this one.
One way to support Eclectablog is to put a “Like” on our Facebook page. We are less than 200 ‘Likes’ away from having 1,000.…
It is with great enthusiasm, pride and excitement that, for the first time since I started Eclectablog, I am bringing on another writer. And this isn’t just any writer. This is the genius behind the Twitter phenomenon LOLGOP.
LOLGOP delivers the most consistently incisive progressive political commentary ever crammed into 140 characters. When I interviewed him for A2Politico last summer (now behind a paywall, excerpted HERE), LOLGOP had about 7,000 followers. When Politico.com wrote a piece on LOLGOP in November, he had about 20,000. Today he has a shade under 40,000 Twitter followers.…
As I have been alluding to on site’s my Facebook page, I will have a major blog-related announcement tomorrow morning at 6:45 a.m. I will also be discussing it during my “appearance” on the First Shift with Tony Trupiano radio show at 8:35 a.m.
To answer some of the questions raised on my Facebook page:
Other than that, you’ll need to tune in tomorrow. The only hint that I will give you is that I am very excited about it!…
Just a quick note to let you know that we have landed on a final version of the new Eclectablog logo. This one is a vast improvement in a variety of ways. First, the lettering is bolder and more legible. We wanted to keep the font because it’s unique and characteristic. However, the font itself is not that “fat” so my wife worked her magic on it and viola!
Second, the first letter “C” is highlighted to help folks realize it’s “Eclectablog”, not “Electablog”.
Finally, it’s just eye candy to me.
Many thanks to Anne for her work on this. She’s not a graphic artist by trade but she sure makes it look like she is!…
My lovely wife is tinkering around with an awesome new logo. You may see it change a bit over the next few days.
Here are some current favorites:
We’re wide open to feedback so let us know what you think.
As we move into the new year, I want to take a moment to thank the many folks who have supported Eclectablog over the past year and to give you a look at what’s on the horizon for this blog and my writing, in general.
First, I must first begin with thanking my beautiful life partner and wife, Anne C. Savage (pictured there on the left). When people talk about “living the dream”, they are talking about my life with Anne. She is beautiful, smart, funny as shit and talented as all get out. If you haven’t seen her photography, stop reading right now and go have a look.…
I’ve gotten reports from some folks, including JM Ashby of Bob Cesca’s Awesome Blog! Go!, that some anti-virus programs are causing false positives. I have pulled all the third party ads of this morning so you shouldn’t encounter any more of them and this will likely speed the site up a bit, as well.
Please consider making a donation instead if you like what you read at Eclectablog. You can do that here:
Thanks! And have a terrific holiday.
- Chris
Howzabout a little Monday Morning Meta?
So, you may have noticed a couple of new ads on Eclectablog this past week. The first one over there on the left is for an Ann Arbor-area electrician, Dan Del Zoppo. Up there at the top is one for We Are The People Michigan. These two ads have something in common: they were purchased directly through me rather than a separate ad distribution company.
Why is this important? Well, first of all, it means that I get 100% of the revenue which is nice for me. But, better yet, these are ads that are targeted toward my audience.…
