Blogger has been limping along for quite a while. They promised us, the last big crash, all was well and they had new systems.
Well, these systems failed hugely in the last three days leaving my news service in tatters, fouling up the postings and in general, making life impossible. So I decided to move over to "pay for" service which means I can communicate with someone when something happens. Blogger didn't even have the decency to inform us what was going on when the system crashed this last three times.
I am sorry about forcing regular readers to change URLs and do all the annoying updating but I hope this is the last time this news service has to pack the bags and move. There will be some instability here until I and my progeny rearrange the cyber furniture to fit my particular style and needs so in advance, I'm sorry for any inconvenience or difficulties.
Since this site isn't free like Blogger, I have added a "Tip Jar" for anyone interested in making donations. Everyone on line is looking for this. My overhead is under $25 a month, the time I spend posting and doing art is a whole different subject. My ability to produce swift artwork has vastly improved while posting this news service during the last year. Anyone interested in commissioning cartoons can contact me at [email protected].
I hope this will be a much better blog when I am done. I have some ideas as to how to build it. And any suggestions, criticisms, wittisisms or whateversisms readers want to inflict on me, go right ahead and unload on me!
Just don't mistake me for a quail! Heh!
Thank you, everyone,
the Editor and Artist, Culture of Life News
And here we are! Good morning - how are things in upstate NY? Still teetering on the brink of ruin, I'll bet... no reason the worldview should change with the blogging servioce, is there?

I'm another one you won't easily get rid of, Elaine. Although I've not commented for a while, I have been reading, and I have to say that everything here so nice & bright and crispy clean & tidy. Like my desk does after I've given it one of my periodic 'blitzcleans'. Heh, I just hope that here never gets as messy as my desk does.
Oh, and I'm so glad to see you using Trebuchet font -- it's my favourite. I find it the most pleasing to look at and the easiest to read.
Good luck with this new place - and keep on kicking ass.

I do not envy thee the work ...
Good idea, though.
'Will keep checking back.

We're with you, Elaine, ideosyncratic spelling and all. Love you!

Spill or spell or just plain messed up, Smith? Heh.
There are a zillion things to do here so there is going to be a pause in the posting, have to set up and then co-ordinate eight web sites! Yikes. A very big job but each one is easier than the previous one. I am only occassionally barking my shins and cussing as I figure out this website.

Elaine,
I read your blog every day and if you zig zag, I am zigging and zagging right behind you.
I love to read your well thought out stuff.

If you notice any instability in the appearance of this site it is all due to Hurricane Katrina. :)
Actually, when I was tinkering with a sub page, I accidently blew out all the programming for the opening page and had a heck of a time figuring out how to do the subpages without destroying the head page.
Gah. Every site works differently, don't they :(

Congratulations on your move! I've been using typepad for phidoux.com for about a year now and they're awesome. I can only remember one instance of the system being down. Your site rocks - and now that I know you do all of the art work yourself I'm totally impressed. Rock on!

Phidoux? I will look it up. Seriously, I love to visit reader's own websites. There are so many out there, so many people doing really nice stuff.
This has been a steep learning process. Figuring out things is hard when I am juggling so many elements. I feel like those Chinese jugglers spinning dishes on top of sticks.

Glad to see you moving over to join us in the TypePad family.. Like Jeff, I've had nothing but good luck with TypePad, and look forward to seeing you push the limits on artistic design within TypePad -- so I can borrow your innovative ideas.. Keep up the good works.. dave.
PS. I gave a nod to two of your latest financial news posts on my Econ Dreams - Econ Nightmares site today.

Elaine,
I'm happy to see you have the new blogsite set up and hope things work out well for you. I tend to disagree with you on many subjects (oh, so many subjects) but do appreciate your passion and commitment to your site. You spend a great deal of time on it, and if more people were as dedicated as you, and were as involved in the politics of their country, the world could not help but be a better place. I try not to make any personal attacks when commenting on the opinions I see on blogs but have crossed the line with a couple of comments I made on your site. As Voltaire said " I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
Please accept my apology and best wishes for the continuation of your new blogsite.
