First, Nick Schweitzer has proposed and is launching a Carnival of the Badger. More details at The World According to Nick. If you've never participated in a blog carnival before, basically you select a blog posting that fits the theme of the carnival and the host of the carnival gathers the links together on his/her site. I'm doing a poor job of explaining it but it's a great way to expose your blog to other people. The first Carnival of the Badger will appear August 18th, and then the Library & Pub will host it August 25th. The deadline for submissions will be around 7pm the Wednesday before. Anyone interested in hosting the carnival should contact Nick (schweitn-at-gmail-dot-com).
Next, and I have to laugh at this, but wisopinion.com/wispolitics.com has decided to add me to the blogroll. You can stop sending them nasty e-mails (if anyone did). I got a note from Mike Schramm after the blog posting I did regarding their mishandling of the Finley announcement telling me I was added to their blogroll. That was not my intent, but we'll take this as evidence that at least one journalist isn't thin-skinned.
I separated out most of the Wisconsin blogs on my blogroll, but a few blogs I wasn't able to because Bloglines couldn't find the rss feed. That includes Charlie Sykes, which I'll take as an indicator of how well Journal Communications is doing these days.
I'm working on a project for that donation button you see to the left. However, it does work and it does take donations right now. Maybe a few html lessons...
In the meantime, if you don't feel like making a donation, then buy stuff at Wiggy's Warehouse. Lotsa stuff. Buying stuff will make you feel good. There's even NASCAR stuff. Of course, if you have too much stuff, Wiggy's Warehouse can help with that, too.
