Jimmie Bise, proprietor of The Sundries Shack, has reemerged on the scene without any fanfare–exactly the kind of classy return that I’d expect from one of my favorite bloggers.
His writing is great and his podcast might even be better. Show his blog some love this week, by linking to one of his posts, downloading [...]

My carpool and I are heading to Pittsburgh this afternoon for the second annual RightOnline conference. Sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, it’s a collection of speakers, workshops and panels designed to advance the Right online, geared for novice and advanced levels of online activists.

When ProBlogger launched their 31 Days to a Better Blog series earlier this year, I jumped at the chance to participate.
