The Free View - weblog of a presidential candidate

I've been working on a bunch of different things recently-- not the least of which has been trying to reconstruct a viable home page for this site, after my blog setup crashed on me and wouldn't allow me to post new entries, almost a month ago now.

The second week of December was tech madness week here-- just as I had cracked the egg on launching BillofRightsDay.com, two of my sites had huge problems. PeoplesForum.com became unavailable all of the sudden, kicking off over a week of messiness while we tried to straighten out that problem. (You can read all about it at PF's downtime message site PFisdown.com.) At virtually the same time, this here site had its crasheroo-- kicking off a month of variably sketchy band-aid solutions while I tried to steer toward a better direction.

During that same week, I was launching the Boot Boortz Blog, which I haven't even mentioned here yet, because I wanted to give it a proper intro. I'm not giving it that right now, but it needs to be at least mentioned, because it's on the front page now. (You can read my first brief explanation of it over there.)

Which gets me back on track in terms of this entry, because it's the new front page of Freedom2008.com that this entry is about. You'll see that there is a new feature on the home page, and I couldn't be much more excited about it than I am, despite its relative simplicity. I've got what are called "feeds" showing from 8 of the sites or blogs that I'm involved with-- currently, the following are listed:

-The Little Brown Reader
-PNAC.info
-CampusLP.org
-E-Actions for Freedom
-NCLP News and Views
-Nevada County Bill of Rights Defense Committee
-BillofRightsDay.com
-Boot Boortz Blog

That leaves GreenLiberty.org, Future Solutions, and StopCarnivore.org unlisted-- because right now none of those sites aren't set up to be "syndicated", which is the term for when bits of one site are fed onto another.

It should go without saying that having my wider network on active display will present a much stronger front to new visitors who happen upon the home page. And if it doesn't go without saying, then consider it said.

I've got a lot of little items to post, so more's on the way.
