Mt. Pleasant Blog Takes Off After 15 Posts
That’s how you make a splash, folks. I want to congratulate Courtney and Kate for starting Climbing the Mount, a brand new blog covering the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of DC. After barely a dozen posts, their blog got picked up by DCist last night. They tell me the 5pm post sent more than 600 visitors in 6 hours.
Let that be a lesson – find a niche, stick to it, and you’ll find fame, wealth, and success as a blogger. Mine the wealth, and only relative fame. But, you know. Internet!

Daily Kos: YK07: LiveBlogging Edwards’ Session: My diary live-blogging John Edwards’ Yearly Kos breakout session went over well at Daily Kos. I got 39 comments and 21 recommendations, and there was some good discussion among my readers
Part III: Liveblogging the Edwards Breakout session
I am in room 404, surrounded by fervent Edwards supporters waiting for their candidate to come in. There’s a small stage in the back of the room with three rows of seats, and the rest of the chairs are centered on a small circle, in which I presume Edwards will be speaking.
Liveblogging the Presidential Forum
I’m in the Grand Ballroom and the Yearly Kos Presidential Forum just started. Senator Gravel, Gov. Richardson, Sen. Dodd, Sen. Clinton, Sen. Edwards, Sen. Obama, and Rep. Kucinich walked into thunderous applause, though the two biggest rumbles were for Edwards and Obama.
Matt Bai of the New York Times is moderating the forum, with mcjoan of Daily Kos and Jeffrey Feldman of Frameshop are asking questions of the candidates. Bai recognized that Barack Obama is the birthday boy on the panel, and the room gave him a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday.”
Blogging it up at Yearly Kos
I’m at the Yearly Kos Convention in Chicago. It’s a gathering of about 1500-2000 people from “The Internet.” It’s interesting to see what the Internet looks like, and it’s also great to finally have real faces to put next to names of people whose writing I read every day. Also, I feel as though people on the Internet are more likely to have full-on facial hair than people in the real world.
