Soccer Dad

Administrivia

In the left column, above the calendar there's an icon that says "Feedblitz." I learned about it from Crossing the Rubicon2. If you click on it you can subscribe to Soccer Dad. Every day that I post you'll get links to my latest entries with brief synopses of each one.

A matter of pride: Soccer Dad has been named an "essential link" by Honest Reporting. Along with a number of better known blogs and blogging friend It's Almost Supernatural, it was very nice to be recognized by this fine organization.

I recently dug up an old e-mail exchange. (From 4 years ago!) I asked my correspondent:

Pardon a personal question but what is a blogger? Several times a week I send out links to articles about Israel, sometimes with comments. Does that make me a blogger?

The response:

A blogger is someone who has a website that is updated frequently, often daily, more often several times a day. You're doing very much what bloggers do, but people can't refer to your page or read the archives because you use email instead of a web page.

So you're an email blogger, I guess. ;-)

The real blogger was Meryl Yourish. With that encouragement, sometime about 9 months later I really did start blogging. That fills in a detail of my blogging history.
