“‘I usually work alone…’”
What’s the point? Why bother?
I have a number of reasons: The boys have been muttering about it here and there, and I want a place where I can talk about real estate. That much was a problem, since our antiquated theme (installed with version 1.19 of WordPress) had lost its editing power with recent software upgrades.
Even more important is this: We can’t rely on social media. I am at this moment banned from Twitter, for weeks now, for praising Forest Whitaker as an actor. I wish I were making that up. My sad experience with every sort of content-contribution site is that eventually I get thrown off the island, with all of my contributions deleted. To hell with that…
So in with the new, by way of the Hoffman theme. No Odysseus picture for the header, yet, because I’m not sure I’m done. I grew very fond of the block editor on LinkedIn, and I want it with this upgrade – and I have not yet worked out how to get it. We’re working from the “classic” editor for now, which is adequate but not ideal. But we are working, or we are at least fully-functional and ready to work.
If you had posting privileges on BloodhoundBlog, you still do. Log in from this link, and reset your password if necessary. Write what you want. Write what you honestly believe. Above all, write about the ideas that might get you banned or shunned elsewhere. That would be my plan, anyway.
I had BHB stats yesterday, for the first time in years, and this post popped up, to my thinking a choice expression of what BloodhoundBlog does best: Dancing joyously while holding up a mirror to hypocrisy. Don’t even get me started on “Gin and Juice.”
So: Link, promote, subscribe. We can have a conversation away from the censorship of Big Tech, but we have to meet up to do it.

wowza… a blast from the past.
I think I’m looking forward to following along. Again.
Who knows, we may see some old and still familiar faces.
You know, because blogging is dead, right?

Very nice to see you. For outbound broadcasting, leaving permanently searchable footprints, blogging is everyman’s direct access to the freedom of the press. A sustained conversation is a harder thing to manage, and I think now that we were foolish to let it go here. We’ll see how that comes back to life. My thanks to you for getting the ball rolling.
