Blog for Iowa's New Running Conversation!

 Blog for Iowa’s New Running Conversation!
Several
people have expressed an interest in being able to have a running
conversation on Blog for Iowa. It seems feasible now that we
actually have quite a few people who are interested in posting!
So, I’d like to re-introduce our “new” feature called Open Threads.
Blog for Iowa will keep an open thread up and running in a prominent
position – top, left sidebar of the blog. This way, people can
post in the open thread and a real back-and-forth can take place.
How to Post a Comment on Blog for Iowa
In order
to post a comment on Blog for Iowa, you need to first create a reader
account. Go to the Log In component on the left sidebar, and
click on Create Reader Account. Then, once you’ve confirmed your
email address, you need to Log In on the main page of BFIA (left sidebar). THEN
you’ll be able to post a comment.
The
usernames have to be one word - no spaces, all lower case. But you can
choose a nickname which will be displayed when you post a comment, and
the nickname can include spaces, like My Full Name.
We will
not harvest your information after you create a reader account.
You are actually creating a reader account for the entire BlogHarbor
system, our host company, and we have no access to the list.
This post will now be at the top of the Open Threads category, so in order to post in the Open Thread, comment on this post.
Of course, you are still welcome to comment on other posts. You can use the same procedure mentioned above.
So, speak up! We’d love to hear from you!

Blog for Iowa is 11 Months Old!

Blog for Iowa is 11 Months Old!
Well,
it’s time for an ol’ Blog for Iowa update. Why wait until April
1st, our one-year anniversary, when we just had our biggest month
ever? In February, we averaged 1200 distinct hosts served per day
– that means individual readers or, actually, individual computers
hitting our site. We also averaged 2050 page views per day in
February, for our biggest month ever in page views – 57,446!
Yes, dear readers, February 2005 is Blog for Iowa’s Babe Ruth!
Ever after, any other month that beats February will have an asterisk
behind its name, indicating that the record was broken in a month with EXTRA DAYS.
And
speaking of Roger Maris ;-) , if it is really necessary after all this time
to keep an asterisk after his name in the record books, then I would
like to suggest one other amendment to the record books. I’m
thinking that if a record such as Maris’ must carry an asterisk because
he broke the Babe’s 1927 homerun record in a season, 1961, that had three extra
playing days, then we should gladly add an ASS
behind the name of every homerun record breaker since (and including)
Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. The ASS, of course, would stand for
Anabolic Steroid Suspect. Hey, fair is fair. But I digress.
. . .
My thanks to the blog team, without whom this site would not be up and running for you to read.
