A Quick Update For TMV Readers

Last night officially ended my own extensive months-long travel show schedule, with an evening performance in Los Angeles. More travel will start up again in mid October but not as heavy until 2008. SO now some things on the back burner at TMV will be dealt with quickly:

BLOGROLL UPDATE: As promised months ago, we will remove most inactive blogs or blogs TMV had links with but that no longer have links or no link to TMV. Also, a happy TMV reader alerted us to a blog that has removed us from its Moderate column due to some posts here and put us in another category. We are appreciative of being on its blogroll in what was originally a reciprocal link. We revisited that site and have now moved it on our blogroll from Center Voices to Other Voices, which has many fine blogs that do not fit into the other three blogroll categories.

BOOK, CD REVIEWS: Due to a backlog reviews will be shorter and punchier but you will see more and more of them.

Non Political Topics: We’ll be doing more nonpolitical posts as well and running special Guest Voice columns on some of those issues.

Take A Peek: Several readers asked about that feature and it will be appearing regularly starting Monday — pointing readers to weblogs on the right, left and center that we may not always agree with but that deal with issues, people and events. Those featured will not received advance warnings. Viewpoints will be rotated and include sites of all kinds.
