OUR REFORMAT: You can see more and more changes. (1)We’re reworded the masthead to better explain what TMV is today. (2)We’ve replaced the 2004 Weblog Award banner with the new one. (3)Categories are up and running. Click on a category and you’ll start to see related posts appear there.
TMV IS MOVING on the evening of December 29. The domain name www.themoderatevoice.com will remain the SAME but some other feeds, news aggregators, will have to be notified since the active blog won’t be on Powerblogs. We LOVE Powerblogs and this present blog will stay on Powerblogs as an achive blog for a minimum one year, possibly much longer. TMV’s new home will be on WordPress.
Consider Giving A Holiday Tip To TMV This Xmas via the Paypal or Amazon above at our Tipjar. Two reasons. (1)TMV now stays at (presumably) better motels with (presumably) better wireless access to write while on the road. (2)TMV himself is trying to raise money for a young teen who we’ll call Sam who has had a tough life with his mom out of pocket for 10 years. He wants an Xbox 3 and TMV will buy it for him no matter what but Sam is saving his money, TMV will give $100 and there may be some more from relatives. The target about is $400 to buy the Xbox 3. He’ll get it no matter what (TMV is buying it this week) but donations would help defray the roughly $200 more that’s needed.
THE REFORMAT’S FUNDING came from a donation from a centrist who hopes this site will grow as it becomes more “reader friendly.” The entire donation was turned over to an experienced computer tech who was available and he’s rapidly making the changes you can see now…and that you’ll see more of by January 1st.
