Welcome! Hail Cobra!
I wonder if Cobra Commander would be a good president? The PSA films at Fensler Films (NSFW) seem to suggest that he has a plan that’s better than GI Joe’s politics of failure. I wonder also if Cobra has a 
plan to save Social Security.

More likely, they would just kill the old and the sick with some sort of death ray. That will make it difficult for Cobra to take some of the swing states, particularly Florida.
………what’s more, he would probably make Destro his SecState, and he’s going to have an ENORMOUS nation-building agenda that I just can’t support.

Sure looks to me like commenting works fine!

I love America!

Test Post actually sounds like one of those Bill Murray/Andie MacDowell movie flops from the late 80s.

Any comments to the format? Any changes? Do you like the Photo Album being included? Any missing categories?
Comment by Steve Evans — November 12, 2004 @ 9:00 am
I like the art — it adds drama. The setup is similar to other blogs (I personally like how my old board works, better — each thread pops to the top when there is a comment). It’s workable.
A place for photos (photoalbum) is nice — can mp3s be loaded (for samples)?
As for category additions, I’m always a little put off by the Pop Culture category, because there’s plenty of art which isn’t part of that. I myself like older movies, and there are new DVDs of older movies. I think you need a Classic Culture category.
Comment by D. Fletcher — November 12, 2004 @ 9:12 am
I’ll add it! Good idea. As for mp3s, i’ve been thinking that we could do like what bob and logan do and have radio.blog, a streaming audio plug-in. Have you seen theirs?
Comment by Steve Evans — November 12, 2004 @ 9:21 am
I think the format is more or less okay for now. In my experience the format just sort of evolves over time as you realize what’s needed or what would work better. I might put the categories higher than the recent comments, though, just to give the quasi-Slate gateway menu a little more prominence.
And oh yeah, I was going to see if I could rig some way to put radio.blog into Blogger. Should I still try that, or does Typepad have a means of uploading files and addons like that more than Blogger?
Comment by Logan — November 12, 2004 @ 11:22 am
Typepad can either be like Blogger, or you can do “advanced” customizations where you can tweak CSS, HTML, etc. to your heart’s content and upload files. I’m going to set up a kulturtest blog (same URL, only kulturtest instead of kulturblog) to try it out and incorporate radio.blog and a statcounter.

I see the delete post feature works.
Comment by Logan — November 12, 2004 @ 1:27 pm
I noticed Kulturtest has radio.blog on it. Are we in business in that regard?
Comment by Logan — November 12, 2004 @ 1:44 pm
I can’t get it to work, unfortunately. But we could always just change the link to radio.blog hosted elsewhere….. say — BNL?
Comment by Steve Evans — November 12, 2004 @ 2:15 pm
Sure, try using this for the source: http://www.bobandlogan.com/radio.blog/index.php
If we’re lucky it will just work. If it doesn’t, we can try some stuff.
Comment by Logan — November 12, 2004 @ 2:24 pm
Of course, we don’t have a whole lot of space. It may not be a long term solution to have it hosted directly from BNL, especially if we want to get more songs up, but it should work for now.

Rock on!!
Comment by Steve Evans — November 12, 2004 @ 3:21 pm
Awesome!
Comment by Logan — November 12, 2004 @ 3:27 pm
We’re all using code names, right “Steve” and “Logan” and “D.”?
(Y’all hear that? We’re using code names!!)
(Bonus points if you can name where that line comes from.)
Comment by Gail — November 12, 2004 @ 3:42 pm
Oh yeah, *Gail*, I’m really Kaimi in disguise, spying! Just wait until you see the MASSIVE thing we have planned now!
Comment by Logan — November 12, 2004 @ 3:56 pm
gail, that’s Raising Arizona! You’ve got to get up early in the morning to fool us.
Now Gail, who are you and how did you find us?
Comment by Steve Evans — November 12, 2004 @ 5:15 pm
“Steve”:
H.I. told me all about you in the pen, before I released myself on my own recognizance. (I felt like the prison system had no more to offer me.)
ANYWAY, it’s me silly, the Ted Leo loving music snob. Just seeing what you all things of pseudonyms.
Comment by Gail — November 12, 2004 @ 5:45 pm
err, what you all THINK of pseudonyms.
Comment by Gail — November 12, 2004 @ 5:46 pm
“Gail”?
Sheesh.
Comment by Steve — November 12, 2004 @ 5:47 pm
(Gail is the John Goodman character in Raising Arizona; c’mon, stay with me here man.)
Comment by Gail — November 12, 2004 @ 6:09 pm
Oh, yeah. Well, some pseudonymns are better than others, man.
Comment by Steve — November 12, 2004 @ 6:12 pm
But you see, I was using that pseudonym only to raise the issues of pseudonymns in a cleverly pseudonymous way. My REAL pseudonym will be devastatingly cool, like “Bob Dylan” or “Billy Crystal”. Is “Atrios” taken?
Comment by Gail, for now — November 12, 2004 @ 6:30 pm
I wasn’t planning on using a pseudonym at all, actually… What’s wrong with just using your first name, and a fake email referrer? I don’t care…
Comment by Steve — November 12, 2004 @ 6:44 pm
You’re no fun.
