Might be a little slow for a minute
For the past few weeks on this end, things have been getting quite busy. With no sign of it letting up anytime soon, I am going to slow things down here for a while. In the meantime, I am scheduled to appear on NPR’s “News and Notes” this Wednesday, so stay tuned!
Neat Lil’ Tool
While poking around Google last evening, I came across yet another great idea from the company that keeps growing, and growing, and growing.
It’s called Custom Search. And yes, just as the name implies you can create your own search engine that searches sites you want to search. So naturally I created a search engine called BlackTalk (a search engine that searches exclusively Black blogs). I was only able to add 47 sites covering a variety of ideologies and P.O.V.s, but I will add more throughout the week. The only thing I do not like about Custom Search is that the URL is way too long. Just click on the link below and it will take you straight to the page.

Still Making Some Changes
If you have not noticed by now, much of the blogroll for this site is either missing or has been moved to its own separate page. The process is still ongoing as I am sifting out dead links and replacing them with better ones.
Another thing, when I upgraded my version of Wordpress, I lost all of my categories leaving me with the task of re-categorizing everything (almost 4,000 posts).
Like I tell my kids in the car “We’ll get there when we get there.”
