Metablogging: Blocking Some Access

I have grown bold enough to play around with this blog's HTACCESS file, in an attempt to block certain IP and domain access. I realize that this is somewhat analogous to "everyone who's not here, raise your hand," but if anyone discovers that they can access this blog in some circumstances but not others, please [...]

Light Blogging Ahead

A trio of unexpected logistical challenges, none of which is bad and none of which is in any way related to any headlines you might be reading, will require me to keep blogging to a minimum for the next week. Please, no panic selling or rumor-mongering if I don't post much for the next few [...]

Hiatus

Taking a much-needed vacation this week, at an undisclosed location. (Well, yet-to-be-disclosed.) I have some canned posts ready, along with relevant archive pieces — and, of course, Kip Clips for your enjoyment. Little to no same-day blogging through Sunday, but I'll be Internetted and tweeting when appropriate (which, given the non-stop adventure that is Sarah [...]

The Return of the Politician's Vindictive Blogger Subpoena

To review: There is a First Amendment right not only to free speech, but also to anonymous speech, and especially to anonymous political speech. That has never been seriously doubted in our history, and is deeply entrenched in Supreme Court precedent. See, e.g., McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, 514 U.S. 334 (1995) ("Under our Constitution, [...]

Elitism

A first here at A Stitch in Haste: a former Elite Eleven blog, Crime & Federalism, is returning to that role. C&F used to be a team blog, but now its proprietor, Mike, is a solo blogtitioner — and a quite prolific one recently. Good stuff then, good stuff now. And he has the second [...]

Semi-Hiatus

Traveling through Wednesday. Light blogging. Kip Clips. Etc. P.S. Check out Twitter!

Fourth Blogiversary

Four years, 4,256 posts (including this one). Approaching 600,000 hits. An indeterminate number of comments. One published piece and one casebook citation. Thanks. — It really is sheer coincidence that this anniversary occurs at the same time that the old blogsite shuts down. Really. But in case you somehow came here from www.kipesquire.com, a reminder [...]

On the "AP versus Bloggers" Kerfuffle

It's quite simple really: If the Associated Press wants me never to link to their material, then I'm more than willing to oblige. I have other options.

A Blog Migration Anecdote (and Bleg)

Anyone have any experience, either directly or anecdotally, with DreamHost, the large web hosting service? They caught my eye with this: Web hosting provider DreamHost has recently given its customers the rather unusual advice of choosing Google's Gmail over its own email service, telling them that "it's something Google … can do better." … "Just [...]

Blog Migration Update

First off, thanks so much to everyone who contacted me with advice, suggestions and offers of assistance. It really meant a lot to me. Given how easily Doc Palmer migrated his PowerBlogs posts to WordPress despite the PB export being in Movable Type format, I think I will go with WP, as per many recommendations [...]
