You can find the blog if, upon opening CharlotteObserver.com, you click on the tab at the top labeled “Opinion” and then on blogs/columnists. Or click on the regular “Opinion” page and you’ll see a listing for my Saturday op-ed column, and a teeny link to the Naked City blog.
I’m trying to convince the Web page designers to give this (and other blogs) more visibility. But for now, try bookmarking it, or or set up an RSS feed.
As to the tenor of the comments, let me remind everyone I police the comments and remove insulting or crude ones. If you disagree with me or with anyone else, that’s fine. It helps provoke discussion. If you insult me or others or use profanity (even with ** for letters) or discuss the uses of corncobs or call people hillbillies or rednecks or other insults, your comments will be deleted. Stay civil and we’ll all have a better time.
Finally, another reminder that one day soon, this blog will migrate from blogger.com onto a CharlotteObserver.com platform and you’ll have to register and provide a name for your comments. So no more comments from “anonymous.”
