While you may think that the blogisphere is right wing, according to Hugh, there are a lot of leftwing blogs too. I wouldn't know if it is primarily left or right. I have not explored it. I gather there are millions of blogs so I suppose it would be impossible to categorize them. Anyway, left or right is fine with me, as long as it brings in serious readers and spreads the word. - Jed

Jed posted; About getting into the blogisphere. I gave your URL to Hugh Hewitt, who has a national radio talk show. Hugh blogs on his website hughhewitt.com . He is also the author of Blog. I've only read a few pages because Hugh was in town over the weekend. He talks about how the blogisphere has kept several news stories in the media long enough for something to be done about them. The latest scalp on Hugh's belt is that of Eastland Jordan, former president of CNN, who resigned Friday. Hugh picked up the story from the blogisphere and started talking about it on his program about a week ago, he also mentioned it in a televised interview. Jordan had slimed the American military as having targeted journalists for extermination. which infuriated Hugh. Having your own nationally syndicated radio program, and a best selling book are handy for getting on the media. I'm hoping that Hugh addresses the subject of getting traffic to your blog, I'll keep you posted. While you may think that the blogisphere is right wing, according to Hugh, there are a lot of leftwing blogs too. It would seem to me that radionuclide remediation would be a hot button issue for those folks. I would think that you or Leaking Pen would be good people to contact them. BTW, I'm prodofgod.blogspot.com . I'm also going to be publishing science related articles in the Minnesota Sentinel, mnsentinel.org . I wrote an article on how the government has spent $150 billion attempting to produce a Sun in a can, and attempted to strangle LENR in it's cradle. I sent it to Ed for review, I'll post the link when it is published.
Re: How to appear in the blogoshere?
You have my sympathies Jed. Although I charge for my CF book, I, like you, didn't write it to make money. Getting out the word of my book, and the subject, is a tough sell right now and I think it's all about what you said, these people will not risk their reputations to endorse cold fusion -- or even talk about it. My strategy has been to spend massive amounts of time contacting any and every person I know or learn of that shows some sign of interest and bend their ear a bit. I think you'll agree, this subject should be paramount in scientific and respectable circles. At this point in time, it seems like the strong interest is still clearly in the fringe. Regardless, I do what I can, figuring that every little bit will help and that the results will show up some day. The other part of my strategy has been to avoid preaching to the deaf, as well as the converted. Steve
Re: How to appear in the blogoshere?
Anyway, I set out to learn about these blog things . . . and I was not impressed. Most of them seem poorly written and unorganized. Most appear to be right wing political diatribes, or self-centered gabbing about nothing in particular, or recursive comments about the blogosphere itself. . congrats. this here is a nail, and thats a rather large hammer in your hand, and you connected the two quite well. the majority of the blogosphere (puke) is just that. there are some sites dedicated to new that are or were pretty big. i used to be on agonist a bunch before they changed things around (scoop.agonist.org, no www. ). and i used to post a bunch of fringe science stuff, but, since we had a few real scientists, that got ignored. my suggestion, if you see that youve been linked by a blog, go there, sign up, add a link on your website back to that blog, and talk with people on the commenting systems. that will draw people. that, and you can make your own blog. recent things that have come up, news items you got from vortex, ect, with your own thoughts and comments, and a space for people to comment. theres lots of canned blogging programs. find a blog you like the looks of, and search the faq, youll usually find some info on how they put their blog together.
