It’s been a while since I’ve updated (a combination of work and connectivity issues) so I thought I’d spend some time on what I’ve been reading.
If you haven’t done so already, bookmark The Story. The brianchild of Mark Coughlan and Gavin Sheridan, it’s a must see site if you want to see the devil in the details.
John McGuirk describes himself as ‘Conservative, Nationalist, Likes Cake‘. McGuirk is best known for his work with Libertas, though he promises the blog will develop ideas in several areas. How can you not love a political backroom boy who twitters his reactions to X Factor every weekend?
Forth is a new magazine, featuring sometimes offbeat, often original opinion pieces, though they still haven’t enabled comment on their article. A pity, since many of their pieces have me itcing to reply, so let’s hope they fix that soon.
Tuppenceworth is always worth a look-in, for a unique take on the conventional and the quirky. If you read nothing else this week, read Fergal Crehan’s Worst Case Scenario.
And finally, there’s the Daddy of them all. Slugger O’Toole recently added a new batch of southern based columnists, including Senator Paschal Donoghue and yours truly.

Your new font doesn’t really “work” for me
What sites do work for you? I’m looking for a new wordpress design and I’ve gone through several, and I’m open to suggestions.
Ah, you’ve joined up with Slugger. Good on ye.
The CMS needs an update before comments can be enabled – early November, likely. Please do write a letters, though: letters AT forth.ie. All comments welcomed.

But I don’t want to write a letter to the editor. I want to see a public discussion. I want a dialog, not a correspondence.
As soon as I have the money it’ll be upgraded to support comments. Sadly this little enterprise is costing me a fortune (that I don’t have).
Best of luck. I’d prioritise commenting as a feature though. New media lives and dies on immediacy and feedback.
Until we do, there’s always this:

Commenting is now working at forth.
