Greg Shoup gave me a heads up today that WANE has a new weather blog, which will have content from all four weather people. If you’re not happy with the speed that WANE.com loads, as I am, you’ll be surprised at how fast their blog loads. It’s built using WordPress and loads quickly.

I’ve added a link under “Old Media.”

We’ve installed Intense Debate. A large number of blogs are moving to this system and it allows several login options. Over time, it will also eliminate the need for constant moderation. It also has some nice features for those that comment.

We’d suggest getting an account, although it’s not a requirement. You can do so by going to their web site: http://intensedebate.com/.

A warm welcome to Conservative Professor (CP), as a new contributor to the AWB blog. CP maintains a blog at conservativeprofessor.wordpress.com, but has agreed to occasionally post here.

CP’s first post will be here within the hour.

I’ve added a couple of changes that may be of interest to our readers.

Okay, this wasn’t really what I would call a “contest,” it was more of a “who can get more people to vote for you” thing. The contest was held by an Indiana-based social networking firm, LinkingIndiana.com. Their intent was to make people more aware of Indiana blogs, and based on some of the traffic we received from their site, we think it worked.

AWB was in the top ten, (#7), and also won favorite political blog.

You can see all the winners, here.

UPDATE: I’m in the lead, but I need more votes to stay ahead.

Thanks!

I’m no big believer in blog awards or their intended consequences or lack thereof, but what the heck. Give me a vote, here.

Über Liberal Robert Rouse, (rhymes with Goose) has been absent from the local blogging scene for quite some time. He’s back. The title of the blog is “Freeze Dried Gray Matter.” Once you watch this clip, you’ll agree it’s an appropriate name.

I warn you, it will make you ill. Come back here and leave your comments.

At the request of a subscriber, I have changed the updates to only go out twice a day, as opposed to every time there’s a new post.

I’m going back to my original moniker as you can see from the header. Those that want to call it racist, go for it. There’s nothing racially motivated behind it. I’m angry, white, and I’m a male. If you can’t get pass that, KMPWA.

By the way, the old links still work.

Stay tuned.

Right now I’m sitting in the parking lot of Homestead High School borrowing their Internet access, hehehe. The interesting thing is, you cannot go to any Blog on Blogger from here, they block access as inappropriate. You can however get to all of the Typepad.com Blogs. Interesting.

Update: When my son came out I explained it to him. He said that was a simple fix. Just go to www.Kproxy.com. If you can stand the popups, it works pretty good.
