Happy Blogaversary, Kathy!

We often don’t see eye-to-eye politically and we’ve traded pot-shots

(she called me an egomaniacal dimwit, which is half-right) on our

blogs, but in real life, we get along. Having been a blogger for five

years this past Tuesday, she’s been at it for longer than I have,

during which time she’s become a star in the right-wing blogosphere and

a much-needed irritant to the left. As my most frequent blog sparring

partner, she keeps me entertained, honest and on my toes. She’s Kathy

Shaidle, and her blog is Relapsed Catholic. Congratulations on five years of blogging, Kathy!

Marc “Paved” Weisblott

has noted in his 50 Most Toronto blog that:

The

two longtime local bloggers whose names most frequently come up in

conversation about the medium (if hand-waving dialogue with Brett Lamb

is anything to measure things by) are both female: Kathy Shaidle and

Raymi [may not be safe for work — she sometimes posts pin-up shots of herself].

Kathy. Raymi. Several reality show concepts have just formed in my mind!

Hi all,

Just a note to say that there will be a workshop on The Business of Blogging at the CASCON conference in Toronto next week (Wed. Oct. 19). You can register for this free conference and I've set up a CASCON blog.

More information on the workshop is here.

Joey is going to be speaking at the workshop so that hopefully will provide motivation to go hehe!
