Disqus comments appear to be not loading for some reason. I have contacted Disqus and hope to have the problem resolved soon. Stay tuned… UPDATE: The issue appears to be related only mobile browsers and iPads. I haven’t tried it with non-iPhones, however. I’m not sure what happened because I can still view Disqus comments on other blogs and it […]

Just a quick update to let you know that I have switched over from the old Blogger commenting system to Disqus. You don’t have to but you can sign up for a quick and easy (and FREE!) Disqus account. This will allow you to track your commenting on any Disqus comment-containing blog. I’m currently importing comments from the Blogger system […]

I have added an email subscription form in the sidebar in case you are interested in receiving updates when I add content. I’m not sure it’s working correctly so any feedback would be awesome. Thanks! I’m just sayin’…

To say that this has been a banner three days for Eclectablog would be an understatement. Since I posted my entry on Rachel Maddow on Sunday afternoon, this blog has had 6,883 hits. That’s a bit more than a quarter of all the traffic it’s gotten since I started it in July 2008. Nearly half of the traffic this blog […]

Wahoo! 1,010 hits and it’s not midnight yet. I’d like to thank my mom and my wife and Rachel Maddow and Reddit and… I’m just sayin’… ===============UPDATE: Final count is… 2,163! Wow.

I’ve recently had the honor of being invited to be a front page blogger for the Blogging For Michigan website. It’s really flattering to be asked and I’m thrilled to join their ranks. Stop by and check us out! I’m just sayin’…

I don’t know why I didn’t do this before. Now you can simply type in “www.eclectablog.com” or just “eclectablog.com” and you’ll come here directly. Kinda like a brand and stuff ;) I’m just sayin’…
