But I didn’t. I’ve been busy.

I’ll explain shortly. Right now I’ve got a bunch of catching up to do. Those interested in the Marblehead Regiment and Fred Heads everywhere should just check out the link above.

UPDATE: Ok. I’m back.

Here’s what I’ve been doing for a good part of the past 36 hours, in fact since about the time I finished this post. I would like to build on the positives of the recent blogburst for Fred Thompson, and continue the momentum. As I mentioned in that post, I created the blogroll for The Marblehead Regiment, but that was just the start.

After that I registered and set up MarbleheadRegiment.com Granted, the welcome page isn’t much. I hope to improve that soon. I mostly just threw that together to be an entrance page for the other parts of the site.

The first thing I set up (which took for-ev-er) was WordPress µ a multi-user WordPress blog platform. What that means is anyone who wants to blog about Fred Thompson’s candidacy can start their own blog there. You can check it out here. I am anxious for someone to start their blog and let me know how the process went. There are about 80 templates for users to choose from, by the way. The blog urls will be in the form of marbleheadregiment.com/blogs/the_name_you_create/

Just to make it clear, these will be blogs supporting Fred Thompson. I paid for the site, I set it up, I control it. I’m reasonable, but it’s my rules. Capiche?

After that I added the Marblehead Regiment Forum using bbPress. Even if you don’t want to start your own blog, you can jump on the forum and discuss FDT all you want.

So, while there’s plenty more to do, and I am way behind here, things are ready to go. Take a look and let me know what you think. I am sure that there are still issues. WordPress µ is much more difficult (for the admin) than a regular WordPress blog. I may be asking for some help.

Enjoy.
