\u201c\u2018I usually work alone…\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/div>BloodhoundBlog is renewed and refreshed as of this morning. I\u2019ve deployed a new theme for the first time ever, trimming away every distraction from the ideas that move this place \u2013 or that once did and perhaps will again.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the point? Why bother?<\/p>\n

I have a number of reasons: The boys have been muttering about it here and there, and I want a place where I can talk about real estate. That much was a problem, since our antiquated theme (installed with version 1.19 of WordPress) had lost its editing power with recent software upgrades.<\/p>\n

\"\"Even more important is this: We can\u2019t rely on social media. I am at this moment banned from Twitter, for weeks now, for praising Forest Whitaker as an actor. I wish I were making that up. My sad experience with every sort of content-contribution site is that eventually I get thrown off the island, with all of my contributions deleted. To hell with that…<\/p>\n

So in with the new, by way of the Hoffman theme. No Odysseus picture for the header, yet, because I\u2019m not sure I\u2019m done. I grew very fond of the block editor on LinkedIn, and I want it with this upgrade \u2013 and I have not yet worked out how to get it. We\u2019re working from the \u201cclassic\u201d editor for now, which is adequate but not ideal. But we are working, or we are at least fully-functional and ready to work.<\/p>\n

If you had posting privileges on BloodhoundBlog, you still do. Log in from this link<\/a>, and reset your password if necessary. Write what you want. Write what you honestly believe. Above all, write about the ideas that might get you banned or shunned elsewhere. That would be my plan, anyway.<\/p>\n

I had BHB stats yesterday, for the first time in years, and this post popped up<\/a>, to my thinking a choice expression of what BloodhoundBlog does best: Dancing joyously while holding up a mirror to hypocrisy. Don\u2019t even get me started on \u201cGin and Juice.\u201d<\/p>\n

So: Link, promote, subscribe<\/a>. We can have a conversation away from the censorship of Big Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
