On the Radio
I just had the pleasure of being on the radio, on the Steve Gill Show on WWTN 99.7 here in Nashville, guest-hosted today by singer Joe Bonsall of the legendary Oak Ridge Boys. We talked mostly about blogs and how the Internet has put the power of the freedom of the press into the hands of ordinary people. If you're visiting my website for the first time today because you heard about it on the radio this morning, I'm glad you're here - please leave a comment!

More than that, welcome to the world of weblogs and online commentary. There are blogs by right-wingers, left-wingers and wingnuts; blogs by Iraqis and by soldiers in Iraq, tech nerds and homeless guys and lawyers and economists and preachers and professors and ordinary people and by extraordinary people like you. There are even some satirical blogs, and cartoon blogs. You can find a long list of some of my favorite blogs over in the right-side column of my site. I'm not going to recommend any because you can click for yourself, read for yourself, think for yourself and decide for yourself.

Oh, okay, I'll recommend one. Instapundit.com. And if you want to start a blog, go to Blogger.com. Join the discussion!

Thanks, Joe.

UPDATE: Didn't get a chance to mention it on the radio (time moves a lot faster on radio than off!) but at Belmont University in Nashville, where I work, I am helping faculty members start blogs in areas of their expertise. The first, The Entrepreneurial Mind, has already launched, and there are more to come. Also, I maintain a weblog about blogging, Re: Blogging. And there's another Belmont-born blog that I didn't help start, but is well worth your time if you are interested in the issues of copyright and intellectual property rights in the digital era. It's called BelmontCopyright.com
