I am a regular reader of Dvorak's, and have been for years. Actually, I just covered him and his interest in blogs in my own journal.

Now I learn that you guys have gotten Dvorak to actually take up a blog of his own. This is a serious mistake! This guy is already incredibly prolific-- he publishes two columns every month in PC Magazine, in addition to all the other stuff he does. What's more, he is witty, contraversial and entertaining.

In short, it is my fear that if Dvorak takes up blogging as a serious pursuit, he will steal away all of our traffic and put all of us humble bloggers to shame. HE MUST BE STOPPED!

I dunno about this - isn't this Dvorak a nutjob?

Wait, I thought he'd been shot into the inky depths of space in a giant metal rocket-ship with his manservant Standish:

He'd have a long way to evolve, even to reach nutjob. He'll publish any wild bullshit that comes into his head, if he thinks it will enrage people enough to drive hits to his pages. So I suppose he's perfect for BB.

I love John: he said very nice things about me TWICE recently IN PRINT. Thus he is wonderful, famous, handsome, and thin.

I still remember what Dvorak originally had to say about weblogs... (-1, troll)

Fortunately, I also remember what my response was.

Still, we must be prepared to welcome this fledgling "third wave" of 'professionals turned webloggers'... we won't ask what took them so long to come around, and we hope that they can keep up with the real journalists out there in the weblog arena. (Give Salam Pax the Pulitzer!)

If Dvorak is supposed to be so knowledgable then why can't he figure out how to add a discuss link at the bottom of his blog entries?

Is there a RSS feed for the guestbar? When the guestblog is updated it pings weblogs.com, but it just gives the URL for the main boingboing page (which makes sense). Blo.gs tries to autodiscover the RSS feed and associates the main BB feed with the guestbar (see http://blo.gs/info.php?id=2033 for details).
RSS link What's this?
