Changes to the blog page

- by New Deal democrat

If you scroll down the right hand side of this page, you'll notice a major change. Gone are the lists of economics and stock trading blogs, and instead there is a whole new widget called "my favorite blogs."

The change was inspired by Frank Chow, whose blog features an awesome list of progressive blogs that update throughout the day as new content is added. My goal is to accomplish the same thing here with economics and investment blogs. The list includes not just progressive favorites but also a few from other points on the spectrum, nerdy numbers-crunchers, and investment commentary. I've added some names that weren't on the blogroll, and cleaned out the dead wood. I'm sure I've missed more than a few, and I'll add on to the list as time goes on.

Feel free to suggest other names to add on to the list if you don't see a valuable resource, and of course check back in here during the day to see constantly updated content.

Mish! Oh my! Some of my favorite reads here were when you went head to head with Mish. Good to see your open mindedness.

One that I was hoping would 'come back to the list' is "The Economic Populist". It use to be carried here, indeed I was introduced to it by the Bonddad and it has been a daily read since.

I'm not sure what happened exactly, but Bonddad got mad at something that was posted on EP. He wrote a pretty strong rebuttal and de-listed EP from the list.

The thing of it is, as I can best recall, the article that Bonddad got mad about wasn't written by the blog owner/publisher. It was either a guest blog or comment.
At any rate, EP is a hardcore number crunching blog not unlike The Bonddad. But, it is in the category that The Bonddad has been calling 'gloom and doom'. However, it makes the 'gloom and doom' case with solid statistics. EP is not Daily Kos.

Just a thought

The writer at economic populist stated that I stopped writing about debt. Of course, he didn't actually research the issue and failed to note that I supported the stimulus. He was far more interested in trying to play "gotcha" -- at which he failed miserably.

The blog never clarified nor apologized for the sloppy research. As such, they demonstrated they were far more interested in falsifying my record then actually researching the information.

Here is the link to my response.

Glad I could help inspire! Looking forward to seeing the Blog List grow here.
