All articles filed in Ten for Thursday

As summer winds down, my enthusiasm for supporting my fellow Times Union community bloggers only grows stronger. If you’re a late visitor to this regular Thursday morning feature, here’s how it came about. For a few years, the Times Union would promote a blogger’s work – either community or staff – on page 1 of…

Get up, stand up… stand up for your fellow Times Union community bloggers. Read their articles and blog posts, they’re worth your time and your attention. And this week’s bushel of bounty includes: Liz Lemery Joy’s “Joy In These Days” blog: “Careless: throwing family onto front page without any facts.”  (Bravo!) Stephanie Snyder’s “A Professor’s…

So you’re probably wondering… “Chuck, do you actually READ these blogs that you’re promoting every Thursday in your own TU blog?” And I respond… “You betcha.” See, the basis of this regular blog feature is to share the best work of my fellow TU community bloggers.  I’m not just going through the blogs and picking…

Hey everybody, guess what time it is. Yep.  It’s time to showcase ten of the Times Union’s community bloggers and their great work.  And since the Times Union’s print edition hasn’t fully and permanently restored that “Best of Our Blogs” piece to the newspaper’s print edition, then I’m more than willing to give up one…

It’s been an interesting week at the TU blog portal.  Apparently somewhere in the blog base, there were sparks in the software, flashing the message, something’s out there… comments lost in the summer sky, 99 luftballoons go by… Anyway, apparently all the blog comments – good comments and spam – ended up in the spam…

Have you been able to get through this heat wave?  And the thunderstorms?  And the blinding blizzards? Okay, I’m just joking about the blinding blizzards. But once again, it’s time for my weekly review of ten great blog posts by my fellow Times Union community bloggers. Anyways… this week’s list includes: Don Rittner, “Welcome to the…

Ladies and gentlemen, hobos and tramps, cross-eyed mosquitoes and bow-legged ants… I stand here before you, not behind you, I came here to address you, not undress you, on a subject I know nothing about. Sorry, I just had a flashback to some old comedy record whose name completely escapes me. But while everybody else…

Here it is, Thursday.  And here it is, another ten of the Times Union’s Community Blogs that you should read and enjoy.  This week’s bumper crop of blogged harvest include: Liz Lemery Joy’s “Joy in These Days” blog, “Be Still and Know that I am God.“ Reyna Eisenstark’s “Collected Stories” blog, “My Favourite Dress.“ Teri…

Sometimes I think that a little blog like mine won’t make a difference in this big wide world.  When the Times Union redesigned its print edition and eliminated the “Best of Our Blogs” featurette, it bothered me.  And it bothered many of my fellow TU community bloggers, who provide fresh, interesting, entertaining content on this…
