Apparently, the folks at Neptunus Lex took down that blog today, so I unlinked them, but I&#8217;ve replaced them with <a href=\"http:\/\/thelexicans.wordpress.com\/\">The Lexicans<\/a>, where those folks all migrated. They&#8217;re down in the &#8220;Good Blogs That DOn&#8217;t Link Here&#8221; category (hint, hint). <\/p>\n<p>By the way, in terms of a tip for those of you who are starting your own blogs, that was probably one of my best ideas while I was growing up out here. That list used to be longer than the list of people who linked here, but eventually most of them wanted to move up. You&#8217;d be surprised if I told you the names of bloggers who emailed me for a link exchange.<\/p>\n<p>The other change is that our buddy Don Surber announced today that <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dailymail.com\/donsurber\/archives\/54696\">he&#8217;s done blogging<\/a> after seven years. He&#8217;ll be missed, mostly by us West Virginians and those carpet baggers among us who depended on him to keep us straight on the who&#8217;s who here. I told him on Facebook the other day that I quit blogging six or seven times everyday &#8211; like I quit smoking. He messaged back that he was adamant about it. He says he&#8217;ll still be writing at the Charleston Daily Mail, so there&#8217;s that.<\/p>\n<p>Before he finished, Don left some <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dailymail.com\/donsurber\/archives\/54626#more-54626\">advice for prospective journalists<\/a>. I only wish they&#8217;d follow his guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to 509th Bob who has been clicking out of our blog roll for his reading pleasure for years letting folks know we&#8217;re out here. 509th Bob, who I&#8217;ve met a few times in the real world, emailed us about the blog roll changes today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not that it makes much difference, but I have made some changes to the links in &hellip; <a title=\"Link changes\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=29711\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Link changes<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bloggers-and-stuff"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29711\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
