Liberal Indiana is back (again)
Thursday, August 28th, 2008 | website stuff
It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally decided to bring back Liberal Indiana.
When I first started Liberal Indiana in 2003(ish), it was with no real plan other than to provide a liberal opinion about the goings-on in Indiana. This was before Taking Down Words and the birth of Blue Indiana, before most other Hoosier Libs started writing on a regular basis.
Almost two years ago, I had a bright idea: transform Liberal Indiana into a blogging community, open it up to liberal bloggers from across the state.
That idea proved to be the downfall of Liberal Indiana. The software wasn’t ready for prime time, no one but Russian or African spammers were adding content, and as I quickly figured out, I was just plain not prepared to manage the amount of spam and technical problems that would come from my creation. It was doomed to fail.
So here I am again, back to basics. It is my intention to use the new Liberal Indiana to not only share my opinions about what’s going on in our state and our country, but also to cover the activities of Liberal organizations in the central Indiana area. If I stick to these simple things, I have a feeling Liberal Indiana will be back for good.
