Back At It

As you may have noticed, I took a few days away from blogging after Turkey Day and spent some time up in Seattle with my family. I had a great time, and hope that you had a good few days as well. But even though I was away, I couldn't keep myself totally away from doing blog-related work. As a result, I've mostly completed a long-planned overhaul of TJR, and hope to post it later today or tomorrow.

I'm excited about the new look, but I feel obligated to warn folks that it may seem like a substantial change. Basically, the jedreport.com frontpage will be more focused around headlines and links to external sites. (Don't worry, it's not that Drudge Report-look that I experimented with.)

The blog will still have a prominent spot on the frontpage, and it will also continue to exist as it is now, but at a new URL (probably http://www.jedreport.com/blog/). The RSS feed will stay as it is now. Basically, other than the home page, things will stay the same.

I'm sure I'll write more about it later, but I'm not making changes simply for the sake of making change; my goal is to make sure that TJR as a platform is well-suited to the type of writing, video editing, and political communications work that I'll be doing in the coming year now that the election has ended.

Anyway, that's enough housekeeping/meta for now. After all, the big news today isn't about TJR -- it's about President-elect Obama's new national security team!
