Peoria Pundit is now operating at pundit.blogpeoria.com.
Please adjust your blogroll.

Peoria Pundit is number 9 on this week’s list of most influential blogs in Illinois. Not too bad for a blogger who’s been more about the nuts and bolts than content recently.
UPDATE: Fixed the link.

Check this out: The spiffy new State Journal-Register Web site has an easy-to-access pagelisting all their house bloggers … followed by a list of “Sprngfieldish” bloggers.
Very cool.
My advice to the SJ-R: Constantly monitor this list of links. Bloggers come and go. In Peoria, this is especially true.
And I notice that Disarranging Mine is conspicuously absent [...]

Click on these links. And click them often:

I’m up to my old tricks at It’s Billy’s Blog.
Jonathan Ahl links to Peoria Pundit, not once, not twice, but three times (here and here).
Pammy Darlin’ makes a comment on beauty.
Laura gives D150 bosses some advice they won’t follow in a million years.
PeoriaIllinoisan does the same thing, only [...]

… is that it is far, far more flexible and feature packed than it was before. If you currently have a Blogger-dot-com blog, treat yourself to some extra features by logging into the draft Blogger home page and changing to one of the new templates, then putting some newfangled widgets on your site.
It’s what I’m using [...]

Obviously, I’m blogging again.
I had planned to come back a few days from now, but I wanted to get the information about the looming parental revolt at Keller Primary out into the Blogosphere.
And, yes, the site was down briefly today, as I forgot to pay my bill online. I intended to do it before I [...]

Sometime Tuesday, Site Meter recorded the 1,000,000th unique daily visitor to PeoriaPundit.com.
I have no idea who it what or what brought them here. Was it a regular visitor who wanted get his or her daily fix? Was it someone lured here by promises of pics of Paige Davis stripping?
And I have to concede that the [...]

It turns out Barack Obama is one of those people.
Hat tip: SCAM.

There’s a good article in Sunday’s Journal Star about anonymous comments and their role in the public debate. The Henry Holling situation — and how anonymous commenters tried to spread lies about the man on this and other blogs — is mentioned.
Naturally, someone in the comments section attacks me for selling out, kissing ass [...]

On this day in 2002, I created the blog that would come to be known as Peoria Pundit.
So, while your humble writer is 44 years old, this blog would be starting its second semester of kindergarten if it were alive.
But in the Blogosphere, 6 years is well past middle age.
I don’t recall the the exact [...]

“There are people who tell you to shut up because you’re just a celebrity, but pundits, talking heads, they’re every bit the celebrity and a lot of them aren’t any more qualified than the average man on the street.”
– Kevin Bacon

It’s called “City without a Subway.” It’s an anonymous pundit-style blog, with several snarky posts already up.
And Peoria does too have a Subway, in fact more than one. They’ve got one inside Wal-Mart, one at Campustown, one at University and Glen and one waaaaaay out on North Knoxville.
UPDATE: Marathon Pundit links to this post, noting:
“Peoria [...]

Elaine Hopkins wants me to NOT criticize reporter Karen McDonald because she might not be responsible for the highly criticizeable coverage of the 18th District Congressional race. It’s not fair, she says, because we don’t know for sure what role editors at the paper might have played.
Really?
I seem to recall that Elaine was pretty quick [...]

Oh, no. Say it isn’t so.
Scott Janz has always been my kinda blogger. He’s a landlord, but one of the good ones, and he never hesitated to tell it like it is when it comes to dealing with the city, the Peoria Housing Association, drunken contractors, the utility companies, etc.
But he says he’s tired of [...]
