I'm told there are two photos of me in the print version but thankfully they do not appear in the web version [UPDATE: one now does]. This article is a good faith swing at sizing up the blogosphere with respect to matters personal, political, and media-related.

The paper, I'm sorry to say, makes you pay to read online, so I've posted the article for all to see here. Here's the link to the original location if you want to pay, which I heartily encourage you to do if you live in the region or otherwise want to support our local paper.

Quoted in the article, in addition to Markos Moulitsas (Daily Kos) are a number of local bloggers, though our URLs are not included. You found me. Check out Kristen Beam here. Scott Brodeur is here. Also Jennifer Myszkowski, Kelsey Flynn, and Nerissa Nields. I'm trusting you can find Daily Kos, Matt Drudge, and Wonkette on your own.

I think it's a pretty good article. The only thing I want to correct for the record is the impression that I am some sort of union official ("union administrator"). I am the benefits administrator for an insurance plan offered by a labor union. Just an honest conflation of details I think.

I Also believe that Steve, the reporter who wrote the story, didn't know how huge Instapundit is until after he'd written the story or I think he'd have cited it as an example of one of the most popular blogs (though Wonkette and Drudge have superior name recognition among non-blog readers).
