And It Just Keeps Getting Better...

Heh! Some sharp video cut 'n' paste, no?

And all just to underline the point that we here here at Fire on the Mountain don't just promise change, we deliver.

Since Modern Pitung came aboard and started posting just two days ago, we have added yet another new compa to the Contributors roll, Rahim on the Docks, who had contributed greatly to FotM's earlier stories about Black and labor struggles in Northern Jersey.

We have also signed on to the Out Of Iraq Bloggers Caucus, whose scrolling (and growing) list of members is in our right hand column under its own little widget logo. Check out their (our) home page for more info, and consider signing up your own blog too, if you have one.

Finally, you may not have noticed, but we have a new logo. Seems Modern Pitung's folks didn't throw out that 10th birthday woodburning kit after all.

And more ch-ch-ch-changes are in the works. Keep your eyes open. And feel free to comment and make suggestions below!

There'll Be Some Changes Made

A little late for New Year's resolutions, I know, but there was Iraq Moratorium Day #5 to get out of the way. So starting now, you may notice some changes leaking into the venerable institution that is Fire on the Mountain.

For starters, check out the contributor's column! Added to the honor roll is the excellent Modern Pitung of All Out For The Fight fame. Check out his earlier contributions here.
Another worth noting is the rearrangement of the blog links listed toward the bottom of the right hand column. The old list had sat there for a year, and will still reflect the political blogs I personally favor. Some new ones have been added but the main thing is the reclassification, arrived at in a conversation with the Bronx Bolshevik a couple days ago. From the top, you'll find Active Duty--those which most frequently post new stuff; and In There Stroking--blogs with ups and downs, but new content often enough to call for a frequent look-see; Slugs and No Vital Signs--both self-explanatory.

I hope those who wound up in the last two categories will take this as a poke of encouragement, not a sneer. I miss your stuff, folks, and hope you will keep up the good work. I know it's hard to pump out content into what too often can seem like a vacuum, I know the struggle places demands on us that must take priority over posting on a blog, I know that sometimes folks find it more productive to contribute to active threads on others' blogs, I know that some former bloggers have kinda relocated to MySpace or FaceBook. Doesn't mean I don't miss you...

And keep your eyes open. More changes are coming. (Oh, yeah. At the top, that's the Hot Club of Cowtown.)
