Now Easier To JoinCross

There’s a problem over at the JoinCross blog - it’s now easier to comment and even, dare I say, link to an entry (hey, where are the trackbacks?). It used to be that one had to really study their blog, and even email them to figure out how to link up to an entry. […]

Kerry Online Communication Takes A Page From Dean

ArchPundit notes John Kerry’s campaign has a new Online Volunteer Center up.
