Yesterday I had never heard of YA author James Kennedy, nor his book, The Order of Odd Fish. Today I think he is one of the most awesome people in the world, and his book may be the next one I buy. This is entirely due to a blog post he wrote for no other reason than to celebrate a teenage fan of his work who spoke at an ALA meeting wearing a fish hat. A blog post that is, in fact, a 4000 word short story celebrating his young fan while revealing, among other mysteries, that all of Neil Gaiman’s books are written by bees and the head of the American Library Association goes about clothed in the skin of A. A. Milne. America, Emulate This Man has completely won me over.

I have a LiveJournal account which, prior to my setting up this website, has seen intermittent activity. I’ve decided that I want to experiment with synchronizing these two blogging services. If all goes well, what I post here should show up there. Let’s see if it works.
EDIT: Huzzah!
SECOND EDIT: But if I save a post as a draft on the blog, it publishes the draft to LiveJournal. Boo!
THIRD EDIT: It looks like I can specifically tell it not to synch when I save a draft, but I have to do so by hand for each entry I am saving to post later. Irritating, but not completely unworkable. Meh!
