I've been blogging here on and off for a few months now.  I no longer reside in the state capitol but I was very involved with the movement there for 7 years.

I have a couple of suggestions to make Oly blog truly more democratic without feeling hi-jacked by folks.

For one thing.  Please put a box that is EASY to find for blogger LOGIN! input on the frontpage!  Why hide the access to bloggers?

This going through filters of editors to safeguard the inpoint is not working for me. 

Also I challenge folks to do a full background search on Jeff Brigham and his other buddy up in Tacoma.  I can still see his face but I don't recall his name.  These 2 folks are to be understood and analyzed.

Did Jeff ever serve in the military?  How long? which service and when/why did he leave.  The same for the other guy...
he is on tape somewhere.

The reason I ask this is that the major news media always give him lip service but they need to know who these guys are and what their motives are.

I also hope the transition to a new server goes well.  Please make the frontpage more input info friendly to bloggers (easy to find blogger login box).

Thank you for hearing me Oly-town.
