Here's a milestone, so I thought I'd share a few things I've learned in my short time blogging.
1. Find your niche. There's so much going on in the internet, and no one can be an expert at all of it. Post on what you're interested in, and focus on those items. Let some stories pass you by - there's plenty of other voices out there.
I visit Instapundit or Don Surber to see what's hot, and if there's something I can add to the story.
2. Be timely and timeless. To be read, it's helpful to be quick on the draw when a big event hits. But you'd be surprised at when your posts can get read.
Google search keeps the past alive a lot longer than people hold onto newspapers. You may write something and get hits on it a month or two later. I avoid using today, since who knows the day the reader will visit.
3. Short and sweet. For most posts, I keep it within one text box in blogger. I love writing one sentence items, or a short item with a pull-out quote. There's more things for the reader to choose from, and it doesn't fill up the computer screen.
If something pops into my head about something in the news, I put it out there. Throw it against the wall and see what sticks.
4. Drafting. Just like on the NASCAR track or the interstate, find some big dogs of the internet and follow them closely. It increases your reach and helps bring the hits along. I saw stuff by the other McCain earlier in the year, especially his advice on getting a million hits in a year. I'm far from that pace, but it's nice to be part of his team.
The weekly roundups do bring in the traffic. And it doesn't always have to be Megan Fox.
It's cool to find your blog among American Power's super list of conservative blogs, or to see a spike in traffic on Sitemeter when someone picks up your post.
5. Have fun. I enjoyed reading Mark Steyn and Iowahawk before starting blogging, and now enjoy highlighting their latest writing on my blog. And it helps me find things I liked more easily in the future.
American Power had the post that inspired this post. I've added my two cents, and now it's on to the next 1,000 posts.

Will the Daily Progress progress?
The C-ville Weekly, one of two free tabloid newspapers in Charlottesville, has an interesting story on the financial struggles of the Daily Progress and Media General.
Media General owns a good chunk of daily papers in the state, starting with the Richmond Times-Dispatch. It bought newspapers, TV stations and other things in the 1990s and beyond, then the music stopped. The money they planned to use to pay their debts wasn't there.
The debt, more than the internet, has some newspaper companies in trouble. But the debts aren't going way and the internet means the revenue stream will continue to shrink.

Keeping him under wraps
The L.A. Times looks at Joe Biden's schedule and doesn't like what it sees.
According to the White House schedule, Biden will not spend the remainder of the workday in private meetings that are closed press.
Instead: "The Vice President will spend the remainder of the day in meetings that are closed press."
You get the difference, right?

Obama monologues
I watched Conan O'Brian's Twilight show for the first time Thursday. Not impressive.
He started with a Sarah Palin joke. Then a Nancy Pelosi joke. Then an economy joke.
Time to say something funny about President Obama? Nah. Joke about the housewife show on cable.
Then mention the nuclear treaty. And say the Russian leader's name is too long. (Medevdev should just be Medev.) Then it's off to popular culture.
It is that hard to joke about the President? Nothing funny about him at all today? I'll take a shot.
"Did you hear about the nuclear treaty signed in Russia this week. Both countries plan to give up one-third of their weapons. We're giving up the best and they're giving up the duds. You know, the ones with CCCP still on them.
"The President is in the land of the czars. So he took a few of his government czars with him on the trip.
"What's he have, like 3,000 czars? He took the toilet paper czar to make sure the roll was hung correctly. There's a smile czar to make sure all the people in the background are smiling. And a happy czar to keep the White House press corps happy.
"And there's 20 czars who hang around Joe Biden all day long. They form a circle around him and make sure he doesn't get to a microphone.
"Biden's like 'Hey guys, can I talk to that camera crew?' And they say 'Nyet, Nyet, Nyet.'
See, it's not that hard. Try it and you might get some laughs.

Weekend Watchdog
My son was born in 1997, about a week before that year's All-Star game. The American League has not lost since then.
The National League tries to regain its winning ways Tuesday in St. Louis, following Monday's home run derby and assorted contests.
I grew up during the era of National League dominance, when the senior circuit won 19 of 20 games between 1963 to 1982. It's wild to think the American League hasn't lost since Philadelphia in 1996, although the two leagues tied in 2002.
That tie brought out several rules changes, including giving the winning side home-field advantage in the World Series. Six straight years the AL has hosted Game 1, but each league has won three times since then.
It's nice to have home-field advantage, but it's not an overwhelming difference.
Before the All-Star break, there's some more baseball to play.
The Nationals visit Houston for a series on MASN, while the Orioles return home to play Toronto on MASN2.
Saturday on FOX, you'll get either the Yankees at Angels or Cardinals at Cubs. ESPN has the Cardinals and Cubs on the Sunday night game, while the Dodgers visit the Brewers Sunday on TBS.
Hard to believe, but TNT's run covering NASCAR ends Saturday night with the Chicago race.
The Tour de France continues, with coverage on Versus each morning. And highlight shows in the afternoon and night.
Lance Armstrong, you know. The many bike riders in the packs, so close together you wonder how they ride, you don't know. But it can be interesting to watch, especially the mountain stages.
Most of the top golfers are across the Atlantic, getting ready for the British Open. Those who stayed behind will be at the John Deere Classic this weekend on CBS.

Here's my vote
Don Surber commented on the possibility of a Michael Jackson stamp. He offered two choices, just like the Elvis stamp. I really like my choices, especially the last.
That's a best seller.

Good thoughts from Instapundit
Instapundit highlights the battle between Jeff Jarvis and a Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist. Who has more readers?
For almost eight years, I worked at a newspaper with a circulation just over 25,000. But how many people read my weekly sports column? Probably 500 to 1,000, if I was lucky.
Didn't really think about it back in the day (before the internet). But a newspaper is a collection of things various people are interested in, organized in a convenient package. Some like news, some sports and boxscores, some obits, and some (shutter) like the ads.
I attracted sports fans and people I knew in town. After one column, two ladies from my church asked what I meant by "rotisserie baseball." They weren't exactly sure what that column was about, but they read it because I attended their church.
One football season, I was assigned to cover a game between two schools in a neighboring county. We wanted to expand our coverage there. I checked with circulation and found we delivered seven papers across that county. Doubt that game story got much readership.
Our traditional media (newspaper and TV) probably have less reach than they realize or want to disclose. You can track readership on a blog, and see who's coming there from Virginia and who's visiting from Belgium.

Where's my flying car?
Visiting southern West Virginia makes me think of the movie Back to the Future 2. Where's my flying car?
It's only six years from 2015, when the movie was set. Imagine highways in the sky. Sure, the traffic was tough at night and in the rain, but think of the problems they would solve.
We wouldn't have to worry about bridge and road funding. Just put up floating signs and soar over the crumbling infrastructure.
I visited a local grocery store and the costs are higher than interstate-hugging Fishersville. Why? Transportation costs through the mountains. Flying cars and trucks would cut those costs tremendously. You could buy healthier food at cheaper prices. (Fast food costs the same in mountain towns as Fishersville, btw).
West Virginia would be the go-to destination if you had flying cars. No more winding roads and slow trips to get through the state. You'd fly right to the mountaintop house. The eastern part of the state is close enough to D.C. that those ridges would fill up fast.
You want some real progress and green jobs for your stimulus dollars? Flying cars are the answer. What are you waiting on, GM and Chrysler?

Troglopundit's theory
You can't go wrong when you start with this statement from Troglopundit.
The way to get money out of politics is to get politicians out of our lives.

Name game
Just attended an Appalachian League game in Bluefield, WV, between the Orioles and the Danville Braves. It's the lowest pro level, with players years from making the big leagues.
Danville's roster includes-
Daniel Elorriaga-Matra, catcher
Riann Spanjer-Furstenburg, infielder
Robert Hefflinger and Cory Harrilchak, outfielders
Dennis Accomando and Brett Oberholtzer, pitchers
Best of luck guys, but there's a bunch of writers, announcers and people who stitch names on uniforms who aren't rooting that hard for you. Riann, that's 18 characters on the back of your uniform. Are your shoulders big enough?

Along with the Other McCain, Instapundit offers a gloomy economic news roundup.

Ahead of the curve
Troglopundit found the best site of the day - the Michael Jackson Sighting Society.
Something to look forward to for the next - 30 - years.
I haven't seen Elvis since his appearance on "Fairly Oddparents," chatting with Cosmo from his secret beach lair.

Trumpet or not to trumpet
The Shad Plank asks an interesting question - should the Republicans trumpet today's poll as good news, considering the source. The polling company leans Democratic and may bring forth less pleasant numbers later.
First thought is - Ain't no stoppin' us now, it's on to victory in November for the big three.
Second thought is - we've got momentum, and let's ride the momentum right now.
But the race will grow tighter, and Public Policy Polling may lean toward Deeds in the fall. How should the Republicans respond to those polls.

But the race will grow tighter, and Public Policy Polling may lean toward Deeds in the fall. How should the Republicans respond to those polls.
1. Hey, they'll be another poll tomorrow.
2. Squirrel!! (works for those who saw "Up" recently).
3. PPP was good in July. I don't know what happened to them since.
4. "As we battle with Terry McAuliffe... What?... Those polls that had him leading in April were wrong?... Imagine that. Maybe this poll's not on the right track either."
RPV chair Pat Mullins said it's a marathon and not a sprint. Like the Tour de France now going on, it takes endurance and teamwork. But it's also good to celebrate your stage win and have your picture taken with pretty girls.
She ain't no quitter
I see the headline "Palin is not a quitter" and think of Shania Twain's song from her Greatest Hits album "I ain't no quitter."
Odd link roundup
Every once and a while, Jonah Goldberg uses his posts on NRO's Corner to highlight various odd links around the internet. Today, it includes manly movie deaths and a Mickey Mouse gas mask from World War II.
Gotta love the British press
Via Drudge Report, a detailed report from the Mirror in London about Michael Jackson's brain. Everything you wanted to know about autopsies of the brain and what happens with the brain when the examination is done.
And a reminder that Jackson played the Scarecrow in the Wiz.

Kristol's diagnosis
Bill Kristol goes to the political DMS4 to diagnose and explain Palin panic.
The hostility of the GOP establishment may be an obstacle to her success. On the other hand, given the performance of GOP operatives and pols over the past few years, maybe their opposition isn't a bad thing.
If you're not sure what Sarah Palin is doing, just talk about Michael Jackson.

Ross Douthat meets Taylor Swift
Ross wrote "She should have said no."
Taylor sings "Should've said no."
Combine them, and you have a parody in honor of Sarah Palin. (In the video, it will be snow falling at the end instead of a stream of water.)
It’s strange to think ‘bout what might have been
The speeches, debates, a McCain win: it's gone
The other day I said I was through
The pundits have no clue; seems wrong
Too bad I can’t take it all back, have another chance
They looked for my weakness when I said yes…
I should've said no
I should've stayed home
I should've thought twice when he called on the phone
I should've known the herd, searching for bad words, would trample me
It should have been there in the back of my mind
I shouldn’t have been hung out to dry
The liberals won’t be asking for my forgiveness in the street
If I’d only said no, and then I’d still talk policy
You may think that I’ve been crying
And you think you know the right things: to say
But do you honestly expect me to turn my cheek
When you’re dishing all this crap…
You say that my career is now past, I had one chance
They looked for my weakness when I said yes….

Just because you don't know what Sarah Palin is doing
doesn't mean that she doesn't know what she's doing

College in the 80s
In 1983-84, I was a member of College Republicans and worked for the college newspaper. When I found out there was going to be a "silent protest" against nuclear arms, I helped arrange a counter-protest "Honk if you are for Peace through Strength" on the road passing campus.
And as assistant news editor, I put the pictures of both protests in the paper.
We now see what the president was doing in the same timeframe.

Quitting syndrome
We will Rock Dem tries to rock Bob McDonnell and Sarah Palin for quitting. Where did this quitting syndrome come from?
The first big political resignation I remember was Bob Dole in 1996. He left the Senate in June to focus on his presidential run, saying he was going either to the White House or home. Of course, he lost and stayed in Washington and did Viagra commercials.
One of the reasons he quit was Democratic compliants. They complained he was being partisan instead of doing what was best for the country. (Was Bill Clinton being partisan as president? Of course.)
Now, everywhere you look, politicians are either resigning to run for higher office (Brian Moran also) or being hit for pushing their electoral interest ahead of the people.
You get hit harder either way. Best to do what you think is right and be proud.
UPDATE: Linked on the Washington Post's Race to Richmond page.

Inspired by Troglopundit
While out at the family picnic, the blog had a good traffic day - thanks to Rule 5 Sunday. Lots of people wanted to see the new Miss Virginia.
Have to tip my hat to Troglopundit. Through the Carrie Prejean fuss, he would run pictures of the Wisconsin Miss USA contestant along with Carrie. Just for the news value, of course.
The new Miss Virginia was crowned June 27, too late for that weekend's Rule 5 submission. But perfect for the Fourth of July weekend. Good for state pride.

Super Palin roundup
Instapundit keeps the Palin fires burning.
1. Is she thinking of fronting the Tea Party?
2. Links to Rush's comments to Radio Equalizer.
3. Or is she just Al Gore for the Right?

Circle of life, pool division
About forty years ago, my grandmother had a pool in the backyard. The young man who was going to marry my aunt would entertain us grandkids by making big splashes and whale-type sounds in the water.
That young man now has five grandchildren of his own. And Sunday at the family picnic, they were in the pool. They were chanting for the newest young man to join the family to splash around and entertain them.
The pool at my grandmother's house is long gone. Another aunt and uncle are now hosting the family gathering. But the little kids still enjoy being entertained. And another young man has stepped up to provide the enjoyment.

Andrea Mitchell in Alaska
Watching Andrea Mitchell report from Wasilla, I wondered, "Why didn't Sarah Palin announce her change of plans before a blizzard?" Hope Andrea enjoyed spending her holiday heading to the 49th state.
What's the old saying - "Those who talk don't know and those who know aren't talking."
They need to watch some KFC commercials and UNthink.

Fireworks make jealous reporters anxious
It's a three-day Independence Day weekend. Everybody left for the beach Thursday night.
Not me. Today is the family picnic for my family, three generations gathering for food and swimming at my aunt and uncle's.
But the weekend won't be complete without some roundup action.
Athens Runaway kicks off the roundup on the Ohio side.
Three Beers Later got a jump on the weekend with Rule 5 Tuesday, highlighting Sarah Palin's profile in Runners World.
Carol puts the NoSheeplesHere roundup into orbit on Friday. And I'm not being a blog-itute in saying that.
Troglopundit celebrates the Fourth with Rule 5.
Paco brings out the roundup from the Blair family and some more Rule 5 action from the 40s.
At the Other McCain, Smitty hits reset on a FMJRA roundup full of Palin news.
Down Louisiana way, where's it's going to be 103 degrees for the Tea Party, here's the roundup from Shreveport.
Daley Gator munches a big part of the blogosphere in his roundup.
American Power was ready to highlight Sarah Palin's Runner's World article. And he still brings the best condensed blogroll post.
Generation Patriot adds a roundup despite a busy schedule.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Make sure to fly the flag. And be careful out there (check out last picture).
