Based on advice from Rachel Lucas, I may try to set this "magazine" up using Moveable Type.
Still waiting for some more information on Blogger Pro and paying for ad free blogspot, etc.
Radioland under the Salon umbrella is also an option...if Salon will put a "Blogs" option in their
menu so that readers know blogs are accessible there.

But, It will be sometime before that happens. A few conservatives have indicated interest in providing
a conservative opinion column. I hope to find others interested in blogging per se and technology, etc.
