Just a brief note on what we publish, how, and why, seems in order.

First of all, we're a part of the Progressive netroots. As the oldest and largest statewide Progressive blog, that's clear. Most of the time, by choice or default, we'll support the netroots position or candidate. In New York especially, with its cynical and deeply corrupt political culture, enmeshed in our state's version of the Washington Beltway, saturated with dysfunction and insider/outsider narratives, the netroots are a breath of fresh air in a very stagnant smoke-filled room filled with jaded, bitter, and old practitioners of the conventional wisdom.

That said, there is no one single editorial line. We are a forum for debate. We are not, contrary to what some might say, shills. Our support, if its to be extended, is conditional. Some of our writers may indeed be rather more critical than you'd expect.  read more »

It is a mixed blessing for me to be not just a writer but a web developer. If I didn't have a life with two children, I would have already posted the littany of articles I have dealing with political issues and opinions on policy that I have on queue at moment. Alas, there are so many hours in a day for a working mom like.

This Friday 27th of April I will be taking The Daily Gotham offline at 10:30pm to work on the site's system upgrade.

After much discussion and deliberation I am upgrading the site from a now almost defunct CivicSpace distribution of Drupal to a custom culturekitchen distribution based on Drupal 4.7, along with a cleaner and easier to use interface based on Michael Bouldin's DailyGotham design.

How can you help?

I had no idea why people were having such a hard time getting to the blogging features. Well, f*&^K that's because the navigation box went missing during the redesign.

Sigh.

I apologize for any confusion this might have caused.

Anything else in need of tweaking?

I have no idea how it got fixed, but y'all should be able to take the poll, blog, update the calendar, open a forum debate, write articles and leave comments without a hitch.

Carry on.
