As part of a blatant attempt to direct attention towards my blog “View from the Bog” I am introducing a new category of post called “Bogview.” These posts will provide notice of a new post on “Bog” with a brief summary of its contents. I assert here that I am receiving no financial recompense from myself for this shameless act of self promotion. My services to myself are being provided gratis out of the goodness of my Heathen heart.

Because I am so selflessly devoted to the environment and do not believe in wasting blank white pieces of nonexistent cyberpaper, I will cause this post to double as my first announcement:
