Well, I’m back from North Carolina and the guest bloggers have gone away, so I’d like to say thanks to an excellent team for some excellent work. Hopefully those of you on the other side of the intertubes liked some of what you read and will follow these writers in the future.

It might be nice to post links so that we can keep following the ones that we liked.
May 31st, 2008 at 4:06 pm
I agree with Anonymous.

Will you now give props to Doc Rivers?

Indeed, that’s how I started reading MattY in the first place, when he guest blogged for TalkingPointsMemo, specifically the whole social security debate stuff. I don’t even read TPM anymore. What was that 2003?

Darn, now the typo-to-post ratio is going to skyrocket again, isn’t it?
May 31st, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Thanks for opening things up to a great crew, Matt — and thanks to all for great posts. Hopefully you’ll continue to have diverse guest bloggers from time to time in the future! And yeah, totally agreed with Anonymous — posting some links to help make it easier for us to track them would be real cool.

next time coordinate your outage with Kevin Drum. With due respect to the aspiring blogger replacements, I must say that both his and your sites have been horrible in the principals’ absences.
May 31st, 2008 at 6:33 pm
I really enjoyed the guest bloggers, especially the “G Spot” blogger and Ta Nehisi (sp?), and hope you’ll provide links to their sites. (You’re good too! Welcome back.)
May 31st, 2008 at 7:33 pm
I was particularly impressed by Ta-Neishi…
May 31st, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Yes, links would be appreciated… Matt?

Your guest bloggers sucked. On the plus side I did get more work done by not wasting time here.
Glad you made it home safely.

I liked to posts written by some of your guest bloggers more than I liked posts written by some others, which I guess indicates that I have opinions. On the other hand, beowolf is just being deliberately unkind.
But I would suggest that you link to your guestbloggers’ blogs. On that subject, your blogroll is quite small, has curious omissions (it doesn’t link Spencer Ackerman, for example) and out of date (the TAPPED and Ezra Klein links are obsolete, although Ezra forwards his).
More to the point, your blogroll doesn’t include your guestbloggers, let alone highlight them as past guestbloggers, which would seem appropriate.

Your guest bloggers were all excellent, and each contributed, in my opinion, at least one post that warranted “blog post gem” status.
Ta Nehisi was particularly on fire, and I would like to follow his work, so hopefully this site will tell us how to keep tabs on him and all the other guests.

Since everyone knows that Matthew does not, as a rule, visibly respond to blog comments (although he does insist that he reads them, which I guess we’ll just have to assume is true), I’ll help out here:
Matt’s post listing his guest bloggers is here, and from it and in the order given there the guest bloggers’ sites are:
Kay Steiger
Alyssa Rosenberg had no blog linked
Kathy G
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Isaac Chotiner had no blog linked
June 1st, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Ta-Nehisi Coates is a keeper, and duly bookmarked!
June 2nd, 2008 at 10:14 am
Ta-Nehisi Coates was really good — a bit like the old time “Big Media Matt”.

My fellow on Orkut shared this link with me and I’m not dissapointed that I came here.
