Since my blog is pretty well brand new, I posted on what I want from my blog - kind of like a blog theme. Hopefully it keeps me on track with what it is I want to accomplish.

Major US Agency Moves Into Publishing. Or Do They?

It seems like the big news stories are coming every day now. That’s what happens when you combine the disruptive power of the internet with a revolutionary change like digital self-publishing.

First, I want to look at what this actually is, and then I will examine whether it is a good idea or not.
