Zhongnanhai

Well... we have life.

The blog is up. The layout still sucks, and there are no photos. No fancy "about me" stuff and no logos for the China Blog Awards. Unfortunately I figure I'm too late for that anyway. But thanks to those who voted for us.

(And a big hat-tip to the China Law Blog for suggesting Livingdot.com as a host, and Movable Type.)

You might notice the word "us"... yes, I'm happy to say I have some help. I'll be continuing to to blabber on about whatever is happening, but I have also recruited a couple of others, who have very different writing styles from my own, to contribute as well. I think this site will have a Sinocidal aspect to it, while still (hopefully!) discussing, as my good friend said, "cerebral" issues.

There will be many, many more changes to this blog in the coming weeks, as we tweak the layout, add features, and explain who the different contributors are. Thus, I haven't announced this blog yet on the former incarnation, which is currently behind the GFW.

Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to taking this much more seriously, and having posts from a number of people with a number of different perspectives.

We hope you like it.
