News, Views, and Miscellaneous from the Middle-earth Minutes Podcast
We have had this blog at Posterous for a while now and had, in the past, used it under the name Middle-earth Seconds. It was the "little brother" of Middle-earth Minutes where we'd post short audio clips (crudely recorded on an iPod) of This Day In Middle-earth. Well, with the most recent changes in the MEM podcast this seemed like the perfect place to keep an all encompassing blog - where we can post thoughts and ideas about all things Tolkien, or announcements, pictures, etc. from the MEM studio.
"Why not just post these things on the Middle-earth Minutes website?", you may ask. We'd like to keep that as strictly the home base of the podcast. That way new visitors that land on the main page for the 1st time will see that each post includes audio from the latest MEM podcast. If they enjoy what they hear enough to be a regular visitor, and even friend us on the Middle-earth Minutes Facebook page or follow us on Twitter, they will then have the chance to see these posts from the blog. These will (if all works as it should) be disseminated to the aforementioned two services.
So the new name of this site is Middle-earth Minutes Blog, and we hope that you find some enjoyment from it. For the most part we will not be re-blogging news stories; we do that on the Twitter account. Though we may offer commentary on the stories that we don't cover on the podcast. We have some fun ideas, though.
Until next time - Test over.
