Weblog Move
The move seems to have mostly smoothly. Importing Blogger entries was not difficult. It helped that I used the bold tags for the post titles, otherwise editing the titles would have been a pain.

I am also moving this weekend to a new apartment. So you’ll have to wait another few days. I… Continue reading Hiatus or Not
The End of the Ottoman Empire
Bill Allison at Ideofact is discussing the idea that we are still finding the Great War (1914-18). He discusses the effect of the end of the Ottoman rule on radical Islamists. It is a typically great series of posts (see this post for the series). In his latest post on the subject, Bill refers to… Continue reading The End of the Ottoman Empire
