Since late 2003, when we began focusing on Rational Review News Digest, our “front page blog” has increasingly become a sort of … well … backwater. Other than the occasional announcement, reprint or guest column, there’s not a lot of action there.

Now, however, there’s going to be a lot more action elsewhere on the site. Starting with three names you’ll almost certainly recognize, we’re setting up as a blog home for prominent libertarian authors who’d just as soon leave the admin stuff to someone else. They get web space, a content management “back end,” and someone they actually know to yell at if things don’t work properly. We take a small piece of screen real estate for advertising. Win-win deal!

Earlier this year, L. Neil Smith opened The Moratorium. He’s blogged a few excellent pieces there, and plans to get back to it after November (which he’ll spend on NANOWRIMO).

As of last week, Tibor R. Machan is blogging at A Passion for Liberty.

And as of this morning, J. Neil Schulman is publishing at J. Neil Schulman @ Rational Review.

These authors aren’t writing “for” Rational Review — they have their own independent blogs “@” Rational Review and enjoy complete editorial and artistic freedom. And that’s just the way we like it; we’re exchanging value for value with the authors, and bringing new value to what we offer our (and their) readers. Enjoy, and look for new names in the “@ Rational Review” blogosphere in the near future.

Best regards,
