Lookout blogosphere, there’s a new kid on the block. Or, more accurately, five old kids and one new kid, all milling around suscipiciously on a different street corner.

The Mad Poets Blog, an offshoot of the Mad Poets Society’s main web page, has been a while in the making. It includes a wicked-cool sidebar events calendar and regular contributions from po-bloggers Anna Evans, Rachel Bunting, Ashraf Osman, G. Emil Reutter, and yours truly. Eileen D’Angelo, the MPS Director and self-professed technophobe, will hopefully join us in the bloggery goodness once I convince her how easy WordPress actually is.

To say that I’m excited is an absolute understatement. You should totally check it out: There’ll be MPS news, ongoing poetry discussion, reviews, interviews, etc. etc. etc.

And as always, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the Little Mister, who saw the gobbledygook that was passing for code in the WP theme I was using and just decided to recreate the entire thing (in a matter of hours, by the way!) so that it would be easier for me to use/edit in the long run. And it is!
