RTB Administrative notes
Here’s some assurance that despite South Knox Bubba’s departure from the blogosphere that the RTB will live on. I don’t have everyone’s email address yet. Once I do, I’ll send out announcements once we finalize plans.
First, Barry reminds us that he maintains the RTB blogroll. And that he’s willing to help.
Next, Just John has established a Rocky Top Brigade website. And has agreed to be the technical arm.
I can assure you the three of us are working on getting it up and running. So don’t panic. A few things:
I don’t want membership to be political. Membership will entail the following characteristics:
1 You’re from Tennessee.
2 You have a blog.
3 You link to the RTB page.
Pretty simple, eh?
Also, Bubba has given me (anyone, really) permission to use what others thought was his copyrighted RTB material (like The Constitution, graphics, etc.).
We will try to establish a mailing list.
I envision the page to have links to RTB members and other Tennessee related program activities on the left and the main body of the page to have a sampling of posts from RTB members (similar to Bubba’s RTB Sampler).
Any suggestions/comments/volunteering are welcome in comments.
And go read Rich’s farewell to Bubba. Those two didn’t always get along but there’s respect there.

Working on it

SKB told me a few months ago that maintaining the RTB and Sampler required a lot of work. Not being a techie I can only imagine. Thanks for taking those on.

Thanks for taking this on, it is appreciated. The RTB was / is a unique and special part of the blogosphere and it deserves to continue. Thank you for your work, your time, your commitment, and your work.
We emailed you with our details and we look forward to the future with you all at the helm. If you need any help do not hesitate to ask and we will do what we can.

Hi, Uncle. Sorry I haven’t been around for awhile, and shame on me for only this evening discovering that Bubba has left the internets. Damn! Anyway, yes, I would hope the RTB can carry on.
Even more than that I hope Bubba comes back!
