This isn't going to be a popular diary, and that's fine, but I think it's important to get this perspective out there.
From September 2006-October 2007, I ran a community blog using SoapBlox software. My site had about two dozen front-page authors, over 600 user accounts, and was a member of the Liberal Blog Advertising Network. Over the course of the thirteen months in which I used SoapBlox, about two thousand diaries and front-page stories were posted on my site.
