WE ARE ALWAYS pleased to learn of a new post on Professor Palmer’s most interesting blog, the Avia-Corner. It is the first place one would turn in order to learn about the often murky world of Soviet aviation. However, his latest rant — there is unfortunately no other word for it — caught us by […]
[Cross-posted at Revise and Dissent.] With the inaugural Military History Carnival coming up, it seems like a good time to ask: what does the military historioblogosphere look like? The obvious answer to that is another question: what on Earth is a military historioblogosphere anyway? Well, ‘historioblogosphere’ is just a silly word I invented to describe
[Cross-posted at Revise and Dissent.] Last month, I mentioned Gavin Robinson’s proposal for a military history carnival. He’s now dropped a note in comments with details of the first Military History Carnival: Everything is ready to go now.

Now that I’ve finally undone the damage WordPress 2.1 did to my sidebar (My Link Order was the answer), it’s time to add a few blogs to it.

Firstly, William Turkel of Digital History Hacks tagged me with 5 Things. Then Dave Davisson, the Patahistorian,1 independently tagged me with the same meme. Finally, Kevin
[Cross-posted at Revise and Dissent.] At Investigations of a Dog, Gavin Robinson has proposed organising a military history carnival, which I think is a great idea. It would aim to gather together the best posts on the history of war in all its facets — not just military operations (AKA “fighting”), but also how war
Gazza of The Millwall History Files has weighed in on last year’s post discussing his claim that a famous photo from the Blitz is a propaganda fake. Check it out!
Jack McGowan of Smashing the Window has some very interesting reflections on his experiences in seeing his first paper through to being accepted for publication (congrats!). A timely read for me, as I start to think about doing this myself. While I’m on the matter of writing advice, here’s a chance to use the WordPress
The winners of the 2006 Cliopatria Awards for the best history blogs are out. This time, three of the winning blogs are already on my sidebar: Digital History Hacks (Best New Blog), Chris Bray at Cliopatria (Best Series of Posts), and Alan Baumler at Frog in a Well (Best Writer). As I did last year,
