I don&#8217;t mind that the defunct HNN group blogs (Cliopatria, Liberty and Power, etc.) aren&#8217;t mentioned, or early (if now quieter) special topics blogs (Frog in a Well, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chapatimystery.com\/\">Chapati Mystery<\/a>) aren&#8217;t mentioned&#8230; actually, I kinda do. <a href=\"http:\/\/notchesblog.com\/\"><em>NOTCHES<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/earlyamericanists.com\/\">The Junto<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/s-usih.org\/\">S-USIH blog<\/a> are all excellent projects (as are <a href=\"http:\/\/activehistory.ca\/\">Active History Canada<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ussporthistory.com\/\">Sport in American History<\/a>, which aren&#8217;t mentioned) though they don&#8217;t submit stuff to the History Carnival, another phenomenon too old to attract the attention of the AHA bloggers&#8230; ok, enough ranting. It&#8217;s a decent discussion of the professionalization issue (&#8220;recreational&#8221; was how one department chair described my blogging), just a wee bit foreshortened.
