MilBlogs And Milblogging

A very nice writeup of the subject today from the BBC of all places. They actually covered the recently complete Milblogger Conference in Washington.

Over the course of a day of discussions taking place both in person and online - and, naturally, among a panel of official conference bloggers - participants wrestled with questions about how to blog without violating military security, how much leeway the military should give to bloggers, and how milbloggers could help influence - or force - the mainstream media to cover the war in Iraq better.

I'm not exactly sure if Blue Crab Boulevard counts as a milblog. In a way it is, as part of the reason I write this is to stay in touch with my son. That's also the reason there is a bit of humor on the site. I know it gives him a laugh.
