Want to write about Virginia?
Over the last few days, Dave Murphy has posted several articles on transit and highways in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties. Cavan Wilk writes frequently about development and land use, particularly around Wheaton. Meanwhile, many transportation and development debates are happening in Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax and Loudoun, but we’re not… Keep reading…

Morning links or evening?
I’m curious: sometimes I post sets of links in the morning, sometimes in the evening. Should I standardize? What’s the best time of day for you to get a post with a lot of individual news stories to click through to? Is it better to see them as you get home at the end of the day, or first thing in the morning? I suppose if I post them in the evening, they’re still there in the… Keep reading…

France
I’m off to France for a week, enjoying DC’s sister city of Paris and then barging down a canal in Burgundy.

New comment preview function
You can now preview your comments before you post them. I’ve tested it, but there may still be bugs; if you encounter an error, please don’t just assume I know. Email me or post the error as a comment on this post. Keep reading…

Post summaries for older posts and emails?
Some blogs, like DCist, now show a more condensed version of posts older than the last few. Should Greater Greater Washington adopt that system? I’ve created a script to generate one possibility here. Should the home page look like that? Are the summaries too short? Too long? Not colorful enough? Keep reading…

I could have sued MediaBistro for $150,000
Last week, alert reader c5karl noticed that MediaBistro had created house ads using my WMATA 2030 map. That map, like everything else on this site, is under a Creative Commons license. A CC license lets me allow people to use my content in certain cases but still withhold permission in other cases. The license I’m using allows reusing my content and images as long as people give… Keep reading…
