CHECK OUT THE UPDATED BLOGROLL!

I have been meaning to update the blogroll for some time, adding new links and removing those that have been idle for some time or have changed URL addresses. A couple of items worth noting:

--- The addition of Tampa Film Fan, a blog which focuses on new films and the movie scene in the Tampa Bay area. I'm looking forward to seeing Laura's take on the new motion picture take on War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise and directed by Steven Spielberg.

Actually, the best version of the H.G. Wells classic is the musical presentation released in 1978 by Jeff Wayne, son of singer/actor/musical producer Jerry Wayne. The project featured the vocal talents of Richard Burton as the Journalist who tells the story of the Marsian invasion, as well as the performances of David Essex, London West End stage star Julie Covington, Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott, and Moody Blues vocalist Justin Hayward. While it is a musical treatment, it remains fairly true to the original story.

--- A couple of finds thanks to Tommy at Sticks of Fire: One new blog from the Davis Islands area, Driving Down the Highway of Life in a Dodge, an interesting site featuring personal observations, and a blog for drama addicts at Tampa Bay Drama King.

--- Laura's Place is a reconstituted blog which used to be known as simply This Space For Rent, and the address has been moved to be a part of her personal Web site. Also changing addresses is the Weblog for former Tampa Bay radio talk show host Bob Lassiter

--- A couple of sites have been dropped because there has been no activity at them for at least a few weeks, so I have to presume that they have ended their blogging efforts, at least for now.

It's always good to know that the Tampa Bay area --- and the I-4 Corridor in general --- has become such an active area for blogs of all types.

And on a more personal note, thanks to a couple of fellow bloggers at Florida Politics and Florida News for their positive mentions recently. I am honored to be noticed by them, both fine blogs on their own, and appreciate the notices.
