Andris Birkmanis:
No, the deadline is 15 days starting on Nov19.

So I still hope you will be able to honor your pledge :)

Ah, well that's good news. Yes, I hope I will too.

And BTW, it is never too late to join. If you have an interesting idea for an article or two - why not to test it on that blog?

Hey folks, I had pledged some time ago but things have come up, and I haven't had the time to write anything. The deadline is still tonight? If so, count me out on that one. Let me know if I've missed the boat altogether, or if I could still contribute in future. Thanks.

Last time your name was mentioned on this thread it had "expressed interest short of pledging" next to it. Let's wait for Marko to resolve this.

Hope no feelings were hurt.

I guess or I wouldn't have joined the forum.

I guess as soon as you pledge :)

Or have you already?

When will I be allowed to view what's in the "private" area?

Marko:

One caveat though: you need to explain to me how to access and use this blog. I have a little experience with Wordpress but I know next to nothing about other systems.

Sure we will, just sign up at mcb.boards.net.

I signed up at the forum, but I don't have the group access to discuss the blog with ya'll. Help?

You do now.

I signed up and I am waiting for group access.

"Hmm maybe you should clarify what beginner means to you? Btw I don't think you've ever heard any of these Austrian retorts."

I most likely have, but at any rate, beginner to me means someone who hasn't delved too deep into these issues, or read very extensively about them.

"You shouldn't have to learn much about mainstream economics if you're advanced, imo."

Why? You need to know what you're criticizing.

Your previous post sounds like a beginner post to me, to you I guess that means intermediate.

If you've heard of the G-spot critique and Austrian solution you're somewhat advanced. ;]

I must have a different standard for what "beginner" is. Nevertheless I suggest Murphy vs Krugs, because that was fun to read.

Mises Media has good stuff but oftentimes they're going over basic things for people who haven't heard them yet.

I'm also shocked and mildly offended at being referred to as "a beginner". Suffice it to say that I am not.

Hmm maybe you should clarify what beginner means to you? Btw I don't think you've ever heard any of these Austrian retorts.

The previous post I made provides you with Austrian charts, critiques the "G-spot", critiques the Hayek triangle, displays monetary cycle statistics pre-Fed etc. You shouldn't have to learn much about mainstream economics if you're advanced, imo.
