WebWarrior: ‘Buffoon’ of D=S (Updated with new URL)

UPDATE: Buffoon’s new blog is at DequalsS.blogspot.com (Something about being tired of Wordpress updates…)

Last year I received the funniest e-mail.

A reader was writing to let me know that the Ft. Hard Knox logo we were using at the time looked all “pixely,” and that he’d taken it upon himself to create a new one for us.

Huh ?!

I didn’t even know what to think about that, but the sample logo he’d created was really good. I wrote back, and explained to him that we were working with a zero budget, and that we were all volunteers…he assured me he didn’t want to be paid. (Apparently, he just couldn’t stand looking at my stock photo modified in Microsoft Paint any longer.) Since then, he has worked back and forth with me many times to modify our various logoas as needed and to create the logo we’re using now, and has continued to help us with graphics that the project has needed as we’ve gone along. He’s kept us “looking good.”

So, who was this audacious reader? He goes by “Buffoon,” and has his own blog, Democrat = Socialist: Unhinged, Unashamed, Unfiltered, Right Wing Punditry (or D=S for short). The blog is not for readers with senstive ears (or eyes); there’s no question, however, about which side he’s on or what he (and his his “agitators“) stand for.

In the short period of time Buffoon’s been blogging, he’s already attained a Google Page Rank of 4/10, and a Technorati rating of 195 (excellent!), through aggressively and effectively using social networking techniques, and by posting original, entertaining blog content that other bloggers enjoy linking to.

We are very thankful for ‘Buffoon’s,’ (an amusing misnomer) help on the Ft. Hard Knox project, and for his contribution to the conservative right blogosphere. He is this week’s WebWarrior.

If you’d like to nominate a “WebWarrior” (a conservative using Web 2.0 effectively) e-mail Jenn.
