Hello,

Blogs are a familiar feature on the internet - where users post content in an accumulating manner, with comments, and search options, etc. They facilitate expression and exploration, and via attached comments, also debate and synthesis.


Reading and
Navigating Blogs

Our blogs are quite powerful. Each writer can post, as is typically the case. Sustainers who have the option can also post, however. All Blogs appear in the blog system, and sometimes also in content boxes the top page of ZNet - and always via the left menu of the top page - and can be found via searches, etc.

Commenting on blogs follows the blogs, attached at the bottom, and blog comments, like all others, are also visible in many places that show comments including in the forum system. In addition, the entire blog system gathers content for everyone - but one can look at the accumulating content in many ways.

  • For example one can look at one writer's efforts - so one is seeing what is effectively a blog system for that one writer, or Sustainer.
  • One can also look at the content by topic, seeing blogs that are tagged as being about a certain topic - or place, as well. Thus, when doing that, it is a blog system about a topic, or a place, with many contributors.
  • One can look at only writer blogs, or only sustainer blogs, as well.
  • One can look at blogs for particular Groups, too.

All this is easily done using the left menu. Searches allow even more variables and refinements.


Creating Blog Posts

If you are a Sustainer with permission, and are logged in, you will see a link in the left menu for you to post a blog - and you can use that to post one, and then tag it various ways (such as with a topic or place, or a group tag), and once you do, it is in the system with you as the author.

You can also use the console button to the left to post a blog - anytime and from anywhere in the site, as long as you are logged in.

Meanwhile, enjoy the blogs - and, by the way, if you are a Free Member or a Sustainer with a ZSpace page, of course you can put one or more content boxes on it, pulling blog links of any sort you may want to filter for, for example, by you or by your friends or by others - and by topic, about places, for groups, etc.

Vancouver Parecon Collective Interviews The International Noise Conspiracy

By Chris Spannos at May 30, 2006


Change Text Size a- | A+
On May 20th major label recording artists and radical Leftists The International Noise Conspiracy began their very first headlining tour across Canada. The band is from Sweden and their first Canadian stop was in Vancouver at the Plaza Club. They formed in 1998 and their music has been described as "punk rock played like 70's hard rock or the other way around, with lyrics straight from the heart and straight to the point." The Vancouver Parecon Collective caught up with singer Dennis Lyxzen during their sound check to discuss the bands inception, rock & roll, punk rock, politics, art, the affect of capitalism on music and challenges faced in advancing social change. The interview between these two anti-capitalist groups can be heard on-line this Saturday June 3, 11:40am (PST) on Vancouver Coop Radio CFRO 102.7FM. You can tune in and listen on-line by going here. Enjoy!

Parecon is a unique

By Rehab, Drug at Sep 18, 2007 13:00 PM

Parecon is a unique alternative economic system. It is very different from "free" markets or central planning, or any variant of "socialism." Unlike other economic systems, parecon is designed to promote self-management, solidarity, diversity, and equity. This is done through true democracy in the workplace and a unique democratic participatory allocation system.

The International Noise Conspiracy goes religious?

By Kissenger, Clark at Sep 25, 2006 16:56 PM

How do you relate this to The International Noise Conspiracy? Do you consider their music as an extension of The temple of love?

It's the Humans

By Kissenger, Clark at Jun 28, 2006 12:56 PM

Capitalism does not work and Socialism does not work because we have humans running them.
