A new political blog American Catholic is now on the air and has multiple contributors.

In addition Another Theology Blog is also on the air.

There is an interesting new Catholics social networking bookmarking site called PickAFig (no idea about the name) that sort of like digg to allow you to submit stories and to have others vote on them.  The interface needs some work but it pretty much brand new.  It would be nice for it to work out so users of it can tag news stories and blog posts that will be of interest to other Catholics.

Kathy Shaidle linked to this today.  I say congratulations to the first Catholic blogger who today celebrates eight years of blogging that started at RelapsedCatholic and continues at Five Feet of Fury.

New catechetical blog.

There is a new site  with a group blog that will feature Danille Bean, Rachel Balducci, Lisa Hendey, Rebecca Teti, and Arwen Mosher so with that line up promises to be quite worthwhile.

Family life is hard work, and those of us who strive to live Catholic family lives can face unique challenges. As we help each other along the way, we hope that our magazine and blog will affirm something that is already written on every mother's heart: That motherhood is a privilege. That family life is a joy. And that though being a wife and mother is likely to be the single most challenging thing any of us ever do, it is also likely to be the single most important thing any of us ever do as well. We invite you to pray, laugh, cry, and share the good and the bad right along with us. We hope that you will join us as we work toward building a Christ-centered community where we can encourage and support one another in the joyful, challenging, important work of Catholic living

The blog of Family Life International New Zealand called Semper Vita is also fairly new and concerns philosophical musings on life, sexuality, marriage and family

I fixed a problem with my blog that appeared only in Internet Explorer 6. Some people are forced to use this browser in libraries or at work. If you are not being forced to use Internet Explorer 6 at least upgrade to IE 7, better yet to Firefox.

Luckily I was able to use VMWare Fusion on my Mac and load a fresh copy of Windows XP that had Internet Explorer 6 in it to track down the problem. It turned out that some images in the sidebar were a couple pixels larger than the width of the sidebar causing Internet Explorer 6's rendering engine to misplace the second column.
