My Year at the Huffington Post

I started blogging at the Huffington Post last August and I've enjoyed writing for their broader audience; experimenting with interviews, slide shows, and videos; and figuring out what will be of particular interest. Looking back through my archive, a few posts stand out to me for one reason or another.

Not surprisingly, celebrities and controversies got the most attention:

What to Do About Classical Books that Are Racist
There's Good News and Good News About Picture Books
My Response to Neil Gaiman's Modest Proposal
Did Snookie Bump Children's Book Award Winners from the Today Show?

I've appreciated having a chance to get the word out about authors and books, these among many others:


What is David Macaulay Up To?
A Book About Children's Books for Book Loving Adults
Anita Silvey's Book-A-Day Almanac
Along Came Spider: Michael Sims' The Story of Charlotte's Web
Diana Wynne Jones: An Appreciation

Then it is fun to to do the occasional oddball post, say:


Jane Austen Goes to the Super Bowl with Rosanne Cash
Top Ten Reasons to See How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying


And, finally, I have taken the opportunity to occasionally hold forth as a teacher:


School's Back; So's Homework
Bye-Bye Summer Reading Blues
A Young Teacher
