They do sometimes. But I think the idea is that they can have power within the major parties (particularly the Democrats) if they become powerful enough, which has happened in New York. And they do sometimes run candidates against Democrats they don’t like.

So why does the WFP want electoral fusion badly? Can’t they just run candidates on their own?

Vermont does have a Green Party, except they don’t have an official website: http://www.campusactivism.org/displaygroups-1928.htm

At GPW, I think they have the same template but their names show up all the time. We should ask them.

Kim,

It sure does have to do with the wordpress template. I’ve tried to change it, with no luck.

Richard,

Sorry for miss. We’ll give you some link-love later this week.

As was pointed out: The settings for this website happen to be that every article is automatically posted with a summary on the main page.

In addition, the author is on that summary on the main page. You can always click back to the front/main page and find it.

But, on the full article page, the byline is not there.

I think it would be cool if that could get fixed. But, I am guessing that it has to do with the wordpress template, and it could be difficult or impossible to fix without technical help.

So, for now, I think it is up to a reader who wants the information to click back.

“Sometimes there is a byline for who posted something and sometimes there isn’t. What’s the difference? ”

Journalism 201: An article with out byline implies that the unit is an official, organizational stand! A byline implies a personal not organizational imput or a personal imput via a second personal transmission. Hello, hello!

There’s a byline on the main page but not anywhere else. Not sure what’s up with that.

No need to apologize, Richard, and thanks for pointing it out. BTW, sometimes there is a byline for who posted something and sometimes there isn’t. What’s the difference? I’d think it best practice to always have a note of who posted a particular item… many blogs of just one person do that, let alone a group site like this one.

He emailed it to us and that’s where I saw it first. Sorry Richard.

I can’t avoid sounding petty, so I’m reconciled to that problem. How come D.Eris gets the hat tip when I reported it at Ballot Access News on November 16?
