Here’s the good and bad news for all Political Fix readers.

On Sunday, noone — not even I — will be able to post anything new on Political Fix or any other Post-Dispatch blogs. That’s because our crack tech experts here will be putting in place new software and new features on the blog site.

Among the new, WELCOME features:

–Political Fix will FINALLY list a blog roll of other Missouri blogs, both media and independent, with links. (We haven’t been able to previously, because of technical issues that I won’t go into, since they soon will no longer matter.)
For years, many bloggers have nicely displayed links to us. Now we can finally reciprocate. You’ll be able to link from us to John Combest, instead of always vice versa.
(Don’t be upset if your blog isn’t listed initially. I’m adding as I get approval, and as we determine that the content meets our standards. But please email me a note if you want your blog to be considered.)

– You’ll be able to search for past blog posts ONLY on Political Fix. No more wading through all that sports-blog stuff that political junkies don’t care about!! (Just joking, but this search change will help a LOT!)

– We’ll have all of our posts listed by categories, as well as chronologically. You’ll be able to check out, with just a click or two, all our past posts on the governor’s race, or on antics at City Hall or in the Legislature.

– Pictures and VIDEOS will be able to be displayed. Any new shoves involving Kit Wagar will be prominently featured. No more linking to Jason Rosenbaum’s artistically done pieces, simply because we have none of our own. (Just teasing.)
