To all the loyal readers of The Eagle Blog,
It is over. This year the Eagle, the paper formerly behind this fine blog has decided to cease TheEagleBlog.com. This year the Eagle has blogs on Technology, AU Sports, and the paper itself. On top of this crippling of the website, GoDaddy.com has the domain up for auction. For a minimum of $110 this web address could be all yours.
While the last paragraph was quite sad you can breathe a little easier to know that the blog will still be around. TheEagleBlog.com is now TheEagleBlog.WordPress.com (unless someone wants to buy back the domain name…Just throwing it out there…Please).
With the Eagle’s new blogging format there is no longer a blog doing community coverage. This makes the Eagle the only DC university paper with no such blog. The site has no staff as of yet but several people have inquired about keeping this fine news service alive. If you would have any ideas as to a possible new format for the blog please do write in. The idea here would be to continue under a new name, possibly new format, but still do what this blog did so well all of last year, cover the American University community from a blogger’s view.
With all this said, it should be noted that this blog has been a great experience and one not forgotten soon. Thank you for all of your support and thank you to the DC blog community for such strong support, it was always nice to hear from the blogs respected here so much and to know that respect was mutual.
On behalf of all those who have worked on this blog, thank you and goodbye…For now…

What a shame. This was a great blog, though, and I’m sure it can be again. While I’m not exactly sure what you mean by all this (is the blog splitting from the Eagle?), let me know when something happens and Vox Populi will definitely give you link love.
