Feel free to ping us (online) or me (offline) for any way we can help.
Considering you are blogging within a collective, you do not need to
worry too much about certain things: getting listed in technorati,
setting up generic feeds and email feeds, tracking viewership, etc, etc.

I do not know what platform HuffPo is using, but hopefully it has a
standard API (Metaweblog, MT, etc). If it does, you may find it easier
to compose your posts using an external blog editor such as Windows Live
Writer or Qumana (both of which are free).

Note that the specific URL for your posts seems to be:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-weisbrot-and-robert-naiman/

Correct me if that is wrong. For some reason it shows your "welcome"
post twice, one timed 4:02pm and the other 4:08pm.

The "RSS" feed link on the page is a generic feed (not specific to your
posts alone). I was not able to cajole the server to give me a specific
feed to your posts, in a few tries...

You could technically start tracking on the URL specific to you (I have
posted that above), though I am not sure what HuffPo's policy is on that.
