Each brings a new set of opinions and skill sets to the discussion, and as a result this blog should finally grow wings and become a place for Howard fans to check each morning.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, I will begin the process of converting all of the old <em>Cimmerian <\/em>website into this new blog format, with the blog page eventually becoming the main <em>Cimmerian <\/em>homepage. This should allow for a much more content-rich browsing experience, with everything searchable and indexed for readers.<\/p>\n<p>One of the fun new things I&#8217;ve included on this new blog homepage is a Robert E. Howard random quote generator. Each time you visit or refresh, a new Howard quote appears at the top of the screen. Right now there are only a few dozen in the database, but I will be gradually adding more until they represent swaths of inspirational and electric writing spanning the whole of Howard&#8217;s career. If you have any favorites you want to see there, email me with the quote and the name of the story or letter it came from, and I&#8217;ll add it to the database.<\/p>\n<p>Now that this blog is officially on-line, stay tuned for regular updates containing news, reviews, scholarship, and opinions about REH and related genres and writers.
