Hearty congratulations to Doug McLennan, pioneer web chronicler of the arts. He is artsjournal.com‘s founder, commander-in-chief and unfailingly patient rescuer of digitally challenged bloggers like me. Terry Teachout, who has been aboard nearly the whole time, reminds me by way of his blog that artsjournal.com is ten years old this week. Five years ago, Terry suggested that I do a blog and introduced me to McLennan. Doug let me under his umbrella into the company of a remarkable stable of arts experts. I am deeply grateful to him and Terry. For Doug’s thoughts on the occasion, go here. Best wishes to him for many more years of shedding light on the arts.
