Web Site News - Announcing the Illinois Blogger Community

by Ferdinand T Cat

While at Ogmeet, Leslie of Leslie's Omnibus suggested to Bruce that he set up a community page for local bloggers similar to our Cat Lovers Page. I admit I have reservations about the idea: being owned by a cat is something to brag about, while Illinois has had a boatload of troubles in recent years. Nonetheless, I live here, so that makes it important.

If you want to participate, send an EMAIL to Bruce including your blog name and URL. Then put the following code somewhere on your main page to display the Illinois Blogger Blog Roll:

<p>Illinois Blogger Community</p>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
src="http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?r=2132098f3804324d5c3ddd62493d2e04">
</script>

(Feel free to change the heading if you wish.)

Finally, when you post an article of special interest to Illinois or the Chicagoland area, send a trackback to this URI, which will cause a link to the article and an excerpt to appear on this page.

So, if you're from Illinois, join the fun, and if you're not from Illinois, when you talk to your Illinois friends, tell them about the Illinois Blogger Community. This will get a much more positive response than asking how the Cubs are doing.

Respectfully Submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

Great idea, Ferdy! Sign me up! I'll update my sidebar with the link within the next couple of days and dash off an e-mail when complete!

Bruce, Nate, it was great to meet you guys! Let's do it again some time!

Wow. That was FAST! Many thanks, Bruce

It was wonderful seeing you and Nate on Friday. Nice of Ferdy to let them out of the house! (Give my best to the missus and the girls.)

I was quite upset I couldn't attend the OgMeet, but I ended up having to work the whole darn weekend!

Anyway, I had set up an Illinois blog roll a year ago that some of you are already on called the the Illini Alliance. It is also on trutlaidbare.com

you can see it at http://www.publiusforum.com/illini/illinialliance_main.html


I'd love to add this new one to that list as well. All the contact we can get the better!

I posted something this morning about Axelrod putting pressure on to open Blair Hull's divorce records, and wanted to include the Illinois blogger community blogroll on the post. It doesn't seem to work.
