Blog news
I'm adding some more blogs to the Florida Blogs list in the right-hand column; they should show up there later today.
Here's one that's not strictly a Florida blog, but regularly provides news about Florida: Facing South, a blog from the Institute for Southern Studies, founded by civil rights leader Julian Bond and based in Durham, NC.
Some Knight Ridder newspapers are posting new blogs using a new blogging software (Type Pad): The San Jose Mercury News has Good Morning Silicon Valley, previously a Website and newsletter, now a Type Pad blog. And the Philadelphia Inquirer has introduced Blinq, a blog on local news, blogging and news from blogs in the Philadelphia area. Will the Miami Herald get in on this? Stay tuned. posted by liz at 11:28 AM
