I just wanted to mention that I’ve got a page online called People-Powered Blogs, where I’ve been trying to compile a list of all the current and former people from Blog for America, along with any diaries or blogs they post to. Right now, I don’t have any of the Booman Tribune or My Left Wing diaries listed. I really need to go back in and change the page so it’s all categorized by name. So it would be blog name, all the diaries that person has on places like Daily Kos, MyDD, etc., and any other individual or group blogs that person posts to. Here’s the link

…which I have also added to the home page of People-Powered Graphics, to make it easier to find. My email address is on that page, so you can write to me and tell me what blogs and sites I’m stil missing.
Last time I posted a shout-out like this, I got a few not-so-nice comments from people who, well, didn’t know any better, I guess. Like one that asked “Who or what the f— is BFA?” in spite of the fact that I explained what it stood for in the body of the diary. So, hopefully this is still preemptive at this point, but I just wanted to mention to anyone who doesn’t know this, that back in December of 2003 I took on the cumbersome task of compiling the Meet the Blog Family pages. It ended up being three long pages of blogger bios, and is still a featured link on Blog for America. Every now and then, someone will take a trip down memory lane and scroll through those pages, look at some of the names and wonder aloud “whatever happened to him or her?”
Some of the people on those pages do still post at Blog for America, but we’ve been losing some lately. I could very well be jumping ship any day now. Well, anyway, I’ve got these “keep the family together” instincts acting up, so I decided to put some energy into finishing the job of making this page
