BlogNetNews Changes

As many of you may already know, I am the Texas editor for BlogNetNews. In the last year, the site has been very successful. Just here in Texas, we have gone from around 60-70 blogs listed to 187 current blogs listed, from all sides of the political spectrum. We're proud of that, and we'll continue to add blogs as we become aware of them.

If you have a blog you want listed, or if you know a blog that should be listed at BlogNetNews on the Texas page, please let me know at tedmcl@gmail.com and I'll check it out. The blog should post mainly about news and politics, and about half of the posts should be about Texas items.

The BlogNetNews sites for all states are getting over a million hits a month at present time, and we are still growing. BNN is now sending more readers to its listed blogs than even LeftyBlogs.

In an effort to help the readers and the listed blogs, BNN yesterday made some changes to the site. Instead of one main page for each state, there are now three -- the blogwire, the dashboard and the directory.

The blogwire is much the same. It has been cleaned up to read a little easier, but it still lists all the latest posts from member blogs with the most recent being listed first.

The dashboard will tell you the most popular blogs, posts and topics.

The directory lists all our members and when you click on a blog it will give you a little more information about that blog, including technorati and other ratings.

Go on over and play around with our new features at http://www.blognetnews.com/texas/. I think you'll like what you find. I'd like you to also consider adding a BNN blogwire widget to your blog (which you can customize).

We also have two new sites, which you can reach from the BNN page. They are Progressisphere (for the left) and RightyBlogs (for the right).

Check us out. We're proud of what we've accomplished so far.
