Blogging the SGA coalition

We’ve been thinking about how to have a blogroll here on SGAA without having one of those infinitely long lists in the sidebar that no one seems to pay attention to anyway, and it seemed that a good place to start would be with our coalition partners.

By Steve Davis, January 17, 2008

Over the next few days, I’ll be starting to post the coalition blogs in the left sidebar. We’ll follow this up with the blogs from our national coalition members tomorrow. If you’re a coalition member and have a blog that we couldn’t find, by all means, let us know via email or in the comments below.

Here is a quick list of our local, state, and coalition members with regular blogs — and a few that at least have RSS feeds . You can always view our full member list here. Have no idea what RSS feeds are? Not making sense? Here is a really great primer on RSS and syndication from Defenders of Wildlife.

Onto the links:
