GodBlogCon: *Yawn*

3 Replies

So the GodBlogCon started a few days ago. Big fat hairy deal. It’s a mutual admiration society for Calvinistic Evangelical Republicans*. I really don’t think it’s going to make any real impact within the blogosphere, let alone without. It certainly won’t do anything to help Godbloggers break out of their ghetto.

If you’re about as enthused about GBC as I am, you might find Mean Dean’s mock coverage interesting.

* I have no beef with the participants, just the bias in speaker selection.

Being a Blogfather

Leave a reply

Ever take a look at Blogtree? It’s a neat concept that combines two of my passions, blogging and genealogy. When you submit your blog you tell the service which blogs inspired you to start blogging. In turn, you are told who your sibling blogs are and who was inspired to blog because of you.

I know I’ve gotten a few folks into blogging, including Fr. Michael Darcy, Shaun “Powerball” Pierce, and John “Publius” Thompson. Thus far, though, nobody has credited me at Blogtree.

If I’ve inspired to blog by reading mine, please let Blogtree know, or at least leave a comment saying so. I’m not looking for notoriety, but knowing you’ve inspired someone is a good feeling. Also, following someone’s blogging pedigree is a neat way of being exposed to new blogs. 🙂

Linker Appreciation

I’m in the process of moving my blogrolls from Blogrolling to Bloglines. I’ve purged a lot of dead weight. It’s possible, though, that in my zeal to have a leaner and more useful blogroll I’ve deleted some reciprocal links. Please check out my blogrolls page. If you link to me (personally, not just in Blogdom of God or some other aggregator) and cannot find at least a reciprocal link, let me know and I’ll add you. 🙂

Street Prophets

7 Replies

A new political God blog has popped onto the scene. Street Prophets, an outgrowth from Daily Kos, is a left-leaning blog about the intersection of faith and politics. The content provider is Rev. Daniel Schultz, a third-generation UCC pastor in Pennsylvania.

Strangely enough, they’ve linked to me. Now do you believe me when I say I don’t fit neatly into the political spectrum? 😉
