Blog Roundup: Newfoundland and Labrador
Earlier this week I threw out a post asking people for their favorite Newfoundland and Labrador Blogs – either based in the province, focused on the province, or written by someone from the province. I thought it would be a good opportunity to highlight some of the NL-based blogwriters out there – regardless of their political leaning (I always have to submit that caveat it seems on this site).
The results are in, so here’s what has come back. I’ve added a few of my own links, and I added the blog name and tagline if it was available, along with the location. Thanks to everyone who contacted me on this little project. I think this would be a good list to maintain, and having met many in the blogging community in Washington D.C., I can say that it’s a positive thing when bloggers connect.
The list is in no particular order. The only connecting factor in the list is that the author either lives in Newfoundland and Labrador or is from Newfoundland and Labrador.
Any bloggers back home who’d like to organize a happy hour at the end of June? I’ll be in town. We could have an inaugural happy hour of the NLBA (NL Blog Army). Leave politics at the door.

So you will be in St. John’s in late June. Look forward to seeing you. Any Ideas?

Comment by Web Talk - Newfoundland and Labrador — 5/31/2005 @ 1:45 pmThe NL Blog list has been updated: somebody is definitely not in Halifax, Raphael has been added, as has Myles and Joan from her kitchen in Clarenville.
It would be nice to maintain a Newfoundland and Labrador blog list (again, blind to political persuasion).
See this example from where I live:
