I just placed a 50-blog Blogad ad buy through the
Liberal Blog Advertising network urging readers of their favorite blogs to donate to those bloggers.
I am an anomaly in the blog world, able to make a living off my work. The vast majority of bloggers struggle to blog between day jobs, family, and other pressures. It's an often thankless job, yet the growth of the progressive blogosphere is a key component of the growth of a Vast Left Wing Conspiracy and must be nurtured.
I don't need the money. And in fact, I've used proceeds from subscriptions and the Daily Kos Store to fund this ad buy. This is about the broader movement. We must encourage the emergence of strong, powerful, liberal voices. We don't have the vast funding infrastructure that takes care of the Right's best voices, but we do have each other.
You can use this thread to talk about your favorite blogs.
