What is Blogpower?

Blogpower …is so simple that Tim Worstall can’t understand it. It’s just a club of bloggers who undertake to visit and promote each other’s blogs. In fairness to Tim, I didn’t get it either at first. I signed up because James asked me. But I have been pleasantly surprised at the sense of community that has developed in a very short time. I hope we can retain the essential simplicity of the idea and continue to help each other out. [Tom Paine]

TO JOIN BLOGPOWER

Firstly – is your blog over three months old, do you have an “About” which tells members who you are, do you have a navigable site where we can access even your earliest posts quickly and do you have a particular reason to join Blogpower?

Next, are you prepared to run our banner and blogroll [in one of the available forms] on your site?

Lastly, will you undertake to visit other members, this being the main purpose of Blogpower?

If yes to all of those, please mail Ian at his e-mail … You’ll be added to the “Light from Yonder Window?” list [below] and he can help you with any difficulty.

Mission Statement

The Blogging Alliance of Non-Partisan Canadians gathers together Canadian bloggers, regardless of political affiliation, to celebrate and increase awareness of the diversity of thought within the Canadian blogosphere, and to increase the profile and traffic of member websites.

Do I Qualify?

The qualifications for membership are as follows:

1. Are you Canadian?
2. Do you have a blog?
3. Do you consider yourself to have a relatively open mind?
4. Are you NOT a member of a partisan blogging association, meaning one dedicated to a particular Canadian political party, such as the Green Bloggers, the Blogging NDP, the LibLogs or the Blogging Tories, or…
5. Is your site multi-partisan, meaning that you belong to more than one of the partisan blogging associations listed above?

If so, then you qualify. It’s as simple as that.

The Blogging Alliance of Non-Partisan Canadians is happy to attract a wide range of bloggers. Your blog does NOT have to be political in order to belong. Indeed, cultural blogs or photoblogs are welcome as they add to the diversity of the group. Likewise, if you have committed yourself to a particular political party, this does NOT disqualify you, so long as you haven’t already joined one of the partisan blogrolls mentioned above. We are seeking only to grant traffic to a diverse set of quality bloggers who are uncomfortable with joining the explicitly partisan blogrolls in the Canadian blogosphere. We only ask that you display the BANPC blogroll code, so that all the members of the BANPC can benefit from the link your membership provides.

Sites which meet the criteria when they joined the BANPC, and which went on to join other partisan blogging associations will NOT be asked to leave the BANPC. They can stay as part of a grandfather clause. Members of the Progressive Bloggers, the Liberty Logs and the Red Ensign Brigade are also welcome to join.

We do reserve the right to refuse membership, however, to pornographic websites, sites advocating hate in contravention of Canada’s legal code, or other things that could get members of this alliance into trouble.

Joining Up

Place the following code somewhere on your website. It can be on your main template, or it can be on a separate links page, but we would appreciate it if you include this blogroll code because that’s how other BANPC members get the benefit of your membership, and vice versa.

Once you do this, send me an e-mail containing your name, your e-mail address, your blog name, your blog’s URL and your blog’s RSS or Atom feed (if you have one). You can e-mail me by clicking on the button below:

You can also click the above button to e-mail me if you have any questions about the BANPC.

Criteria:

A carnival for Anarchists, anarchism, anarcha-feminists, anti-authoritarians, anarchists of colour, Christian-Jewish-Muslim Anarchists, pacifist anarchists, Antinominalist Anarchists, Libertines, libertarians, left libertarians, mutualists, libertarian-socialists, libertarian-communists, individualists, anti-statists, agorists, non-statist socialists, cooperative socialists, Free Market Anti-Capitalists, Green Anarchists, Black and Red Greens, Gnostics, pagans, Thelemites, and Bugs Bunny.

The idea is this. So that it’s not just my picks, I think it would be good if all members of C0@ would contribute some suggestions for additions to the blogroll. So, either e-mail me … or make a post, or post a comment on this thread to make some suggestions. I’ll then go into my Blogrolling.com account and add the new ones, and the script will take care of the rest.

Criteria:

This blogroll is meant primarily for political blogs (of any stripe or colour), but other kinds are welcome as well (i.e. photo blogs).

For now, BC Blogs will simply be a series of links, but there will hopefully be an aggregator and a proper website in the future.

HOW TO JOIN:

1.) Email your blog’s name and URL to …

2.) Add the BC Blogs blogroll to your blog. The HTML you can use to display the blogroll is:…

Criteria:

Randy Elrod (of Ethos) is an inspiration to me and countless others. I came up with the idea for a blogroll as a way to say thanks to Randy for sharing his vision of the importance of blogging. Randy began a mentoring group at Merridees in Franklin, TN long before I came to town. He welcomed me into the circle with guys like Mark Lee, Chad Jarnagin, Jeremy Thiessen, and several others. During the winter of 2004-2005, Randy got the blog bug from Mark Lee, a long time blogger. Since then, he’s encouraged many in our group who have since started our own blogs. And from Randy’s talks at seminars, conferences, and Peoples Church services, many of you have also been inspired to begin blogging.

Why a blogroll? Blogrolls help to provide visibility to popular as well as soon to be popular blogs by sharing some commonalities and by introducing friends of friends. Having others linked to you is a great way to improve your rankings within technorati and google. The promotion of the “tail”, as Hugh Hewitt discusses in his book “Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation That’s Changing Your World” (a great read by the way), is an added benefit as well.

If you have been impacted by Randy and would like to be included in the blog roll, send me an email at …. Include your Name, Blog URL, a brief narrative of your brush with fame (I mean Randy), and why you blog. Make sure its clean because I may end up using it as a promotional tool.

Location: http://www.philosophervet.com/join-the-unique-blog-community-blogroll/

Criteria:

This is an open blogroll for anyone who has a unique blog. Just send me an e-mail with your site name, url, and description to 000

Then and copy and past the code below into your site (remember to remove the four brackets []) where the blogroll where appear. If it is not on the main page then you must have a link to it on the main page. Once I see the blogroll on your site I will quickly add you onto the list.

When you join the blogroll, we all improve!

Location: http://www.feverishthoughts.com/do-follow-bloggers/

Criteria:

Leave a comment or send me an email (dragonden AT rogers DOT com) if you’d like to join the list. Please state in your email that you’d like to get on the blogroll. Some people just write to tell me that they are a Do Follow blogger and I’m not sure that they want to join the blogroll or not. LOL

I have an email with full instructions on adding a blogroll to a number of different types of blogging software, all you have to do is follow the directions!

You must not use the no follow tag, and you must be willing to place the blogroll on your site in order to join.

Your site should also have a fair amount of regular posts and not be too young. I’ve had a number of people asking to join the list and their site is brand new with only two or three posts. I want active sites on this list and a site with only a few posts on it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll still be posting in it next month. However a site that has three solid months of regular posts is probably written by a blogger who will continue to work on the site. So please, make sure your site has a lot of regular posts in it before you apply to join the list.

Also – if your site has comments closed to only registered members, only blogspot members or members of a particular site (ie xanga, livejournal) they cannot truly be considered a nofollow blog as the link would only go to their profile and not their actual site. Moderated comments are fine, but as I said, comments closed to site membership do not qualify.

I shouldn’t have to say this, but I’m only accepting blogs on the blogroll – not websites. Your blog should also be written in English or have a large portion of English posts as the majority of Do Follow List members have blogs that are written in English.

Location: http://www.lyndawalldez.blogspot.com/2007/07/join-open-blogroll.html

Criteria:

I have come across many blogrolls that are focused on specifics such as gender, beliefs, and interests. They are very popular and useful, but I think there should be an open blogroll in which anyone who has a blog can join and still get a sense of community. So I have created the Open Blogroll. As long as you have a blog, no matter what kind, you can join.
