Kicking Off This Idea

I have wanted to be able to do this for quite some time. There is really no where that blogs devoted to nature are collected well. Most hubs for outdoor blogs also include hunting and fishing, and many other outdoor activities. Although I enjoy many of these pursuits, I wanted to be able to isolate blogs that focus on the kinds of things that would have appealed to the 19th century "Naturalist." In other words... looking at the plants, animals, geology, sky, waterways, and all the natural features of the world, just for their own sake. I found a way to create a feed with selected blogs through NewsGator, which could then be read into a web site. Of course, before I got that site created, they discontinued this and advised people to use Google Reader. But I couldn't find a way to channel Google Reader to a different site. Then last night it hit me! Just use a blog format but make the Blog Roll the dominant feature. This is the initial launch, and I will see how well it is received.
