Hemmingsen "weighs in" at Keloland

Steve Hemmingsen may not be the grandfather of blogs in SD, but he is probably the grandfather of Keloland News retired newsmen. He knows how to find a good story for his blog and knows how to take good photos. And if he can't find a good story, he knows how to turn an average story into a good story. Steve's blog is good and his posts don't seem to fit a pattern. His posts can be about just about anything, but always worth reading.

KELOland Political Blog Aggregator

The first post I put here in SD Blogland mentioned a coming revolution in South Dakota blogging. Well, now you and I know what it was and is. It really is a revolution of sorts because an established South Dakota media giant has recognized the reading value of political blogs that aren't necessarily written by Doug Lund or Steve Hemmingsen (I'll give them a plug in another post).

Blogs collected in this handy and visible one place at KELOLAND, now include Todd Epp of the SDWatch/ThuneWatch Blog, Ken Blanchard of the SD Politics Blog, Jon Schaff also apparently at SD Politics Blog, Bob Schwartz of SD Moderate Blog, David Newquist of Northern Valley Beacon Blog, Joel Rosenthal of SD StraightTalk Blog, and Pat Powers of SD War College Blog. An interesting mixture. More on all those blogs in later posts. But, if you want a quick read on a few of the SD Political blogs, check the KELO Political Blogs aggregator.

HogHouse Blog

Denise Ross wrote for the RC Journal and now and then salted and peppered Mt. Blogmore. She left the RC Journal and not too long after that started her HogHouse Blog. Those not familiar with SD legislative practice should check her blog for the story of a legislative process called the "HogHouse". Anyway, her blog is worth checking on nearly every day because she knows what to scratch and which sores to pick. She appears to spare no side of anything from her journalistic investigation. Her blog shows her connections and her trained skills. Her blog is a slightly different breed of cat. She discusses politics and current events, but without any obviously apparent biases other than perhaps against folly. Moderated comments. Of course, YMMV.

Ideal News and Views Blog

The Ideal News and Views Blog was started by Lowdon date. His blog discusses South Dakota news and politics, but centers discussion on the Ideal, SD area and community with photos from the area and a ranching, farming, pioneer perspective. Now and then he presents novel ideas or topics and photographs. Has a WWII veteran perspective as well as a history of Democratic Party experience. Target Audience probably adult, but OK for children as well.

Stay Tuned for the Coming Revolution in BlogLand

Actually, not much new just yet. This is frankly kind of a place holder until I figure out what to do with it for sure.

Stay tuned anyway.
