South Dakota Magazine Blog

Most South Dakotans have seen a copy of South Dakota Magazine on a magazine rack or a coffee table or have or are subscribing to it, so you might have a good idea of what you will find at South Dakota Magazine Blog. Those not familiar with either should check the blog and subscribe to the magazine if you really have an interest in South Dakota. Bernie Hunhoff and his staff put together a homespun interesting and even often beautiful magazine..some of that spills into the blog site. My only complaint is that the photos there never link to a larger version. Minor gripe however. So take a look.

USDedu Blogs ..Blog Server

The Department of Education at USD provides a blog system. A whole lot of blogs under one heading not a predictable mixture..everything from education technique and issues to politics with none of them necessarily approved or not by the U of South Dakota. So check it. A blog smörgåsbord with a few tasty delights and some chewy dense stuff.

SD Moderate Blog

At last, I get the South Dakota Moderate blog by Bob Schwartz. Months ago..well maybe a year or so..I had the best of all possible intentions to get this blog into another bloglist. Alas, it was not until this week that I got around to copying the masthead and getting it in here. But, truth be told Schwartz rattled my cage at Dakota Today. You can too if you think you have a blog of your own or another to add here. The SD Moderate blog is sort of centrist politically, but often has non-partisan and non-political posts as well. So check SD Moderate today and don't forget it. You will find links to a lot of sites there including a few to other blogs and sites made by Bob Schwartz.

Rant a Bit by Scott Hudson Blog

I must confess the type on this blog was nearly unreadable the first time I looked at it. It is better now. Scott Hudson does rant a bit on the local conditions and general lunacy in Sioux Falls. He also has music on his blog. Me thinks it is for a different generation than mine however. Check it as an indicator that South Dakota has a broad spectrum of blogs even if there still aren't very many of them here.

Richard Harter's World -- a Bloglike Webpage

OK, this site isn't a Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad, or any other kind of a blog system based website. Nope looks like it is a hand-coded log of personal observations, editorials photos, humor etc collected for the past 10 years. Perhaps "tepidly" bloggish, but close enough for this collection. Probably gives a good indication of what could be done before "blogs" became the poorman's CMS system. With all the stuff on this site, nearly everybody should be able to find something interesting, funny, amusing, or just plain worth reading...of course there is a lot of other stuff there too. Thanks for Bernie Hunhoff of SD Magazine for noting this comparatively unknown gem of a site.

SD Watch Blog

Todd Epp has a number of blogs. SD Watch may have begun as "ThuneWatch", but became more general including some of Epp's lawyerly posts. Epp has a background in professional media being with SD Public Broadcasting often reporting from the State Capitol and then added a law degree. He has also consulted with political campaigns. Posts at his blog are not predictable as to content or perspective even if generally from a generally cautious but very liberal and Democratic perspective. Epp's SD Watch is also one of the blogs aggregated at KELOLAND as indicated in a previous post. Comments are moderated. Plan on closing a few aggravating popup and popbehind ad windows however.

South Dakota Politics Blog

South Dakota Politics blog has a checkered past (see Old Version of SD Politics) and present. Specialization here has been attacks on Sen. Daschle. Some fueled by use of now discredited "Jeff Gannon" of "Talon News". It now includes posts by Dustin Adams, Ken Blanchard, Jon Schaff, and Jason Heppler. Read their "What They're Saying About SDP" endorsements, note the list of blogs in "The Dakota Alliance of Blogs" and there is no doubt about the Republican and rightwing orientation of the place. It is one of the blogs that has posts in the KELOLAND political blog aggregator. Usually well-written, but no doubt about the direct connections to the the Mighty Wurlitzer of the RNC and associated media, and most likely now as before with John Thune office and organization. But then you might want to take my comments on this blog with a grain of salt. Right now they happen to be attacking me.
No comments usually or ever allowed as far as I know.

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.
