Denny on January 29th, 2008

I have added a link list to the right sidebar for bloggers blogging for Appalachia. If any bloggers would like to write a post (feelings, opinions,… etc) in support of stopping mountaintop removal - leave a comment and I will add a link to your post under Blogging For Appalachia. There are a lot of things you can do to help, this is just another one.

I’ve also added the link list - Fighting For Appalachia - these are groups dedicated to Appalachia. These websites will supply you with more info on mountaintop removal than you will ever hear otherwise. Be sure to check them out.

Adding - The Blogging for Appalachia link list will be displayed on the four blogs in my network and the website outdoorswestvirginia.com as soon as it is up and running. In other words - one post = 5 backlinks. I’d love to see this list consume my blog. :)

Adding - The Outdoor Bloggers Summit has declared next week “Blogging For Appalachia” week. That is just too cool. Thank you OBS!!!

Adding - I’ve created this badge just in case someone would like to use it to link to this post.

  1. Denny,

    If you’re o.k. with this, I could mention Fighting for Appalchia on the OBS blog. We’ve had some success with the Write About the Good Posts, we could do a challenge around Fighting for Appalchia. I bet we’d see some pretty good posts.

    Let me know if that works for you.

  2. That would be great for me!! Any mention creates awareness. Thank you Kristine!!! :)

  3. it’s things like this that are helping spread the word…. good job, denny!

  4. I’m not going to let it go… my job doesn’t depend on my opinion - mountaintop removal is just wrong in so many ways.

  5. Denny,

    The challenge is up on the OBS blog. I’ve declared next week “Blogging for Applachia” week. We’ve already got some commitments for post, and a link to one post that was written previously, but covers the subject.

    Hopefully we’ll be able to provide you with some good stuff.

  6. Thanks Kristine it is much appreciated.

  7. Denny, just learned about this site from Othmar and the OBS blog. Will definitely rise up to the challenge and post something in the next week.

    Great work!

  8. Thanks deerphd - I can’t begin to tell you how much we appreciate it.

  9. I am posting today about it and have added your graphic on my sidebar and put it in my post.

    I hope it helps.

  10. As soon as I have time, I will write an article on my blog. For now, I wanted to comment and suggest you add some social network buttons to your blog post. http://www.addthis.com/ that adds a nice little popup menu that allows your readers to select which one to submit the article to… digg, stumble upon, etc. Might get more exposure to the cause.

  11. Thanks Hunter’s Wife… Sorry I missed your comment but have you added…. Thank You!

    Brian - I appreciate the advice I’ll definitely look in to it. When you write your post let me know and I’ll add it. Thanks!

  12. Ok, Denny, posted it it and added banner to my sidebar :) and if you look below my post, hover over the bookmark button. You might not be able to use Addthis’s script, but you can always add a few buttons into your blogs template

    Brian

  13. Thanks Brian! Awesome post!

    I added the addthis to this blog and the other blog this morning. I was going to last night but couldn’t get on the site for some reason - anyway - thanks for the heads up. :)
