So long, OR blogs
Jaggy, my secret blog crush, pays homage to the best damned local site on the Interwebs.
My blog started with Dr. Lisa Ede’s English 495/595 class waaaaay back in 2005. She had this fresh, young speaker come in and tell about how he got into blogging. That quiet man was Paul Bausch, the mastermind behind ORblogs. He told us about his self-created blogging community of Oregon bloggers. I have since used his website to find out more about my state than I could have dreamed (nevermind how well Oregonians write!).
There’s an effort afoot to keep ORBlogs around. It’s not a lack of web bandwidth that may bring ORBlogs to an end, it’s a lack of human bandwidth. I’m not sure what I can do to help, but I’ll raise my hand and hope I can do something. I hope we can keep it around in some form or other.
