If you are new here, and you probably are, here is what I wrote about this site:

I’m looking for original reporting by bloggers to use in a shared setting. That’s why our tag line is “by bloggers, for bloggers.” I’m looking for bloggers who want to contribute stories that other bloggers can use and link to. The only criteria is that it has to be original reporting rather than commenting on the writings of someone else. It doesn’t have to be a big national story. Coverage of a local council race or regional news story, interviews with local politicians or celebrities, and even your personal coverage of local events are all the type of stories I’m looking for.

That sums it up pretty well. For more background you can read here, here, and here.

It’s time to get moving with this project. Tell me how you can contribute. Your ideas and suggestions are always welcome.

While your at it why not follow @BlogNewsCoop on Twitter.

For various reasons, the incredible amount of investigative online reporting published on conservative blogs in just the last year alone has gone largely uncredited. Let’s fix that here and now:

It is a long and impressive list. Seriously, take a look.

And to those on the list, you are welcome, even encouraged, to submit your stories to Blog News Co-op. Let’s not rest on 2008′s work, but rather break out even more in 2009 and beyond.

Now bloggers can add their information to the database. On their anniversary date (blogiversary) a link to their blog will be displayed on any site that has added the code. I’ve also set it up to display yesterday’s and tomorrow’s blogiversaries.

The submission process has been updated. Find out more.
