In my spare time I’ve been putting together a new Community Server site that will offer a one stop shop for CS related blogs by aggregating them all into one location, as well as provide a location for anyone who wants to blog about CS or just community related stuff in general but doesn’t necessarily want to set up their own site to do so. It utilizes the new Blog Mirroring capability in CS2.1 extensively to aggregate the feeds. A demo version is located here.
Presently there are 3 tabs related to CS blogs: Bloggers which will ultimately just display blogs from CSBlogs.com (it aggregates all mirrors for now), Feeds which mirrors all the existing CS bloggers who have a Community Server category set up on their blog (I have 20 blogs mirrored presently…that tag cloud is pure gold), and Tips and Tricks that mirrors anyone running a CS Tips category on their site. Comments are disabled on mirrored blogs meaning you have to go to the original post to comment…I think site owners will appreciate that.
If you are interested in being mirrored or starting a blog on CSBlogs.com, either drop me a comment here or contact me directly and I’ll get you set up. I will launch the site sometime next week after I get some little kinks ironed out and find a different theme.
