There are also three new sites on the Hot List that are well worth a visit. The blogosphere has grown at such an exponential rate that this site is clearly no longer a comprehensive listing of Lefty Bloggers. It is, I believe, still a good place to start, and I continue to get email feedback from Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14473488665218839357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674801.post-1090203980928826952004-07-18T19:17:00.000-07:002004-08-05T21:43:52.076-07:00Post A Link Since updates to the blogroll are rather infrequent due to my limited time for reading and adding new sites. I'll keep a post up where new bloggers can announce their sites and post links in the comments.

There is now a "Hot List" to the left to point you to a handful of great new Lefty blogs. I take submissions for the Hot List from a small group of top Lefty bloggers, and do not pick them myself, so please don't e-mail requests to be added. In addition, there is a list of "Essential" Lefty bloggers for those who are new to the blog world.

Newest additions appear at the bottom of the roll. As we approach 600 blogs (!), it seems the more or less chronological order has served us well. Look for new features, and possibly new co-editors in the near future.

As the blogroll approaches 500 Lefty Blogs, it is becoming more difficult to manage the list. I never imagined the Directory would grow so large, and I still get new submissions almost every day. I've been passing on listing some that are not really blogs, and once in a while pass due to content, but it is nice to know that Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14473488665218839357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674801.post-1060564089081081112003-08-10T18:08:00.000-07:002003-08-10T18:08:09.110-07:00One New Lefty Each Day 49 new blogs are added with today's update. That averages out to more than one new submission per day here at the LD. Now that the blogroll is getting really big, let's try to keep it working for us by visiting once a day and sampling a new Lefty Blog each day.

I wonder if others in the Lefty Directory have also had such moments. And trust me, as a lifelong Liberal, having thoughts that seem to be of a conservative, perhaps even *reactionary* nature, is a very discomfiting experience.

As a result, the first new blog to become a daily read for me was Body and Soul by the pseudonymous Jeanne D'Arc.

Capozzola April of this year saw the creation of many new blogs with a Liberal point of view. One of the newbies that quickly gained notice in the political blogosphere was The Rittenhouse Review.

On October 8, 2001, Anthony Adragna started his blog QuasiPundit as a natural outgrowth of his participation in Slate's "The Fray".
