SbyNews: Maryland’s Most Politically Influential Blogs For 2009

Maryland’s Most Politically Influential Blogs For 2009

SbyNews: Maryland’s Most Politically Influential Blogs For 2009: Joe Albero has posted on his web publication, “Salisbury News,” http://sbynews.blogspot.com/ a list of Maryland’s most politically influential political blogs of 2009.

Among a list of what are certainly my favorite blogs, my blog, Kevin Dayhoff – Soundtrack – “Kevin Dayhoff - Soundtrack Division of Old Silent Movies” was fortunate enough to be ranked #17 - http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/

Mr. Albero cites his source as being Blog Net News Maryland (BNN.)

For those who are no familiar with BNN it “is the premier guide to what is going on in the Maryland news and politics blogosphere. Each blog followed by BNN has its own directory page where you can find information about the blog's traffic, link authority and influence gathered from all over the internet as well as links to the blogs latest posts and the blog's rss feed so you can subscribe.” http://www.blognetnews.com/Maryland/directory.php

Randomly pick any of the blogs in the top twenty and you are sure to be greeted with well-written and thoughtful commentary.

Please note that of the top twenty blogs on Maryland; at least two are from Carroll County: “The Carroll Standard” is ranked Number 3 - and my blog. And if I am not mistaken, isn’t “The Political Octagon” from Carroll County?

Two of my favorite blogs in Maryland, “Soccer Dad,” and Bryan Sears, “Strange Bedfellows,” are not in the Blog Net News Network. I have often wondered why? Especially Mr. Sears’ blog? Our big sister newspaper blog, “The Sun: Maryland Politics,” which is consistently one of my favorite reads; is on the network…

My favorite blogs for 2009 include every blog on the BNN Top Twenty, however, if I am pressed for time, the writers and blogs I click-on, in no particular order, are On The Record (For example, for more fun than you can stand, read: “‘Annotated Harrell’ year-end wrap-up”; Maryland Politics Today – or http://blog.kennyburns.com/; Baltimore Reporter; and Strange Bedfellows.

From there I go to anything written by Carrie Ann Knauer, who writes for the Carroll County Times, Charles Schelle, my colleague at http://www.explorecarroll.com/; Cliff Cumber and Meg Tully at the Frederick News-Post; Bryan Sears, my colleague over at our sister paper, http://www.explorebaltimorecounty.com/; Mike Schuh at WJZ, Channel 13 in Baltimore; and all of my colleagues at The Tentacle, http://www.thetentacle.com/. And no, that list is not comprehensive…

Thanks for everyone who read Kevin Dayhoff Soundtrack in 2009. I’m looking forward to an exciting 2010.
