Purpose of this Blog

As indicated in the masthead of this blog, this is a listing or Atlas of Realistic South Dakota Blogs written by real South Dakotans and includes some descriptions of the blogs which we hope truly reflect the real character of the blogs.

These blogs may be personal notes, primarily political, news collections, navel-gazing, photography, history and just about anything Dakota except a blog aimed primarily and only at selling you a product you must pay for.

We hope this will help you find a number of interesting perspectives on South Dakota and South Dakotans from a bunch of South Dakotans connected mainly by this blog and the related 2x2 ads in South Dakota newspapers.

On edit, Today I checked with local paper and cost of the SD 2x2 ads for all of South Dakota is around $750. That is a tad rich unless about 30 or 40 blogs are interested in splitting costs.

If you have a blog and are interested in having your blog and description here..no charge..check my Dakota Today blog and use the e-mail address in the masthead to send me e-mail.

What I am aiming for here is a well-indexed list of blogs with honest descriptions of the blogs. Readers who click on a blog after reading he description here should not be surprised at what they find when they get to the actual blog.

I do not now intend this to be a tight blog alliance with standards of conduct, etc. but I have already been contacted by a blogger interested in that idea.

Another blogger wanted to make sure this directory or listing stays "clean" in the sense that the page does not become cluttered with all kinds of stuff not essential to the idea of a blog directory list that is easy to read and use working as expected.

At this stage, comments and suggestions welcome.
