Thinking bloggers
Now for something completely different…
A “Thinking Blogger Award” designation (image at the right) has been spreading around the “blogosphere.” Blogger CE Petro at Thoughts of An Average Woman (a strong lady who sells herself short when she calls herself “average”) included me on her list of 5 “thinking bloggers.”
In order to mention this award here I am supposed to identify 5 more bloggers whose work I find to be thoughtful or thought-provoking. I’m not a blog addict, so I don’t carry a list of these in my back pocket, but I do visit a variety of blogs and blog-like sites from time to time that provide insightful analysis and/or thought-provoking and informative content. Not including CE Petro’s exemplary blog and omitting sites like Tennessee Politics Blog that are great news sources but light on thought-provoking analysis, here are five that I find interesting and relevant to the local community focus of this blog:
Citizen Netmom - Oak Ridge school board member Angi Agle has provided some impressive analysis and explanation on topics related to local schools and school funding, along with interesting perspectives on many other topics. She and I don’t always agree, but this entire list is about thinking, not conformity.
KnoxViews - East Tennessee is full of opinions, many of which can be found here.
Cyburbia - Not technically a blog, but a diverse and continually-updated source of interesting links and commentary about community planning and development.
Smart Growth America - A blog-like resource on “historic preservation, the environment, farmland and open space preservation, neighborhood revitalization and more.”
Appalachistan - Often-original thinking about life and local issues on the other side of the Knox County line.
