More Katrina Blogging

Hi folks. Well, it looks like much needed relief is finally starting to
arrive in quantity at New Orleans and other affected areas.  As a
reminder, if you're able, please do what you can to contribute funds to
relief organizations, such as the Red Cross. (You can find a list of hurricane relief organizations at Network for Good.)

Here are some other Hurricane Katrina-related blog & Web sites of note:

* AOL News's Katrina Photoblog
is still trucking along, featuring member pics from all over the region
(including the one I'm going to use on the Journals main page).

* mgno.com is the blog of The Interdictor,
a guy who's been in New Orleans since Katrina hit; he works and blogs
from a Web hosting provider's facility, so he's had access to generator
power and lots of bandwidth to post webcam pics, video and lots and
lots of eyewitness reports.

* HurricAid is a blog focused on different aspects of the relief efforts.

* There's a Katrina Help Wiki -- a wiki, as you'll recall, is a kind of group Web site, where anyone can contribute content.

* The Biloxi-based Sun-Herald blog has more information about Southern Mississippi, including a list of more Katrina blogs.


That's it for right now. If you have your own Katrina blogs or
resources you'd like to share, please tell us about them in the
comments.



Talk to you later.  Thanks. -- Joe
