Spread The Good Words: Topic Hotlist Your Site!

Do you have a blog? Or a Web site?

Do you have a sidebar with room for a little active content?

Are you a supporter of progressive policies?

Then maybe you'd be interesting in hosting the PNW Topic Hotlist.

The Topic Hotlist was created earlier this year as a means to highlight what NW progressive bloggers were writing about. If you take a look at the sidebar to the left of this entry, you will see the Hotlist in action. Note how postings are grouped by topic. See how you can expand or collapse the lists. Marvel at how the formatting of the display on my blog differs from the display at other blogs that host the Hotlist (for example at HorsesAss.org or Peace Tree Farm) as it is totally configurable using CSS styles of your choosing.

The Hotlist currently aggregates content from 28 progressive blogs from the Pacific Northwest. We are always on the lookout for additional blogs to include. The Hotlist has proven to be a useful tool many visitors enjoy to use to quickly access multiple postings on a given hot topic. It differs from other such tools that just list the latest posting regardless of topic. The content is updated on a regular basis with no effort on the part of the contributors or those that display the Hotlist - the Topic Hotlist aggregator does all the work.

So consider adding the Hotlist to your sidebar and help spread the good words of your fellow NW progressive bloggers. Just click on the button at the bottom of any Hotlist display for instructions.

Thanks for plugging Peace Tree Farm, Dan. I think the NWP Topic List is a wonderful addition to my sidebar, a great way to feature other blogs in the area, and an excellent way to draw attention to my posts via my colleagues. Kudos!

I do have to point out that your sidebar is to the right, not left, of your blog entries.

From your perspective. My view from behind your screen has it the other way around!
