I made a blogroll on the Wiki. Add your blog or comment/toot me it and I'll add it.
I started an article in the wiki titled Blogroll, where I added just few people who first popped to my mind who I know have a blog (@ntnsndr , @richard , @iwandoherty , @juhomakkonen1 ).
Feel free to add stuff, or let me know if you have a blog or something else you want to add to the blogroll. Any user can toot or message me their blogs and I'll add them to the Wiki. I'll try to send a private toot to new users to ask them if they want their site added to the list.
The order of the bloggers should be changed randomly regularly, so that the people who happened to pop into my mind first don't get an unfair advantage.
I added the blogroll in the wiki frontpage, under the "Here are some basic ways of getting involved in the co-op so far".
Earlier discussion.

Added you, with a link to the articles written by you in the open coop site. I can ofc change the link to open coop frontpage.
Hope it will help members to find people to follow. At some point we could perhaps try to combine reading group with going through each others blogs.
We could also add a list of recommended blogs/websites to the article that are not necessarily run by any single member.

I like the idea of a place where we could read all the blogs; the only way I know how to do that is through a WordPress site with an RSS aggregator plugin. That might be something to consider someday... Or if people use RSS readers they can add all these themselves to those readers!

I made protopage with 8 people's feed on it.
I couldn't add the feed of myself, @iwandoherty or @olisb as it doesn't show our individual feeds, but the feed of either whole of The Peoples News or Open Coop.
I tried links that lead to their individual feed, as they are in the blogroll, but it didnt work.
If anyone knows how to fix this, let me know.

I am trying to add my blog but whenever I try to save the page I keep getting a "something went wrong" error with no other explanation except "unknown error." I can't seem to do anything to make it save. Any ideas?

Ok, I just switched to "edit source" and then it worked with the old editor. Not sure what's up there.
Leo Sammallahti Sat 16 Jun 2018 5:39PM
Yep, this happened to me and Ed too, added a notice on the main page about it.

Oh oops...missed that, and it was right under the blogroll section I was looking at! Sorry to duplicate stuff here!

I'm having trouble getting the wiki to work, and Google ReCaptcha is giving me the fear, would anyone have a minute to spare to add me to the blogroll? :)
I blog at https://cunningprojects.com - the server has poor uptime because I'm a very lazy sysadmin and it's hosted from a neglected Raspi a meter from my desk.. <_<

Sure, added it to both blogroll article and the protopage, gonna read it right now, looks interesting.

that's the start of a useful little list @leosammallahti - thanks - please add https://open.coop - although I wonder if anyone knows how to make an aggregator which pulls in RSS from all the blogs, with the #tags and #categories so that we can follow threads from everyone in one place - that would be SO useful...
