You missed at least one state.

I realize nobody cares what happpens in Pennsylvania but you should at least include it out of the sake of being complete.

DvilleDem -- Thank you for you interest in the 50 State Blog Network Roundup. You question is a frequent one. So frequent, it's included in the 50 SBN F.A.Q., even! :-)

Why doesn't my state blog appear in this week's Roundup?

We use the state blog roll at BlogPAC as a reminder of what blogs to visit. We try to include as many stories as possible, but it is easy to overlook a blog. The most common reasons why a blog is not included are:

- The blog is a new entrant to the 50 State Blog Network and is not included on blogroll yet.

  • The blog was just plain overlooked by accident. It takes a lot of time to put the roundup together and its easy to overlook a blog.
  • There were no new stories in the last week.

Okay. Is there anything I can do to make sure my state's blog appears next week?
Yes! Every Thursday we solicit this week's nominations. You can submit a nomination via the web at the automated entry form that Ralph Bordie of IVR Polls kindly put together.

We've included stories from Keystone Politics in the majority of the 50 SBN Roundup editions.

This is a 100% volunteer effort. We'd love to have someone in PA get involved. I don't know if you can help out or not, send me an email (wvblue@gmail.com) if you're interested.
