Blog Portals
Numerous blog aggregators, or portals, have been constructed by participants in the Bloggernacle. The most prominent and widely recognized portal is the Mormon Archipelago (or MA), which was created in 2005 "to be a useful central place to see what’s going on at all of the best blogs in the Bloggernacle." The MA displays LDS-themed blogs, grouped together in various boxes or "islands", with the newest content in each blog on top, with sidebars displaying links to recent comments around the Bloggernacle. Over time, the location with the MA, removal of blogs, or addition of blogs has resulted in disputes over the role the MA plays in Mormon blogging.
In addition to the MA, other LDS Blog Aggregators include:
- MormonBlogs.org, an aggregator affiliated with the Mormon group weblog Mormon Matters.
- Mormon Blogosphere, an aggregator accepting any Mormon-related blog.
- LDS Blogs, a list of both LDS-themed blogs, as well as non-LDS-themed blogs by LDS bloggers.
- Nothing Wavering, a list of both LDS-themed blogs, as well as non-LDS-themed blogs by LDS bloggers.
