BC Blogs
Welcome to the new BC Blogs
With the Winter Olympics now gripping B.C. in their unseasonably hot little hands, we would be remiss if our Blog of the Week weren't dealing with the Games.
In fact, we're declaring two sites to be our Blogs of the Week and of the whole Olympic period:
2010 Vanfan bills itself as "A personal journey to Vancouver 2010." And Olympic Resistance Net chronicles opposition to the Games. Between the two of them, plus plenty of items on The Hook, we expect the Olympics to be thoroughly blogged.
Want to see your B.C. blog on this list? Any other questions? See the bottom of the page for more information, or click here.
