The San Antonio Express News has a great write-up about the New Orleans bloggers:
More than 100 bloggers are detailing the rebuilding experience, with new blogs joining the ranks each day. Last month, New Orleans’ bloggers even held a conference to compare notes.
They are among the millions of people with access to the Internet who have embraced blogging as a way to create their own soapbox, where they can express themselves with words, pictures, video or sound clips.
Bloggers have broken news, debunked mainstream media stories, and some of them are must-reads for Web surfers interested in politics, technology and media.
The New Orleans bloggers, for a year, have been writing, connecting, agonizing, sharing triumphs and ideas… non-stop; it’s wonderful to see wider recognition of their efforts.
Congratulations, everybody!

There’s our Polimom (as it appears in the Express):

You know it’s still hard to think back on last year with all the injuries, deaths, and destruction from both big storms – but there was some things that we can say came out positive. Polimom provided a needful link and vital method to contact for others who were shipped elsewhere.
Just considering that service alone, she cannot be thanked enough and we’re lucky and proud to have her here - almost as lucky as the folks from Louisiana who hung on every word posted here. She has gone out of her way to keep her mind open and has treated most everyone as far as I know, better than, we – her guests – have treated her.
She and I see thing from different angle and because of this we seldom agree on political actions. However, I believe there is one page which we’re both on, “We may not agree with what the other says, but we’ll defend to the death the other’s right to say it.”
She believes that very strongly and although I’ve too often tested her resolve in the matter, she has found mostly a pleasant way to solve those issues. Just because we don’t share the same conclusions in some matters, does NOT mean she’s failed as she’s one of the roll models which one of my daughters could do worse than patterning themselves for the future.
