defending the blogosphere
What was Blogpower?
Blogpower ...is so simple that Tim Worstall can't understand it. It was just a club of bloggers, at the time when having a blog was considered a good use of our time. At the time, there was a commitment to visit and promote each other's blogs.
"In fairness to Tim, I didn't get it either at first. I signed up because James asked me. But I have been pleasantly surprised at the sense of community that has developed in a very short time. I hope we can retain the essential simplicity of the idea and continue to help each other out." [Tom Paine]
What seemed important at the time has now changed. Many of us have evolved into Twitter and Facebook and other forms of social media. That said, it was fun.
This site is just an archive to reflect the grand idea that it was. Small bloggers supporting other small bloggers.

Without a doubt.
A very worthwhile addition to the family.
Where's the link - I can't find it?
In the sidebar, Wolfie.
anyone brave enough to wear a veil in the heart of fundamentalist christendom has to be worth having has a member.
There are plenty of people in my neck of the woods who could do with reading that to understand that treating people differently just because of a piece of cloth is dehumanising.
Baht At
We don't really have a mechanism for inviting people to join Blogpower though, at present bloggers need to ask us...
If she knows nothing about us I'm uncomfortable with her having been put in the prospectives sidebar.

I don't really understand your point. She does know about us and is keen to join.
Unless you have some damning emails from someone saying not to let her in, why do we need a vote vis-a-vis admittance?
We don't need a vote and it's not a vote, Lord Nazh. We do need to allow people [BP members] to express themselves if they wish [as Ian Grey has done and others].
It cuts both ways. The incoming member can then rest assured she is really, really welcome and not just what someone like me whom she meets first up, has said.
Your own comment will give her a lot of confidence.
I think that's why it's appropriate. As for Kizzie, that time is now at a close and the majority view was fairly clear.
PommyGranate, it wasn't obvious that you had actually made contact with Kizzie, I was concerned that you had just put her forward to us without her being aware (which you have now made clear she does).
I have no reservations at all beyond that.
All right, people - going out on a limb here and adding her to the roll - OK?
