Feel free to recommend more that may fit in well here, and I'll update that list upon more being added. Must be clearly about and supporting youth rights and/or student rights.

This first list I'm compiling is listing each blog's entries since May 1 (which is why some blogs were omitted from the above list since they were last updated before then), but each week's list after this will contain the new ones that past week. For the prolific ones listed here, didn't want a huge ass list so I just posted their last seven.

Here they are. Now read them, comment on them (there, not here), stir up the youth rights blogosphere (and SnipeMe)! (Note: even though I even include some non-youth rights posts in this, some were omitted after deciding they probably weren't appropriate, one of my own was one of them!)

(need to make a more recent posting)

EDIT: made it and no, I'm not posting it on NYRA's blog.

[SciVille]

Oh, excellent! Didn't know you had a blog (or if you'd mentioned it before, forgot, hehe). Yeah, post something new and I'll include you next week.

I did in chat, posted the link too, oh well it's alright... working on a new posting as I type

[SciVille]

Last night's? Must have missed that. Sorry.

[maeyako]

Last night's? Must have missed that. Sorry.

nope, months ago.

[KPalicz]

Go ahead and post that on Age of Reason too. I think it is a good idea.

[Adamantaimai]

I guess you found Galen's PSA "inappropriate," huh?

[SciVille]

Yeah, I figured the list could do without that.

And thanks, Alex! I might put it on AoR. I would just have to remember to turn off pingbacks for that entry or that'd be an absolute bombardment! Eek!

[PokerJoker811]

I've been wondering for a while: How do I post something on Age of Reason?

[SciVille]

Instructions are in Blog Task thread. Basically just register a username and wait for Alex to come along and approve you, then write something, and post in Blog Task thread that it's ready for publication, and I'll publish it for you.

[PokerJoker811]

Thanks, Kat. I just need to wait and prep what I've been planning on writing.

[SciVille]

Awesome!

One of the main reasons I'm doing Youth Blog Tuesday is to encourage more writing about youth rights!

Once again, read and spread some love and support in comment form!

And also, again, if you know of more blogs that'll go well in here, go ahead and say so.

[Galen]

Actually, looking at the ones listed for SnipeMe, I wonder if maybe you shouldn't limit the entries for these sites to only those involving a YR topic. Soda taxes and the swine flu aren't at all related to YR and they seem out of place there. Just a suggestion

[SciVille]

Yeah, true. Been pondering how I'd want to balance YR stuff, kinda YR stuff, and non-YR stuff.

[SciVille]

Okay, just edited the list because I had forgotten Lindsay's! Sorry about that.

[maeyako]

Oh sweet!! I just thought you didn't think my post was worthy enough ^_^

[meade]

This is an excellent idea to actually be checking up on updates every week. I tend to get locked into the two or three blogs that I read on a regular basis and forget about the others.

[SciVille]
