Greetings Cubs Blog Army!
Wow, I can't believe its been over a month since the last update went out! Time has flown this Spring and spring training is moving along quite quickly.
Since the last update email, the CBA has grown by several new members. I encourage you to come by the CBA site (cubsblogarmy.com) and update your blogrolls. Our newest members:
Cub Town: http://cubtown.baseballtoaster.com/
WGN Sports Baseball Blog: http://wgntv.trb.com/sports/custom/weblog/wgnsports/
From the Corner of Grace and Wayne: http://graceandwayne.blogspot.com/
Goodbye 1908, Hello 2005: http://davecubsfan.blogspot.com/
The Cubs Scout: http://cubscouter.typepad.com/
I-55 Rivalry: http://www.timlybarger.com/2005Cubs.htm
Cubscast.com: http://cubscast.com/
The Cub Cave: http://cubcave.blogspot.com/
CubsBlog: http://chicagonlbaseball.blogspot.com/
A quick count tells me that this brings the CBA to 62 regularly updated blogs. That sure is a lot of variety to choose from. It also makes it difficult to keep up with the entire CBA. This is where syndication (RSS) comes in.
A few emails back I went into detail about RSS and its merits, so I'll save the sermon. Instead if you don't know what RSS is, and you want more readers, please visit cubsblogarmy.com/startupguide.html and read about it. I encourage all CBA bloggers out there to register your RSS feed with sportsblogs.org, it helps many readers stay current.
I also have a few other announcements: End the Drought and Let's Play Two have come back from a winter of hibernation. If you haven't been back in a while, or had dropped your link, go check them out again.
Also, Miss Fantastick of When is Next Year? has moved her URL to http://baseballmadness.blogspot.com/ Please visit and update your links.
I also wanted to mention one of the new blogs in particular, CubsCast.com. As opposed to a regular blog, these fellows are running a podcast site. Think a radio segment or two of Cubs talk. They are very entertaining, so if you haven't go check them out.
Finally, the 'e-mail the CBA form' is back up and working at CubsBlogArmy. So if you need to email the entire CBA for legitimate purposes, feel free to use it.
Thanks everybody and keep up the good work.
Go Cubs,
Byron Clarke
