Pacific NW Portal expands, adds more blogs

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better - it suddenly did.

Since launching Pacific Northwest Portal a week ago syndicating progressive viewpoints from around the region, we've been hard at work making improvements to the site. Today, we're delighted to unveil our latest changes. Here's the highlights:

  • We're launching a new "Expanded Washington" section, syndicating six additional blogs from Washington State on a brand new page!

  • We're debuting a slimmer main page. You'll notice it loads more quickly and efficiently.

  • We're also launching a new Feedback page, with an easily accessible contact form at the top, handy Knowledge Base, and feedback we've recieved about the site.
The new "Expanded Washington" section features six additional blogs from the Evergreen State, bringing our total of syndicated blogs to 18. These are the blogs we're adding:

Washington State Political Report, Upper Left, OlyScoop, WashBlog, ColumbianWatch, and Orcinus.

This is certainly good news for Washingtonians, but what about Oregonians? Not to worry! Next week, Pacific NW Portal will launch its "Expanded Oregon" page, syndicating six additional blogs from the Beaver State and thus bringing our total of syndicated blogs to 24.

(As for Idaho, we're already syndicating around 70% of the progressive Gem State blogs that we know exist. We can't add an "Expanded Idaho" section until more of you progressive Idahoans start blogging!)

Our new Feedback section makes it easier to get in touch with us, with an improved contact form. Consult the new handy Knowledge Base to troubleshoot issues viewing our site. And read what people have been saying about our site.

Pacific NW Portal is the kind of website that listens to its visitors. You asked for more - so today, we're delivering more. And we're continuing to work on the site's ease of access and appearance, as well as adding new features.

There's always something new at Pacific Northwest Portal. So bookmark our site and visit regularly. You'll be glad you did!
