Blog Mentioned in Bismarck Tribune!

STAND was in the Sunday, Sept 25, 2005 issue of the Bismarck Tribune! Keith Darnay, Bismarck Tribune's web master chose STAND as his "Site of the Week". Here's what Mr. Darnay wrote:

Site of the Week
STAND savetheanimalsnd.blogspot.com

This is actually more a blog than it is a Web site, set up by Christine Kujawa of Bismarck. The acronym, STAND, translates as "Save The Animals in North Dakota." "The purpose of this organization is to raise awareness of the homeless animals in North Dakota and increase the likelihood of them finding permanent homes," Kujawa told me in an e-mail. "I receive no income from this and it doesn't cost anyone anything to participate."

The blog is well-designed and well-written, featuring numerous posts, photos and links to various animal shelter Web sites around the state. If you want a good local example of blogging for a cause, visit this site.

Do you know of any North Dakota Web sites or blogs that deserve greater public awareness? Let me know and I'll include them in this column and feature them at the Internet Explorers Club Web site.

(Keith Darnay is the webmaster and designer for bismarcktribune.com. He started this column before he came to the Tribune in 1999. His website, featuring this column going back to 1995, is at www.darnay.com/iec.)
