How do I find interesting posts to comment on?

Here are a few ways to navigate the site:

  • Go to the "front page" of the website (www.progressiveu.org) and scan the teasers of articles shown in the center column of the page. If you see something interesting, click on the title or on "read more" to see the whole article. Articles here have been "promoted" to the front page for more exposure. If you write something interesting, your post might end up here!
  • Look at posts from our Featured Bloggers.
  • Scan the "Recent Blog Posts" section in the right column.
  • Go to the sitemap and browse by topic. You can search for specific content with our search feature. Or, you can check out our "Active Threads" and "Active Topics" to see what others have commented on recently.
  • On each post, there are a couple links you may want to try: <username>'s blog (all posts by that user), and Similar Posts (links to similar posts appear on the right sidebar under the "similar posts" heading).
  • Check out the Choice Picks for posts handpicked by site editors.
  • When you find another blogger whose posts you like to read add him or her to your buddy list (you can do this from the blogger's profile page). Once you've done this, you will have a new left sidebar block that shows recent posts for all of your buddies.
  • You can also find content by clicking on a username and utilizing the "Track" feature (this is a tab at the top of their profile page).

Sometimes there's nothing recent that interest's you. That's OK -- be a pioneer -- write about something that does interest you. You'll be surprised -- people will find what you write, and if you're lucky you'll end up with an interesting dialog.
