I’ve just added a site map with a list of all the sources on the ProHipHop News Center home page. I think this will not only be a cool resource of its own but will also strengthen the marketing aspects of the News Center, i.e., it will give all sources more attention and a little more link love.
You’ll notice that the sources for a few sections haven’t yet been added because they involve feeds with a large number of sources such as World Cypher: Blogs [featuring 35+ blogs]. I’ll list those once I get done creating any additional subsections and removing blogs that don’t add to the conversation.
Seeing that source list made me realize that the main reason it took so long to launch this project is that literally hundreds of blogs plus a handful of news sources are included with more to come. So the home page is now also a mini-directory of great blogs.
But I need more!
Please suggest more great sources on the Comments & Site Suggestions page keeping in mind that an RSS feed is required for participation.
Particularly needed are suggestions for:
Artists & Labels
Audio & Podcasts
Hip Hop Politics
Hip Hop Videos
Plus any blogs focused on hip hop outside the U.S. such as Flight 808 or deejaying and production blogs like Crate Kings.
The ProHipHop News Center is basically complete but I will be adding some features like a customized search engine that includes all the sites in the News Center. I’ll also be putting a lot of time and energy into publicizing this project and hope that will be beneficial to all involved.
Linking back to the News Center or the section in which your blog appears is strongly encouraged though not required for participation.
If you want to opt out of the ProHipHop News Center, please hit me back and I’ll remove you ASAP, no questions asked:
