Milblogging.com - Over 1,500 military blogs at your fingertips

The Home Sweet Home Campaign has found another great resource for Bloggers interested in the military:

Milblogging is an internet database for organizing
military blogs. It’s main attraction is its index of military blogs from all over the world. As of October 2006, Milblogging indexes over 1,500 military blogs in over 25 countries. Milblogging indexes a wide variety of military blogs including webblogs written by: military spouses, military veterans, military personnel (who are in the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard), civilian contractors, reporters, military parents, civilians, and other groups. Many of the military blogs listed on Milblogging are written by troops deployed to the frontlines of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Milblogging was founded by Jean-Paul Borda in September 2005. Prior to Milblogging, Borda ran a military blog from Afghanistan while he was deployed with the Army National Guard during Operation Enduring Freedom. His original military blog "The National Guard Experience" was written as a means to stay in touch with family, friends, and supporters while on deployment. Frustated by a lack of media coverage on the positive accomplishments of the U.S. Military in Iraq and Afghanistan, and wanting an easy way to find military blogs, Borda decided during his deployment to create an aggregator site of military-related blogs from around the world. The domain name "Milblogging.com" was registered in late 2005 after Borda returned home from deployment, and the website was developed over the following months. The original logo design was created as a courtesy by GX The Guard Experience, a magazine that featured entries of Borda's military blog from Afghanistan. In late September 2005, Borda launched the website.
