Austin has some great weblogs or blogs. A blog is the latest rage around the net. For a good reason. Blogs are the best means of personal expression via a website that has been developed. A "blogger" can keep a record day by day that gets automatically archived, publish and refresh links, point to other blogs of importance and become part of a community of bloggers. That's definitely happened in Austin, Texas.
If you want a great example of a blog in action, try out Prentiss Riddle's Austin at
http://aprendizdetodo.com/austin/?item=20030209
We'll get in to Prentiss blog and a bumch of other great ones in the Austin area in this topic, which is kind of a blog in itself if you think about it.

Something from apredizdetodo
This showed up in my referrer logs last night:
http://localfeeds.com/cities/418
Looks like somebody's taking the local meta-blog idea worldwide.
There is one difference: Localfeeds apparently uses RSS to aggregate
all the content from a city's webloggers, instead of being focused
on local content like Austinbloggers.

Here's a very, very good blog on Austin books, business, events, film, food and drink, health, music, places, politics, sports, travel and web/tech.
http://www.aroundaustin.com/
AustinPostcard.com is a site built around Casey Weaver's extensive old
postcard collection. Lots of interesting pictures and drawings of
historical Austin. The site's set up so you can send a few of the cards as
e-postcards.
