I researched and logged successful organizational and commercial websites, individual and group blogs, and other news database sources that are relevant to the field of architecture. Through blog search engines such as Technorati and Blog Flux, web directories Artslynx and Internet Public Library, and word of mouth through colleagues in the field, a strong catalogue of relevant webpage’s were accumulated. Personal analysis and filtration was then made based upon the content, interactive capabilities, visual design, and significance of the websites. The Webby Awards and IMSA blog standards of functionality, structure, authorship, sophistication, and overall experience were then applied for further refinement of found websites. After appropriate standards of relevance and accountability were used as filters, final sites were then added to my blogs linkroll. Some of those qualified sites include Floating Podium (an organizational architectural news and blog compilation page), Inhabitat (a well renowned group architectural blog), and Newscientist (a daily updated science and design news database). The contents of my linkroll act as standards for my own blog’s content while also acting as an addition to the blog itself. This linkroll will be a constantly evolving piece of my blog that will contribute to the interest, insight, and sophistication of my blog as well as the field of contemporary architectural issues.

Phase 1: The Linkroll
As a new and eager contributor to the architectural blogosphere, I have decided to first compile a database of pertinent websites to my blog’s linkroll in order to establish a standard for what a successfully managed and operated architectural web commentary consists of. I researched and logged successful organizational and commercial websites, individual and group blogs, and other news database sources that are relevant to the field of architecture. Through blog search engines such as Technorati and Blog Flux, web directories Artslynx and Internet Public Library, and word of mouth through colleagues in the field, a strong catalogue of relevant webpage’s were accumulated. Personal analysis and filtration was then made based upon the content, interactive capabilities, visual design, and significance of the websites. The Webby Awards and IMSA blog standards of functionality, structure, authorship, sophistication, and overall experience were then applied for further refinement of found websites. After appropriate standards of relevance and accountability were used as filters, final sites were then added to my blogs linkroll. Some of those qualified sites include Floating Podium (an organizational architectural news and blog compilation page), Inhabitat (a well renowned group architectural blog), and Newscientist (a daily updated science and design news database). The contents of my linkroll act as standards for my own blog’s content while also acting as an addition to the blog itself. This linkroll will be a constantly evolving piece of my blog that will contribute to the interest, insight, and sophistication of my blog as well as the field of contemporary architectural issues.
