Help Make RedState 3.0 a Reality

I consider RedState my second home in the blogosphere. It was about a year ago that I was named a contributor to Capitol Hill’s most popular conservative blog. Since then, I’ve made new friends, created some enemies and thoroughly enjoyed community that makes the site so special.

So when Erick Erickson, the site’s editor, told me last week that RedState was in need of money to complete it’s much-needed redesign, I told him I’d gladly ask my readers to pitch in and help. I know what it’s like to be in Erick’s shoes having gone through a redesign of Human Events before I left last year.

The big difference is the massive overhaul taking place at RedState. The site will be built on a custom content-management system and include features such as improved tools for state and local blogging, online activism channels and enhanced social networking.

Over the weekend at Awakening in Sea Island, Ga., Erick gave attendees at our panel on blogging a sneak peak of the site. It looks nice — very nice. In just a few weeks it will be a reality. Click here to make a contribution.
