There is this french effort: Vendredi (Friday), a newspaper that only publishes blog posts, which is a step farther than having a blog on blogs. Read about it here: "A BlogPaper?"

Ryan:
I’m pretty proud of our recent foray into link blogging here in Wilmington, N.C. We’re doing it through a group blog called The Captain on StarNewsOnline.com. Here’s a link: http://blogs.starnewsonline.com/captain/ and we also Twitter as CaptainStarNews.
We started this effort about 10 days ago and have had great results so far.
I’d love to get feedback or ideas from others on how to improve.

I started one for my former employer, then hired a local blogger to continue it. When I moved on to another job and management decided not to stop paying for roundups, the woman who was doing them left, partnered-up with a very smart techie, and started their own site.

Now that I no longer work for the paper, I volunteer for the new site, because I’m a blogger and being part of a healthy blogging community is important to me.

The site is http://lowcountrybloggers.com and the people behind it are Heather Solos and Dan Tennant.
