Blog love

Blog on the Half Shell may be anchored in Rhode Island, but the world is our quahog. So we were thrilled to appear last week in The Boston Globe's travel blog, Globe-trotting, thanks to the good word put in by my friend Chris Murphy, who works on the travel desk at the Globe and Boston.com. My reader will now have company. Clams got legs!

In that same giving spirit, Blog on the Half Shell isn't the only scenic detour in the Rhody blogosphere. Those interested in following the Ocean State's political scene should check out Not for Nothing, a news blog by the estimable Ian Donnis of the Providence Phoenix. Art and preservation collide at Art in Ruins, an artist-as-activist Web site chronicling the demise of some of the state's most beloved landmarks and buildings. And for an extended road trip through the wild, the weird and the wicked Rhode Island, visit the folks at Quahog.
