Whose Blog Posts Appear on the Fargo River Page?

Updated

The posts shown on the Fargo River page come from bloggers in the Fargo community. The page describes its content as "Selected feeds from bloggers of the Fargo community," so what you see is a curated set of feeds, not a complete directory of every Fargo blogger. Each item is an excerpt or link pointing back to an external blog.

What the Page Says About Its Sources

The only source statement on the page is the line under the "Fargo River" heading:

"Selected feeds from bloggers of the Fargo community."

That single sentence carries most of what you need to know:

  • Community scope — the feeds belong to people associated with the Fargo blogging community.
  • Selected, not exhaustive — the word "selected" signals editorial choice. Blogs that exist but aren't picked won't appear.
  • External origin — the content is pulled from those bloggers' own sites, so the page is a window onto them rather than the place where they publish.

How to Read the Items You See

Because the page aggregates external feeds, treat each entry as a pointer:

What you see What it means
A post title or excerpt A preview of content hosted on the blogger's own site
A link The route to the full post on that external blog
The overall list A snapshot of currently selected Fargo-community feeds

If a post interests you, follow the link to the original blog — that's where the full text, comments, and any updates live.

What This Page Is Not

It helps to be clear about the limits:

  • It is not a full index of Fargo bloggers. Selection means some are left out.
  • It is not the publishing platform. The bloggers write elsewhere; this page only surfaces their feeds.
  • It is not a general RSS reader for any feed you choose. The scope is the Fargo community as selected here.

Why the Selection Matters

A curated river like this reflects a community project rather than an automated firehose. The page notes that the design and implementation of the first beautiful River2 template was itself a community effort, which fits the pattern: people from the community choosing feeds from the community. That's useful context when you're deciding how much to rely on the page as a representative view of Fargo blogging — it's a thoughtful sample, not a census.
