It is not my intention to just link to my own articles on WebProNews everyday on this blog. It just so happens that I’ve been covering stuff that seems relevant here, so if the shoe fits…

Those of you out there who blog about current news topics might be interested to know that Yahoo! News has a redesign in the works that will feature a section where blogs covering news items can get some links.

To see the new design, you can go to any Yahoo! News article page and alter the URL slightly, replacing the “S” with “Story” in the following manner:

news.yahoo.com/s/…

news.yahoo.com/story/…

I have not heard anything about when Yahoo! intends to roll this new design out, but once they do, it should be a good way for bloggers to pick up some good promotion. Yahoo! News is pretty popular, so it should drive a good amount of traffic to the blogs it features.

For more on the topic, read my WebProNews piece.

I promise this blog won’t consist entirely of retreads of my own work as time goes on, but I don’t know how many of you are WebProNews readers anyway, and there’s some crossover in topics of interest.

I like how Yahoo is tapping into the blogging world. I appreciate the personal and down to earth feel that most blog posts offer. Yahoo is attempting to put everything you want right on your homepage. Unfortunately, Yahoo doesn’t put Google search boxes at the top of these home pages.

You’re right about Yahoo! wanting to put everything you want on your homepage. They just announced that they’re allowing third party apps on their sites.
