New DITA Blogroll

We have a new DITA blogroll page on the DITA.XML.org Focus Area, and while it no doubt improves the findability for DITA resources, it does raise questions of information architecture for DITA.XML.org and other sites supporting DITA.

We have a main Blogs section on the home page. It would be good if someone clicking on that link found a link to the new DITA Blogroll.

I have a similar problem over at DITANews.com. There I try to aggregate blog posts from all the important DITA bloggers.  As new DITA blogs get added on this new Blogroll I will add them to my aggregation of the latest DITA News, so the latest posts to all DITA blogs will appear in one place on the web.

Which brings up DITABlog.com, a WordPress site where I hoped to get a group blog going. Group blogs can sometimes strengthen each blogger's voice by playing one blogger off against another in conversational threads that you don't get in a single blog with comments.

Perhaps DITABlog.com site is redundant with the Blogs area at DITA.XML.org?  Any thoughts? DITABlog.com has good search engine ranking, and in general the more websites that interlink the better. All ships rise with an incoming tide.
