Here's a new lefty political blog from Austin for you to check out: The View from the Left. He's got an RSS feed, so a subscription to same can be found in my Bloglines blogs.

Other recently-added subscriptions include:

- This Blog Is Full of Crap, the new home of Laurence Simon, founder of the now-defunct Amish Tech Support.

- The Joe Hill Dispatch, Fort Worth bureau (they also have an Atlanta version). Mostly news-roundup-y, but a good source of stories that may not make your radar otherwise.

- Free State Standard, an even more ambitious newsy site that is aiming to get contributors from every county in Texas.

- Panhandle Truth Squad, one of two West Texas-based progressive blogs that I know of.

- Back Roads of San Angelo, the other one, which looks like it just made a feed available (if it was there before now and I hadn't noticed yet, I apologize).

- Reveries of the Solitary Blogger, which is not new but is newly feed-enabled.

And going a little further back, there's Liberty's Blog, Houston's Clear Thinkers, Safety for Dummies, and Roman Candles.

Blogs come and go, and however you handle blogroll/subscription maintenance, keeping up with it is a PITA sometimes. If your link hasn't been added/updated yet, hold on, I promise I'll get to it eventually. And remember, an RSS feed is your friend. It's certainly my friend for keeping up with all this stuff.
