Yes, you read that right, I am calling the new incarnation the Planet Low Country (PLC for short), is up and running full force, aggregating all our blogs together automatically. This, in conjunction with Jared’s planet shall do nicely to give everyone in the Low Country a central place to visit and check on updates around the area from their latest favorite blog sites. I was starting on doing my part to contribute when a nasty succession of hardware failures by my hosting provider, compounded by human errors on their end (remember, it’s never my fault!), left me totally without a connection even to my content for management and updates. (Really, it wasn’t my fault…) Then, as I struggled in communicating with them, work also had some fun times with heat-realted power outages. Thus, it’s been a few days… Anyway, I had been thinking on an even larger scale aggregator to include all of South Carolina! Yes, that’s right, the ultimate contradiction in terms: a Planet South Carolina - where the entire state could be sectioned off by area (Low Country, Islands, Midlands, Upstate, etc.) with aggregation happening by region. Well, the domain has now propagated so hopefully with the help of Jared, this should soon become a reality as well. Thoughts on this are welcome as well! You may resume your regularly scheduled surfing. Oh, and for the visual POTD - here is a shot from one of the sunrise shoots last fall, courtesy of yours truly!

Is there already a site ready to go with the SC blogs?
If not, I’m creating an aggregate as we speak of SC blogs–albeit a small one so far.
It’s at palmettoforum.com.
I don’t use Planet, but I use a wordpress plugin to accomplish the same thing.

Yes there is a main site where the links for Chapter sites can be accessed from at: http://www.scphotogs.com From there you can access the two chapter sites at http://www.sumtershutterbugs.com (for the Sumter Chapter), and http://www.scphotogs.com/charleston (for the Charleston Chapter).
Inside the Charleston page there are links to the galleries, forums, and other useful info, some of which is imbedded on the right hand panel here - primarily gallery albums and the forums as these see the most activity.
