The Poverty Blogosphere?

Help me build it, people!

My dissertation proposal colloquium was a smashing but very intense success yesterday - special thanks to all the well wishers here at PiA!

Now maybe you all can help me build out the poverty blogosphere as I know it.  My Google reader really filled up over 2008 in response to the elections.  The political sites I frequent sporadically mention poverty, and it's the same good peeps raising the issue over and over.  So my question to readers here is...

What blogs do you read to learn more about poverty?  Besides Change.org, what sites do you frequent?

Help!

Our trusty intern Mike found the following for me:

(the like-mindedly named) Poverty in America;

Bread Blog;

Blog for Rural America;

Poverty News Blog.

Several of these are focused on global and domestic poverty.  I also know that topical sites like Where (urbanism) and the afore-linked Racewire cover poverty, as do sites like the Institute for Southern Studies' new webzine, Facing South.

Frankly, I'm looking to link up with others writing about this topic around the 'sphere.  What'dya got for me??
