Alexia maintains a wonderful portal for the community, The EVE Online Portal at http://www.evebloggers.com.  It’s a great resource for people to find many different pieces of information concerning EVE Online.

What I find really cool is the RSS aggregation that updates for all the EVE Online blogs in real time and thus we come to the point of my post here.

As you are well aware, I maintain an OPML download file for RSS readers for the EVE Online Community.  It’s a lot of work to maintain and I have a lot of help from the bloggers and the readers in keeping the file populated with all the EVE related blogs out there.

Alexia and I work closely together to ensure that we both have the same blogs listed in our services.  Such work in all honestly is time consuming and creates confusion.  It confuses us when we are updating our blog lists and it confuses people as to where they should go to find the latest information on EVE blogs.

As the old saying goes, the less hands in the pie, the less mess.  So will be true for OPML files for our community.

From this point forward, there will be ONE OPML Download file.   This file will be obtainable from Alexia’s wonderful site.   Alexia has given me a user account on The EVE Online Portal so we both can easily continue our work in bringing the best and most up to date EVE Blogging resources to the community.

So, please head over to The EVE Online Portal at http://www.evebloggers.com and enjoy the fruits of our labor!

This is my blogroll or website listing.  It’s broken out in categories.

If you are looking for my listing of EVE Player Blogs, I have removed my listing as it was a duplicate of the many listings that exist. Trying to keep all this separate lists in sync was a lot of work for everyone and it simply did not make sense.  So, to find the most up to date listing centralized listing, head over to The EVE Online Portal at http://www.evebloggers.com.

EVE Player Blogs OPML Historical Archive

Comments Off

opmlicon There are a great number of EVE player blogs out there.  I am amazed of how the number has grown over the years.

For everyone’s convenience, Alexia has a wonderful service, The EVE Online Portal (http://www.evebloggers.com).  This website aggregates all the RSS feeds for every blog in EVE Online.

I personally like to read things in a reader, makes it easier to get everything at once.  Fortunately, most blogs have RSS support, so, I can get my EVE Blog fix in my favorite RSS reader.

I used to maintain an OPML file with all the blogs I found as I wandered around the web.  I maintained this file for the community for over 2 years.  In that time, the OPML file has grown and grown to over 500 live sites.  Unfortunately, not all of those blogs are active blogs.  Some have not seen any new posts in literally years.

Mandrill over at I am Keith Neilson maintains a different sort of animal.  He has a OPML file that only contains active blogs.  It’s streamlined and has constant maintenance to adjust for blogs that are no longer active so that you will always have access to fresh content.

Head over to http://keithneilson.co.uk/eve-bloggers-opml-download for your OPML file for the most fresh EVE blogging content.

As for the OPML file I used to maintain, I will continue to do so, however, this file is more of an archive of EVE blogs, both active and quiet.  It’s nice to read the old blogs from time to time for perspective, older guides that are still useful, etc.
