Today, I have finally set up what I’ve had in mind for a long while now: Planet Atheism.
If you go there right now (it will probably be quite different if you go there in a couple of days), you may be a little confused, since it’s, apparently, just Way of the Mind posts! That’s because I haven’t added any other blogs yet, and won’t do so without permission (or a request) from each blogger.
In the next couple of days, I’ll be inviting by email the owners of several atheist blogs, some of which I already read regularly, and others from lists such as The Atheist Blogroll.
But, meanwhile, if you have an atheism-related blog, just email me (the address begins with “join”, has an “@” in the middle, and ends with “planetatheism.com” 
), and I’ll add it there.
This should increase your readership, especially – but not only – among other atheist bloggers. Each post will list you as the author, and include a link to your blog. Everything there still belongs to the author; Planet Atheism simply aggregates it. Think of it as a public feed reader.
Just a few conditions:
- the blog should be mostly about atheism. That means that at least half its posts should be about atheism, what’s wrong with religion, new attempts to turn your country into a theocracy, disputing apologists’ arguments, and so on. If you don’t believe in a god, but blog mostly about other things… sorry, no can do.
- the blog shouldn’t be too new. At least a month old, and with regular posts. If you started it yesterday, wait a month.
- the blog should have full RSS feeds, not just small excerpts. Most Blogspot blogs do so. In WordPress, Movable Type and others, it’s configurable. This one is a preference, not a hard rule.
Oh, and since it’s fashionable these days, consider Planet Atheism “beta“.
EDIT: there is now a Planet Atheism permanent page, linked just below the logo. It includes some more technical stuff, too.
No related posts.

I predict a VERY interesting place for reading every morning.

This sounds a lot like Atheist Blogs Aggregated http://atheistblogs.co.uk/
Still, I’m in.
[...] From the start, I made it my policy not to add any blog’s feed to PA without express permission from the blogger, even though I could — both technically, and legally — do so. Therefore, I posted about it in Way of the Mind, and I’ve also been contacting the owners of other atheist blogs, asking their permission. [...]
