I will also add belated thanks to the coders who put in a lot of time over the years designing and maintaining the wonderful MA site. I could never quite figure out who ran the technical side of the operation, but the likely suspects are J (of BCC), Geoff (of New Cool Thang), Geoff&#8217;s brother (related to New Cool Thang), and Rusty (of Nine Moons). Thank you, gentlemen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For several years now, the Mormon Archipelago aggregator site (which used to be found here) has served as a relatively complete listing of LDS blogs and also provided real-time feeds listing recent posts.
