The term Blogging Tory refers to any one of the many authors affiliated with the conservative Canadian community known as The Blogging Tories. Today, there are over a hundred and fifty text-based weblogs associated with the group, and there are new Blogging Tories every day. The Tories stand as an encouraging example of a successful online community where the ever-growing numbers of affiliated members enjoy a fertile environment for discussion and debate about the ideas that shape the face of Canada
The majority of Tory bloggers do make political events and topics the focus of their blogs, but not all of the content that a Blogging Tory creates and publishes is overtly similar to the movements of the Canadian parliament or the prime minister. Granting the community members were brought together by a shared conservative viewpoint, the fact that not all of the postings on all of the member's blogs center on political topics is one of the most thrilling things about the Blogging Tories. On any given day, the basic web site's blogroll may feature postings about Olympic medalists, a James Bond film festival in Quebec, or a comical personal experience with a telemarketer. The concept that having a political affiliation in common makes it possible to have a conducive discussion regarding other sorts of topics has interesting implications for how online communities are established and how they grow.
