The main aspect of the site, of course, is the blog posts starting directly under the banner. Each of the posts allows you to make comments on anything in the post (or whatever you'd like to comment about). The site shows the most recent 15 posts.
If you scroll all the way down past the last post, you'll see a set of RSS feeds from area and national newspapers, including the North County Times, San Diego Union Tribune (SignOnSanDiego), the Los Angels Times, the New York Times, McClatchy, and Britain's The Guardian. Each of the feeds provides links to five of the most recent stories from each, whether politically-oriented or otherwise.
Moving to the right column, under the Google ad is a search function that lets you search for any text within the site's posts. Under that are links to the California Redistricting Commission (CAC) and the San Diego City Redistricting Commission. Directly under that is a Twitter feed from the Rose Institute, which has been tweeting a lot about the CAC lately.
under the redistricting links are links to the home webpages for each of California's Senators and San Diego-area House of Representatives members, as well as for San Diego-area California Assembly members and state senators. These are helpful if you want to write or email your representatives.
Next, going down the right column, are links to selected political blogs that stand out from the rest of the crowd. Reading one or more of these is certain to make you more informed about at least US politics. Under that list is a list of other political websites that are more like newspapers.
Next, going down the right column, is a list of organics-related websites. This list, in particular, is still under construction.
Finally, after functionalities that let you subscribe to the site, is an archive of past posts, in reverse chronological order.
