Back in August, the Washington Post announced a Blogroll Program. Basically, the Post is encouraging bloggers to submit their sites to the new Blogroll Program. The Post will weed through all the submitted blogs and choose the best of the best.

The blogs that are chosen will then be included on a rotating basis on the Post homepage and in their blog directory. In addition, the Post advertising team will help sell advertising on the blogs they list in their directory.

Apparently, the program is gearing up as they have launched their own blog abut the program and sent out an email saying they are starting the process of sifting through the 1,200 blogs that have been submitted so far. Note they might want to give that blog a look in Firefox 2.0 – it ain’t pretty.
