Undue Attention
The blog that serves as a supplement to John Perry, Michael Bratman, and John Martin Fischer’s Introduction to Philosophy links to OrangePhilosophy as an example of a department-based grad student philosophy blog. Unfortunately, the grad students in question haven't been contributing enough to keep the blog active. If I could find enough interest, I'd be happy to resume regular posting to this blog, but the current grad students don't seem to be very interested in blogging at the moment, and I'm not going to maintain an active philosophy blog here while I've already got my own personal blog.
There are several department-based philosophy blogs that are still active, and anyone coming here from the above link can turn to those as examples of what this link was supposed to serve. Those include Show Me the Argument (University of Missouri) and Go Grue (Michigan), which are very active. Ungrounded Dispositions (Buffalo) has become somewhat active in the last month or so. Less active blogs include This is Not the Name of This Blog (Rochester), What Is It Like to Be a Blog? (UConn), Unideal Observers (Bowling Green), Desert Landscapes (University of Arizona), Undetached Rabbit Parts (Western Michigan), The Web of Belief (Tufts), and the UCSB Philosophy Blog. The Florida Student Philosophy Blog is hosted by the University of North Florida, but they have contributors from other schools in Florida, and Prior Knowledge has contributors from New Zealand. Inactive (but potentially in the market for resuming as far as I know) is Fake Barn Country (Brown). Currently there is none, so I can't link to it.
David Chalmers maintains a list of philosophy blogs. It's not always up-to-date. Some of the links there now are dead, and there may be some excellent new blogs not on his radar yet (or that he hasn't had the chance to add). But it's worth checking back every now and then to see if he has anything new.

Thanks. I thought there'd been a resurgence, but I couldn't find it. I'm not sure why. Well, it's been added, anyway.
