Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few weeks, you probably know that the 2008 Democratic National Convention is well underway in Denver, Colorado.

If you've been following the traditional media's coverage of the convention, you might get the impression that Demorats are squabbling nonstop out here in the Mile High City. Hopefully you're wise enough to be skeptical of what you read in the newspaper or hear on television.

Either way, if you're curious to know what's happening here, new media is going to be your best bet.

At NPI, we're doing our best to provide everyone back home with thoughtful, timely, and useful convention coverage.

We've just released an update to Pacific NW Portal's front page that allows you to better track what's going on. Among the special features are a news ticker that flashes the latest happenings from the Mile High City, a widget displaying the latest image from our photostream, and an aggregator indexing local blogs that have writers in Denver to cover the convention.

And we're liveblogging almost nonstop, following the speeches, the parties, the state delegations, the special events happening around the Convention, and more. A roundup of our posts is below the jump.
