thetolkienist.com is a blog and news-portal run by an individual, Marcel Aubron-Bülles, with the purpose of serving the online Tolkien community. It is not a forum or encyclopedic reference site. This website consists of a newsletter, archives of quotes, interesting articles regarding film, and various exhibitions and blog-series that direct attention toward others' Middle-earth-related endeavors (much like councilofelrond.com), such as original music inspired by Tolkien's books, and painted travel posters.
