I'm just wondering if they still add new wonders to the "wonders of the world list". My family had a talk about this during a picnic, and I really became interested, but I can't find any websites on the internet that provide updates of new world wonders. Can somebody please help me find a website or blog that contiously updates on new wonders of the world if there is one. Thanks!

Yes. Wikipedia has a great bit on the original seven, modern wonders, sea wonders, travel wonders, etc and it talks about an organization looking to vote on a new seven!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Wonders_of_the_World
Some contenders for a new seven wonders are:
The Eiffel Tower
The Statue of Liberty
The Taj Mahal
The Colosseum
The Great Wall of China
All of these wonders of their own even if they aren't of the ancient seven.
Incidentally, only the Pyramid @ Giza is still standing out of the original seven.

The original list was put together by Ancient Greeks.
I am sure that there are many different lists today.
I just googled someting in yahoo and some interesting sites came up.
I don't think you can ADD to ancient wonders.
New lists are always added.
BY THE WAY.. WHAT A GREAT QUESTION. YOU DESERVE EXTRA POINTS.

I believe so.
It used to be:
Grand Canyon
Niagara Falls
Taj Mahal
Yellowstone National Park
Eiffle Tower
Sisteenth Chapel
Louvre
But I think the only one left on the list is The Grand Canyon.
