   Added some I know about and spreading the word. (As an aside, this is exactly the kind of thing OutMap will make easier.)

   Nick and co started doing this for Birmingham a while back. http://bevocal.org.uk/brum-blogs/

   I believe they ran into problems of definition, but semantics was always an issue in this game.

   You’re welcome to scrap http://loblobrum.tumblr.com/ – my list of local blogs in Birmingham. But be careful. I’ve included some which aren’t local blogs but appear to be. In my opinion.

   I’m having a conversation with wikio.co.uk about the possibility of a category for “local blogs” (or an equivalent name), aimed at blogs which primarily identify themselves by their area, region or community.

   My thought here is to give locally orientated blogs a better profile than to be spread out across many other non-quite-appropriate categories.

   Wikio are interested, but it would be good to hear any comments from people running such sites.

   What do you think? It would need a number of blogs to say “yes we’d like to do that”.

   http://manchizzle.blogspot.com/ is a hub for masses of Manchester blogs. Well worth a trawl…

   This is a brilliant idea. Mine is located in Leicestershire but really it applies just as much to Manchester. Looking forward to browsing some of the other blogs out there.

   Very similar to what we’re trying to do over at BeVocal.org.uk with the hyper-local brum bloggers’ map

   If anyone has data I’m happy to share the spreadsheet, which I’ll publish at some point anyway.

   I’ve just added it to the list but I thought I’d post a link here too. It’s fairly self explanatory:

    More later, but I’ve just released a directory of Local Blogs and Websites based on my own lists and some of those submitted via the form.

    Here:

    http://www.nutshell.org.uk/

    It is still very bare bones, and there’s a lot more data to add.

    I don’t know any local blogs but it’s a good idea, so I just tweeted this page url
