Local Blogging Birmingham

There are a hell of a lot of local blogs* springing up in Birmingham UK. I can't keep track of them. This is to help me.

Me being peteashton.

If you'd like to suggest a blog for the blog @ me on Twitter or leave a comment here.

* Local blogs are defined as blogs (or things that are sort of like blogs in that they publish stuff on the Internet in date order) that cover a specific area and nothing else. If that area were to vanish the blog would have no purpose. Someone who blogs about their local area and fishing and carpentry, they don't get in. It's all or nothing.

If you want a stupidly long list of Birmingham-based blogs check this bastard out. Then you're understand why I'm keeping a strict criteria.

 

Acocks Green Focus Group

And another Acocks Green blog. They come in threes it seems. This one is for “a Conservation and Re-Design Group” and whoever is running this has really gotten their teeth into it. It ticks pretty much all the boxes. Good conversational style, opinionated but welcoming other opinions, links to sources for further reading, and above all has a tangible sense of the place about it. Whereas the neighbourhood forum blog could be about anywhere (not to criticize it - it’s only just started) this one is definitely about somewhere specific. Top stuff.
