I expected things to be dead while I was on vacation, but what I didn’t expect was such a huge influx of visitors on my first post back. Thank you so much everyone for visiting me. I feel quite popular!
I’ve got lots to share about Hawaii, my new blog directory, and NaNoWriMo, but I’ll try to take this one step at a time. Since my post about Hawaii is going to be very image heavy, and I don’t yet have my notes typed in for NaNoWriMo, today we get to talk about the blog directory.
The Written Connection is my attempt to help the blogging community out by connecting it together. I haven’t finished the logo yet, but it’s going to be a Moa Chicken. ^^ Wait till you see my pictures of Hawaii’s jungle fowl. You’ll love them.
The goal of this blog directory is to make it easier to find other writing blogs. Right now, the only way I can find a new blog to read is through the wordpress search engine. This gives me almost no access to blogspot, and certainly no domain blogs like my noveling blog, www.uninvoked.com has. We need to change this, and you can help!
If you have a writing related blog, please tell me about it. I would love to include you in my directory. If you know of other great people not listed, please provide me with links. Please also consider linking to the blog, tweeting, or facebooking the link. The more people we can get to step up, the more traffic everyone will get. ^^

Cool. I agree that there is a need for this. It’s not easy to find blogs of writers. My keyword search at the right top of my homepage is not working well. Ha! Blessings to you…

I don’t always write about writing, but a lot of writers do follow me and I get a lot of email about writing struggles and victories, so I guess without realizing it, I am hosting a writing-related blog.

p.s. I’m not one bit jealous of your going to Hawaii. Not one bit.

Carol – The worst part is, wordpress is the most searchable blog host there is. For every 10 wordpress blogs I stumble on, I am introduced to one blogspot/live journal/domain blog. The only way to find these blogs is through other readers. That’s just too hard.
Marilyn – Almost all your posts connect to writing in some way, so it works just fine as a writing blog. Do you want to be added?

This is just what I’ve been looking for – the WordPress search engine can be quite frustratingly crap at times. Count me in!
