Bloggers

Dates in brackets refer to the last update (checked on 2nd Jan 2003) or the date I added the blog.

If you want to be added, just mail me at blog(at_sign)AndyPryke.com - it would be good if you let me know where you live (i.e area, rather than house number smile ) I'm happy to add a link to any blog in Birmingham or the surrounding areas.

I'm not trying to shamelessly steal the idea from Nigel Corbett at: http://www.birminghambloggers.bravepages.com , it's just easier to maintain my own list.

BlogChalk

This is my blogchalk: United Kingdom, West Midlands, Birmingham

BlogChalk lets people find blogs near them. You can generate the codes using this site - http://www.blogchalking.tk/ - but it didn't work for me in Opera.

You can search for other people in the same area like this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=blogchalk+%22United+Kingdom%2C+West+Midlands%2C+Birmingham%22&btnG=Google+Search
