Spokane Blogroll, Anyone?

I’m toying with the idea of adding another blogroll to my right rail — to link to Spokane area blogs that were orphaned when we switched blogware in mid-December. I picked through an old list of regional blogs and found 17 Spokane area blogs that are still active. I’ll probably cut that list down to a dozen or so, toss in our SR blogs — and mebbe run a round-up once a week or so. Some of HBO’s favorite bloggers — JeanieS, CindyH, Toad, JBelle, David Laird, etc. — come from Spokane. It would be interesting to see if we can add others to the list by blog-rolling them.

Question: What do you think? Is there room for more Spokane bloggers in the HBO Blogosphere?

Of course there is room. Spokane is, after all, our bedroom community and should be accorded all courtesies. Seriously, though, we are in such close proximity, Spokaloonians are closer and have more in common with us than the Boise or Treasure Valley are, which is like 400 miles away. Welcome aboard, I say!

Technically, I’m not a blogger.
I’m a commenter on the blogs of others.
Is that OK?

It doesn’t, Cindy. you should start a blog!

A blog, but I have absolutely nothing to blog about.
Hey! I could have a blog about nothing!
Er. Wait a minute…is someone else already doing that?
Sam on March 25 at 8:53 p.m.
Cindy - it’s blogging. It doesn’t matter one bit if someone else is doing it!

And of course you have things to blog about. I thought you were a writer. :p

Then again, I’m blog-free since ‘83 and it’s been really nice.

Blogging is my fix. I love it. It’s like a journal that others peek at. Sometimes it is so good. Other times it can be bland. But it’s a fix for me - better than any other vice - except sex and wine.

Good morning, everyone…

I have been somewhat remiss in the last few days, due to a number of contingent software upgrades in my real day job, but blog? Generally I do not have the time to blog. I barely have enough time to write, and even then that sometimes falls by the wayside when the real world intervenes.

Of course some of my messages I post are too long for HO to begin with, as some may remember.

If you’re looking for Spokane blogs, you’re always welcome to link to Spokane Regional Transportation Council’s blog at http://srtctransportation.blogspot.com/. We’re KMPO’s ‘sister’ agency. And with so many people commuting back and forth between Spokane and North Idaho, it can’t help to keep informed as to what’s going on transportation-wise. Just had to get my plug in. Thanks :)
