Why?

Because I'm a blogger organizer, it's like herding cats! I've created Kansas City Blogger blog so that others in the area can find us. Not so much as a blog but place where there is a list of local bloggers. I will add them as I find them. If you want to get on , or off the list email me. I can't find them all, I can't read them all.

Nice job!

I think you have everyone!

Very awesome, Miss Moneypenny. :)

"The D" said...

Why was I not informed of such shenanigans?

More importantly why didn't I think of this?

(punching self in face)

Tony said...

Awesome!!! Where do we go to get a link? I already linked this puppy up on my blog.

Tony said...

Small detail Spyder . . . Are we talking about just in reference to this blog and this particular cadre of bloggers or all of my blog content.

Just wondering. Also, I wanted to thank you twice for linking me!!! You're very nice.

One last thing . . . As an amateur journo, I'd like to know the official plan for the blog? The mission statement if you will. Not a rush, and I'm more than willing to wait and see. I remember the old KC Bloggers had guest posts and was a bit of a group blog until the moderator started deleting posts that were deemed offensive. Still, it was a good start.

I think you have a good start here and I'm having a great time checking out some of those links that I wasn't even aware of . . .

So, what I've gathered is that Nightmare is making the banner. You've done an awesome job in compiling links . . . And now we wait to check out the content. I'm excited to see the "army of Davids" organizing and I just wonder if it'll be a community project, under on single strong leader (like Spyder) or comprised of a council of leaders.

Just wondering and just wanted to note that this is a good idea once again.

Spyder said...

Tony- Excuse my ignorance. I grew up in Canada & english is my second language. What does "army of Davids" mean?

Nightmare is to be working on a logo. Maybe like the Greg Beck sticker he did many of us have on our vehicles.

LOL! You thanked me twice & I had you linked twice. So I've already removed you once...

Official plan/mission statement is to have a list of as many local bloggers as possible. The community project is people telling me about blogs they have found, and their own for me to link in the list. Beyond that I haven't decided. No guest spots, no debates....

Donna. W said...

Good job. I linked to it on my blog. Thanks for including me... I'm not IN KC, but I'm only 30 miles away!

Donna. W said...

Here's a good KC blog. And she gives sex toy parties.

Nice job!

Chimpotle said...

Can you fix my link to just be chimpotle.com?

Faith said...

Happy day. This is a good idea.

D, save some face for the rest of us! I haven't seen you in too long, and I might need a face t punch by the time I get to again!

I'm sure this is another place that meet-up notifications will be posted as well, right Spyder? So maybe you can count on that kind of content, Tony. Not that it makes a difference to you, except for giving you the opportunity to mock us elitist white bloggers for getting together in person now and again.

Hey There! I'm Amanda! said...

Thanks for the link, Spyder. Great idea!

Nobody ever invites me to join blogger communities...snif.

Danny Regan said...

And by that I mean, please add me to your list. If I was being too subtle.

Xavier Onassis said...

With all of the blogs popping up like Morels, I think you've created a monster for yourself, Spyder.

What's the old saying...be careful what you wish for?

Spyder said...

XO- Thanks!

the D- I didn't tell anyone so don't get your knickers in a twist. Why you didn't think of this? I'm older & smarter! LOL

Tony - You're welcome. I talked enough with you already.

Moxie - I have it in spades (moxie that is, just ask the hubby!)

James- Aaaaaa Ok? I hope "mein freund" means my friend. You start calling me names & I may have you put you on notice like Tony. At least he won't feel like I'm picking on him only. LOL

Keith- nooo this is the place for liberals ( shhhhh don't tell Faith)


I can see that I will be busy tonight & many more nights. I will be stopping by your blogs & checking out your local links.

Shane said...

Now, what we need to do is find a web developer who can use that fancy RSS thing to feed the site.

Spyder said...

Shane- aaaaa what? Someone will have to help me with that.

Spyder said...

Woowooo! I rawck! I think I got the RSS feed on there now. I'm becoming more geeky as the days go by.

Fred Sanford said...

cool breeze, spyder...

Well Hell Michelle said...

I tried to read http://blogthatmommy.blogspot.com/, but it locked up both computers I tried it on :(

Spyder said...

Michelle- Do I have her listed?

AJ said...

Spyder, great idea and about time someone made a list. Thanks! Up until now, exploring local blogs was kind of hit or miss.

Spyder said...

Shicho & Ariel- Thanks!

Michelle- I got her added.

Nice idea. Can we be linked on your blog?

Spyder said...

Pensive- That would be great. Watch here or my personal blog for when & where.

Blue- You're on now!

I live just south of Kansas City. This is a wonderful idea and I too, am wondering why I didnt think of it.
