There's been a fabulous response to the Start a Blog Challenge.So far 5 people have clicked on "I've started a new blog" in the Start a Blog challenge poll (in the right-hand sidebar). But only two have told me where to find their blogs:
Ilex started Homesteading in a Condo, and Grant is writing Grant's Rants.
Lisa promises to start a blog soon. Be sure to tell us where to find it, Lisa.
And several people have told me about blogs they already had. Some of them I knew about already, and some were new to me.
Suzanne writes The Tale of my Allotment. Wicked Gardener writes Wicked Gardener. The Shopping Sherpa writes The Shopping Sherpa. Sandra writes Sandra's Garden. Kethry writes Urbania to Stoneheads. VP writes Veg Plotting. Benjymous writes Grapefruitopia. Martian writes Life on Mars. The Crafty Gardener has a whopping four blogs - The Gardener Side of Crafty Gardener, Sow then Grow ... by Crafty Gardener, The Crafty Side of Crafty Gardener and Crafts & Swaps for Guiding Members. Heather T is also a multi-blog blogger, writing Tinky McFrog (a knitting blog) and Make A Bag (which does exactly what it says on the tin). Heather says:
Make A Bag gets a couple hundred visitors per week, but very few returns and even fewer comments. I'd love it if people would go over and leave me a comment about the site!
Green Digit Media runs Best Green Blogs, a directory site for green blogs, natch. You should all submit your blogs there to help increase your own readership, and to join in the community of green bloggers.
Blotanical has also been mentioned. It's a gardening directory site, so if your blog is about gardening submit it there as well. Of course you can also use Best Green Blogs and Blotanical to find other great blogs. Reading other people's blogs and responding to them is all part of this community of bloggers. If you don't already have a blog of your own, I challenge you to start one and join the community. Tell us where to find it by leaving a comment, and don't forget to vote in the poll in the right-hand sidebar.

I'd been thinking about starting a blog for months now. Part of me wanted to get stuff off my chest and another part of me really didn't need yet another commitment. Your Blog Challenge finally let the better half come through. :-)
Give me time though, compared to blogs like yours, Crunchy Chicken, Fake Plastic Fish, and all of the others...I'm taking baby steps towards being green. Cutting down on plastic and public transportation has been a big step for me. Moving on to using dookie rags and grey water may take a little longer. ;-)
This post is a great collection of interesting blogs. I almost wish I hadn't started mine so I could start it again. Sort of.
You want blog? You got blog! I've had a blog of randomness on Livejournal for ages, but will henceforth attempt something a little more structured. Of course, it's completely empty at the moment (it's past my bedtime already!) but I shall get blogging tomorrow. Hopefully. Oh sod it, I'll start now :)

hi!
allotment5andahalf is my umpteenth blog, but the first devoted exclusively to my gardening exploits and mishaps.
i've just taken possession* of half an allotment in rural north devon. my first bash at serious veg growing.

* - though the parish council haven't cottoned on to the fact yet.
Those look like my Waggon! Where are they?
I hope this posts ~ dial-up in Rural Ireland is so dire that I haven't been able to update my blogs or site :(
Looking at that photo again I WANT MY VARDO BACK :(. It stayed in Bristol for repair work when we moved & is still in Somerset. I miss him dreadfully. I need someone to bring him over as the ferries won't let me take my horse on the ferry to pull my Waggon onto the ferry & bring it here ~ Vardo & Grai must both be fuel-driven in/on vehicles for ferry travel. Going to cuddle my *Gypsy dog & have a little weep over my lack of Waggon
*Bedlington Terrier ~ a recognized breed now, but in reality a tiny rough coat Lurcher
