A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger". Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominently. I lay no claim that this site is original or a first of it`s kind. The only reason I created it was, after a few email discussions with fellow Scots, there didn`t seem to be one central place to locate fellow bloggers of Scottish descent or location.
There are two sources of inspiration for this one, the main one being sites like Chicago Bloggers and London Bloggers, the second was that, simply, some people can`t add webring code to their site (or don`t want to) but DO want to be listed somewhere. So the directory is an alternative to the webring (which is how this all started), and hopefully will provide a good starting point for anyone wanting to find out more about anyone with a Scottish Blog. A little background for you. I was a member of the Blogging Brits Webring, and I`ve enjoyed reading some of the sites from around the UK. I slowly built a list of Scottish Blogs, but could never find one central point that listed them all (or any for that matter). So, inspired by Lynn at Blogging Brits, and after an email or two from a couple of fellow Scottish bloggers, I setup up the Scottish Blogs webring. This site was built, by hand in HomeSite.
