Patrick Havens did an excellent job on wordcamp.info telling us a little about each attendee, but so far as I know, this is the first semi-organized list of all the blogs. Note that this is just the “main” blog link that people included (if they chose to do so) on the Wordcamp registration form. Also, there are some sites that did not include a blog – I haven’t included those sites – this list is JUST FOR BLOGS. There are a couple sites that appear to be using Wordpress to manage the site but don’t include a blog. Those, I also left out. Anyone whose blog is on a business website and the blog’s content is dealing with the business, even if there’s some LOLcats or Wordcamp reviews in there, you’re “Corporate”. That includes a few design practices, but not all of them.

Oh, and anything that requires a signup is not on the list, sorry BuddySlim.

If you have a beef with your category – leave it in comments. Yes, the term “geekery” could be applied to pretty much any of these – I went with the “most obvious” theme to determine a site’s “category”. Also, I’ve not included anyone who has a blog, but no posts. If you’re displaying only the “Hello World” post, you’ll get on the list when there’s content. There are only a couple of non-English blogs on the list, just listed among the others.

Here’s the list: It’s very big – I’m putting behind a cut. I may turn this into a page for ease of reference:

I’m working on my master list of Wordcamper’s blogs, and I found this post on Kingsley 2.0:

Nokia Kicking MotoButt. This is News?

It’s short, and worth a read. It’s good to remember that there are more people “outside” our circle than “inside”. Whatever that circle may be.

In most cases I have linked to people’s “personal” blogs where that was a choice, and then there are people like Mark Jaquith that requested links to their main page since they have several blogs. Thanks to all you presenters for your time and preparation. I definitely am glad I came down for WordCamp this year.

I’ll be doing this for the attendees blogs as well, organized by category. That will take me a bit, so be patient, and don’t bogart my idea!
