Ashley Norris has written an interesting piece: How many British blogs can you name?.

I only picked it up because he kindly linked in to the Blue Fish Network, which is doing rather well at the moment.

We’re certainly not all British bloggers, in fact we’re quite a diverse bunch, but I am discovering new UK writers through it.

It’s cool to be picked up on by a larger UK network. It’s also quite interesting because early last year there was the possibility of doing some freelance work with Shiny Media.

It didn’t happen, and some months later (mainly because I had a handful of unconnected sites, and my wife had just started a blog) the Blue Fish Network was born.

Who knows where blogging, blog networks, and blogging in Britain will go this year. Everyone seems to have their ideas and predictions – from the newest blogger to the CEOs in major publishing companies (the ones that have heard of blogs, at least).

Shiny are organising a UK PR tour and it will be interesting to see what comes from that. I know others are involved in pushing blogging forward, too.

It’s certainly true that UK blogging is undernourished and undervalued, as compared to the US. That certainly doesn’t mean it’s not strong.
