We have had almost 140 blogs and websites added, albeit with a certain amount of "creative marketing" in the mix, which will reduce the total - depending on the criteria used by each person using the data.

There are so many blogs which can be called "local", with a wide range of purposes, that I think we are likely to end up with a series of directories rather than a single monolithic website. Otherwise the directory might become so large as to be unmaintainable.

I have an interest in independent commentary and a movement to rebuild politics from the grassroots upwards. I think a key to this is to react to the recent political scandals by seeking a broader, more rounded view of politics, rather than either rejecting or ignoring political life.

So I'm kicking off with a directory - called Nutshell.
