Obviously, you all know that I’m obsessed with blogging. Right? I love reading other people’s blogs, commenting on them, and having bloggy friends. In fact, I read all of my reader’s blogs (that I know about. Sorry, blog lurkers, I can’t read yours if you don’t come clean and ‘fess up to reading mine).
I love knowing bloggers from all over the world, and I love knowing bloggers in my own state. Obviously, I love networking sites, hence my involvement at 5 Minutes for Parenting.
However, there’s no good networking site for Alabama Bloggers. I’ve looked and I’ve looked, and it really just doesn’t exist.
So, after much thought and fear that I wouldn’t have enough time to manage it, I’ve decided to start it!
So, I introduce to you, Alabama Bloggers.
I’m going to really start advertising and announcing it tomorrow afternoon, but I wanted MY readers to have the first chance to sign up, give me feedback, offer suggestions, et cetera!
So please, whether you’re in Alabama or not, go over and check it out. And if you ARE in Alabama, by all means, Linky up and introduce yourself in the comments!!
I’m so excited to have a way to network all of my Alabama blog friends together, and meet all kinds of new friends!
Of course, it’s going to take a while to get it off the ground, so I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
Please also give me feedback on this post. Do you like the idea of getting to meet other Alabama bloggers? How can I make it better? Would you like to help me?? (I’m sure I will need a lot of it!!)
Also, PLEASE help me with the initial launch of this – start twittering, blogging, talking it up, etc ASAP! Get the word out to your Alabama blogger friends!!!!
Thanks!
Awesome idea Rachel! I’m excited! :)
I’m headed over there right now.
I’m new to your blog, but got the update this morning! Congrats and Best wishes on a successful launch!
Hugs!

I just dropped by the new site. This is such a great idea!
I have tagged your blog with the honest scrap award. Come by my blog and get your award (copy the picture) tell 10 HONEST things about yourself and tag 7 other blogs to get the award.

Yay, Rachel!! So excited!! Roll Tide!!!
So, completely unrelated, great job on the blog design for D! Meant to tweet back at ya, but since I don’t check twitter throughout the day, it’s hard to @reply in a timely fashion :) Anyways, glad to share my bloggy friends with the fam!
I have been wanting to do something like this for South Carolina and maybe seeing you do it for Alabama will give me the push to start.
I clicked over there and you already have a lot of bloggers joining in. Congrats!
Thank you all so much for your encouragement and your help in getting the word out!! It is going to be fun, but a LOT of work. Any helpers??? :)
