Several of the links are incorrect, example: http://www.mormon-blogs.com/%3Cp%3Ehttp://www.theborens.com/craiger/%3C/p%3E should be http://www.theborens.com/craiger/ and it would be nice if you fixed them, thanks.

Thanks for everyone’s comments and sugestions. There will have to be a catch-all category for blogs that don’t have a narrow scope.

J., LDS and Mormon are of course redundant but not to those who are not in the know. Plus, I use the term “LDS Blogs” to describe blogs that deal with church issues, while “Mormon bloggers” can be bloggers who just happen to be LDS but you might never know it from their posts.
Thanks again for the feedback.

Currently, I think MoBoy would do best under “Culture”, and Sohoman would do best under “Business”

Another suggestion for subcategories where none are allowed, is that they might be expressed in the name. For example: To create subcultures under “Culture”, merely name the main category “Culture-Music” and “Culture-Current Events”, etc…

There are many topics I blog about, but one particular one that I tend to soapbox on more often than not.

So, would I put myself in more than one category? Possibly, but I would tend toward one in music most likely.

I don’t see any reason why a blog can’t be more than one thing. Until such time as my ambition, my will power, and my self-discipline get into one room together and sort things out, Eleventh in Line will continue to be the spot I talk about myself, my life, Star Wars, politics, the church, etc. I mean, I post book reviews as often as I whine about my job — which happens about as frequently as I mull over something for my CTR7 class. And every eighth post is pretty much a message to one of my parents or friends, disguised as writing fit for the general public.

This results in a blog that is hard to categorize. Unless you have an “insane YSA girls with callings in Primary” category, which I think I fit into clearly.

…although isn’t LDS and Mormon blogs redundant?

Way cool Dave! Yours was my first bloggernacle bookmark. And now you’ve come up with this great listing!

List my blog under the title: Culiblogs

You could also have bloggernaccers for religion only.

Then Poliblogs: for politicers

Craftiblogs – crafters

Mommyblogs – obvious

busibloggers – business related

It would however, be difficult to categorize people in different categories. Let the blogger decide and leave it at that. This could turn into full time employment for you if not!

Great idea!

Wow, that was a very nice comment to make about the now defunct Wump Blog. Thanks!

I too was surprised that it’s only been a year since we started using the term “Bloggernacle” to describe the Mormon blogosphere. Adopting a common name for the community is a significant event so I hope it can be remembered.
