Are you a Stoke-on-Trent blogger? Join my list

Last updated: August 27, 2009

Here is a list of the blogs - and Twitter accounts (I know the title should be Twitterers) - I've found which are linked in some way to Stoke-on-Trent, and the surrounding areas of North Staffordshire and South Cheshire. Just fill in the form below and I will try to get the link on here as quickly as possible.

Why am I doing it? Because I've found it's almost impossible to find out who is out there and it would be great to have a listing to refer back to.

Secondly, I'm nosy and would like to know what's going on..

Thirdly, I think everyone else locally would like to know who's out there. (Of course, if there is already a list, just let me know, and then I'll not waste your time further).

Why should you do it? So people can find out what you're doing.
