The I List

I A year or so ago, there was the Z list. Next, the W list.  Then, came the O list.  Now, I think it is high time that we share with the world the power of blogging in Iowa.

Meet the I list.

If you’re an Iowa blogger, grab this list….add any Iowa blogs that might be missing and then post it on your blog.  Let’s see how many we can get.  If you’re not an Iowa blogger — grab the list and challenge your state’s bloggers to match or beat it!

Either way — what a great way to launch the new year — some link love and even more important — some long overdue props to the state that is not only setting the political course with our caucuses, but also charts the waters for bloggers everywhere.

  1. Drew-WOW-what a list! Way to set the bar high. I am so proud to be among these amazing Midwest voices! Thanks for sharing-this is a fantastic way to start the new year!

  2. Art Dinkin says:

    Not only am I thrilled to be on the list, but there are some great sounding blogs I have never visited before. You can bet that is soon to be fixed. Great idea Drew.

  3. The I-List! I love it! I’m honored to be a part of such an amazing list of Iowa blogs. Thank you Drew (and Mike)!

    Very nice Drew! Each time I think I’ll add someone I look back to the list and they’re already there!

  5. Great way to start off the year! And I’ve been meaning to add an Iowa blogroll to my site.

    Thanks, Drew. Happy New Year!

  6. Great list, and thanks for including me! Wishing a great 2008 for all Iowa bloggers.

  7. Thanks Jodi — I passed the URL onto the rest of the Iowa bloggers!

    Hey Drew. You have my Iowa Geek blog listed but I have two others- http://www.havekidwilltravel.com & http://www.fabfoodfriday.com

    Also- I’m holding a rather impromptu Iowa blog conference. You probably know much more about doing something like this than I do! Any advice or tips? You can find more info at the link below:

    What a great list of local blogs!

    I’m an Iowa business owner and have two blogs to share:
    http://www.disctests.blogspot.com/ & http://sixthinkinghats.blogspot.com/

  10. Barb,

    I’ll pass your blogs onto the creator of the I list!

    Hey, Drew! Was just at the I_Blog Conference, and your list was mentioned by @debworks! I’d love it if you could add my blog the next time you update. I live in Ankeny and have been blogging about a year and a half.

    Thanks!

  12. Hi Drew! I was also at the I_Blog conference this weekend, and your name was brought up several times as the person who has “the list” of Iowa bloggers. I’d love it if you would add my blog to your list:

    http://sincerelyjenni.blogspot.com

    Sincerely, Jenni

    THANKS!

  13. Blogging, yes…yes indeed. I’ve seen one of those around these parts before. 🙂
