Metadata for weblogs-- blizg

Go ahead, try and pronounce it... Blizg - The Blog Resource.

It does offer a helpful service. If you register a weblog at Blizg, it has a web form you can use and it will build you the meta tags to out in the <HEAD>....</HEAD> section of your main blog template that provide information about your blog, location, country, language, description, copyright, etc..

I had the geographic location from geoURL but that was all. Now I have a few more.

One major limiting hitch with Blizg is their limit of one blog URL per domain, leaving out anyone who has a Radio hosted blog http://radio.weblogs.com/xxxxxxx They better get around to fixing that!

According to my Blizg profile, these blogs are "similar" to mine:

funtongue scatterplot
My Wishes Weblog
life from an l-shaped desk
Urban Scrawl
ADRIFT [i wanna be sedated]
Boogie Church - it's like a blog, only boogier
Scary!!!

Sites like this do provide an interesting window to some obscure blogs, e.g. the "geographically close" neghbors include:
spastic yak somebody's diary, what they ate for thanksgiving, shopping stories, obligatory cat photos....
A Simpler Way, Evo Terra. Herbalist, educator and aimless musician
Retards.org Nathan from Tucson appears to be a computer geek and into music, some it may not be all that legal. Check out his charm and duct-tape phone.
VeganPoker "a site dedicated to my ramblings about playing poker, living a vegan lifestyle, and whatever other random thoughts stumble out of my head."

There is a place in the world for everything!
