It is very handy isn't it? But you've just alerted me to the Yahoo group, so I'd best head off and check it out. Found out abour Planet of the Blogs a few days ago. It is very handy isn’t it?

Also we never required people to include the tag - although it was a way of people letting us know they existed without requiring their email address. Now we explicitly give both choices. If we find an Irish blog ourselves we list it (whether or not it has an image button). Our tongue-in-cheek FAQ was written at a time when there was commentary about doing aggregators along the lines "how do you know if a blog is Irish or not" - and this was seen as a barrier to setting one up. We wanted to avoid that debate as a barrier to setting up an aggregator. In any case it seems the debate has moved on. Thanks for you comments. It has helped us to make our site more clear to our users. I understand you comments, however Irish Blogs was always meant to be inclusive of all Irish blogs.
