I saw a post (unfortunately, it was a while ago, and I forgot to flag it) about BlogMap, a service that puts your blog on the map. Here's mine:

So far, I'm the only Spring Lake, MI blogger.

Obviously, the first thing you'll want to do is search for blogs in your area. No one in my area, but near where I work is Eric Maino, a Microsoft C# MVP, and proud owner of a LINUX license plate.

I guess this kind of thing would be more common if I lived in Seattle!

Anyway, get your blog on the map!
