Recent submissions to Tampa Blogs include Random Speak in St. Pete, The Day Shift from Tampa, Vitamin Sea from 'round here somewhere, Tampa's own Tampa Film Fan, The Nettled Musician left a comment here, and Out in Left Field written from the Tampa suburbs.

I also learned of Planet USF, an aggregation of all USF student blogs hosted by Blogs at USF.

All of these will be added to the sidebar blogrolls just as soon as bloglinker quits screwing up.

New blog signups!

2005-05-20T08:39:00.000-04:00

Please give a warm welcome to our newest members:

The Practice Pony is a very new blog, and was added to the Tampa Bay list.
Jaymi's Cheap Thrills Jaymi signed up a couple days ago, but hasn't written a blog post since March. I added this to the Tampa list, in the hopes she starts blogging soon.
A Living Hominid I'm pretty sure this one hails from Seminole Heights, and is added to "Tampa."

If you have a blog in the Tampa area, leave a comment or sign up with bloglinker. If you sign up, it may take a few days to get listed since all entries are manually approved before being added.

TampaBlogs gets some pub!

2005-05-15T16:36:00.000-04:00

I just read this week's Weekly Planet, and found out that one of the guilty pleasures you should indulge in this summer is surfing the 'net for local blogs (about 1/4 the way down). Even better, the writer recommended tommy's own TampaBlogs as your starting point!

Planet staffer Joe Bardi also made note of the Tampa Bay DotMoms, Dis Iz Erica, McG's, Bayciti, and The Legend of Mark Michaels. Joe has his own blog as well. For more local info, you may want to check with Sticks of Fire, too.

If surfing local blogs is a somewhat guilty pleasure, I wonder where they would rank bloggers making updates on a Sunday afternoon...

Hey Joe!! Thanks for the pub!!

Also, here's an additional mention for Sharp as a Marble. Seems Robb was unhappy with the description given him in January. He would have preferred something about beer or cats. The thing is, when you sign up with bloglinker, you have the opportunity to add your own description. Robb chose to leave it blank, so I made one up. I hereby take back everything I ever said about SaaM, and encourage Mr. Allen to sign up again, this time using his own description.

Also, if you know of any local blogs not listed on the sidebars here, click any of the add your site to this list link. Bloglinker will alert me to additions, and yours will be added soon...

Blunted is back! Drunk driver decapitates friend, then drives home to sleep it off.

Side Salad Jeff shows off his writing prowess: Go see what he is writing about when he says “pre-TrimSpa Anna Nicole Smith loaded up on Percodan and Jack Daniels and waving a gun while shopping for crystal”

FlaBlog has changed his address and the look.

Bayciti has added more stuff, including pages devoted to Pinellas urban history and Pinellas roads. Dude likes his history, and I find it just fascinating…

Speaking of Bayciti, here’s something he may be interested in for the Tampa city streets page: SoHo finds out that Morgan St. was named after a drunk.

Unstoppable scooped the online world, but didn’t get credit.

Interstate 4 Jamming is irritated at the results of the Democratic 12th district Congressional primaries.

Jen cleans out the crevices around her hatchback.

Don’t forget, the Tampa Bay Blogger Fest scheduled for Splitsville on Sept. 18th!

Friday Tampa Bay Blog-About

2004-07-02T16:30:00.000-04:00

Inspired by Bark Bark Woof Woof and his normal Friday Blogaround:

BeerBlog laments the fact that many of his posts had nothing to do with beer. So he opened Hotwax Residue, which has nothing to do with wax.

Speaking of Hotwax Residue, he waxes on the Florida voting mess, and revelations that some amendment petitions were (SHOCKER!) signed by dead people.

Even if the dead people vote in the homestead amendment, FlaBlog says that the summary brief is deceptive.

Blogwood has tons of info on the Florida felons ineligible to vote issue, and also has a link to the actual list. Go check for your name.

Icontemplate shares a creepy episode, and provides an easy (FREE!) way to search for public information nationwide.

Florida Politics reports on Jeb!s own Halliburton right here in Florida. You'll have to scroll a while.

Goatbelt was once a rock star, and played with U2. Bono told him it was easy to write a song.

Perhaps he should get in touch with Luka. She wants a rock star to write a song for her.

SpaceCoastWeb questions Focus on the Family's decision to give Michael Moore’s home address to those on their email list.

Last Day of my Life talks about the fiasco too, and buries an excellent observation within: It's sad how willfully ignorant American are about what's going on in their country.

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the civil rights act of 1964, DebWire highlights some statistics from then, and compares them to today’s numbers.

Bl0gax tells us about Carmen Electra and the new Naked Women Wrestling League.

When it rains here in the afternoon, it causes airplanes to fly over the Crazy Island.

Poor Richard’s Anorak sees all the money going to stockholders, and asks a simple question: When do the workers get their share?

Mustang Bobby Barks about the failure of the Cuban Blockade.

South of Suwannee wonders if GDub’s Cuba policies will affect him in ways he hadn’t thought.

Side Salad points out that the RedSox are between a rock and a hard place. Specificall, the Devil Rays coming up from behind them, and the X-Rays beating them from New York.

Sticks of Fire tell's you where to eat if you find yourself in Brandon.

Critical ‘I’ leaves us today with a cliffhanger of a post. He was a juror in a murder trial, and doesn’t have time to elaborate. Tune in tomorrow.

More bloglinker info

2004-06-14T17:54:00.000-04:00

Apparently, when you sign up at bloglinker.com, they make you create your own list. I understand that not everybody wants to do this, although you don't have to put your bloglinker list on your webpage. I am looking for a better (easier, less intrusive) way to do this, but in the meantime, this is what it is.

Also, some of you have signed up, and then cannot see your weblog link on the list. I didn't want to try and control this list, but it seems that you (a new linker) cannot determine your own category. I have to do it. So, I get an email each time one of you sign up. If you are signed up three times (because you didn't see your site listed), I'll get three emails. When you sign up, please just do it once, and then check back in about 3 days - If you are still not listed, please shoot off an email to me.

can you hear me now?

2004-06-01T17:33:00.000-04:00

Ok.. well, since I have not yet set up commenting, and I did not give an e-m-a-i-l ad-dress, I suppose you couldn't contact me. I'll fix that right now: Please reach me here temporarily (no spaces, underlines,exclamation points, dashes, or asterisks in the actual): t_o_m_m_y_d_u_n_c_n [!a!t!] y-a-h-o-o [d0t] c*o*m How's that for paranoia?

Attempt to list all Tampa bloggers continues...

2004-05-27T17:24:00.000-04:00

Ok... I went to bloglinker.com and started the list you see on the left. Please, please, please, if you are a Florida Blogger, and you do not see your site listed, click here to add your blog and a description if you like. I know, I know - it will say don't add your blog name, but it's my list, so they are trying to tell me, not you. Anyway... Go ahead add yours please...For the Category, I've been using Tampa, Pinellas, Tampa Bay, or the region of Florida (Central, North, etc.). If you blog about the entire state of Florida (Florida Politics, South of the Suwannee), simply use "Florida" as your category. If you have any questions, leave a comment, or send an email...

And so it begins

2004-05-07T12:34:00.000-04:00

This just might be a feeble attempt to list all Tampa-area blogs
