Edenland“Blogging is extraordinary. Some see it as a business, an outlet, a diary, or a piece of art. The beauty is, it can be whatever you want it to be. Blogging has changed for me, over the past five years. My blog has actually helped shape my identity.”

    Hi Trevor,

    I stumbled upon bloghub.com.au this morning whilst researching Australian bloggers and found your directory quite useful. Congrats on putting this website up!

    I was wondering if there was any way for me to track the bloggers behind the blogs by location – ie Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane in your directory? Also, most of them seem to be Melb-based – please confirm this.

    Any information or leads you could provide regarding the above would be appreciated.

    Thanks and more power to you!
    Emilio

      Hi Emilio,

      Unfortunately I haven’t got an easy way to track each blog in terms of location; unfortunately not all bloggers divulge a location although you can sometimes work it out from their content.

      In terms of Melbourne Vs Sydney, it’s not Melbourne by design as many of the entrants have come from people voluntarily submitting them; at a guess, I’d say there are probably more foodie bloggers in Melbourne and more Parenting/Mummy bloggers in Sydney, but that’s only anecdotal.

      Cheers,
      Trevor
