Belshaw blog roll

I have begun the process of posting the blogs that I follow to this page. This will take me several weeks.

The following lists blogs in alpabetical order  with a brief comment. Special interest lists come afterwards. There is some duplication between this list and some of the special interest blog pages, although I have tried to minimise this.
  • A la mode frangourou. Food & writer's blog with a strong French focus. Australia's Northern or New England  Tablelands. Sophie Masson is a well known Australian writer.
  • Barbara Martin is a Canadian blog covering book reviews and aspects of Canadian life and history with a sometimes special focus on Canada's national parks. Strong visual focus.
  • Abigail Nathan's Bothersome Words is a good practical blog for those who write, although I find her present format hard to read.
  • Catallaxy Files is an Australian group blog that bills itself  as Australia's leading libertarian and centre-right blog.
  • Mark's Clarence Valley Today is a very good photo blog from the Clarence Valley on Australia's east coast. 
  • Club Troppo describes itself  as politics, economics, law and life from a 'radical centrist' perspective. Multi-author blog with an Australian focus. 
  • Darcy Moore's Blog is an Australian teacher's blog with a special focus on new technology.
  • Thomas's Deus Lo Volt is an Australian blog that deals with teaching, life, US politics and whatever takes Thomas's fancy.  
  • Winton Bates' Freedom and Flourishing discusses concepts of happiness and  freedom from an economist and philospher's perspective with digressions into public policy and other matters taking Winton's fancy.     
  • Martin Lewis's Geocurrents uses maps to interpret current events from a geographic and historical perspective.
  • Sarah Mitchell's Global Copywriting provides some fascinating and well written insights into social media
  • lookAND see. Photo blog. Austalia's Northern Tablelands. A long time favourite.
  • Love Ely & Alex is a personal Indonesian blog from Tikno looking at aspects of life in Indonesia. Sometimes irregular postings.  
  • My Unwelcome Stranger. Writing, musings and dealing with a brain tumour (not negative). Northern Tablelands. One of my regular reads. 
  • Neil's Final Decade is the latest in a long line of blogs by Neil Whitfield (Ninglun). Life, literature, politics etc. The blog contains links to earlier blogs by Neil. A long standing favourite. 
  • Neil's Google Reader provides a daily mix of articles and blog posts that have caught Neil Whitfield's interest. 
  • Ramana's Musings continues as my favourite Indian blog with its mixture of humour and life.
  • Skepticslawyer  is a group blog with a focus on law, life, education, policy and sometimes politics in Australia and the UK depending on where the writer's interests take them at the time. Some very good pieces.
  • Sydney - City and Suburbs is a Sydney photo blog. 
  • Julie's Sydney Eye is a another Sydney photo blog. Includes links to a variety of other photo blogs from different places.    
The following pages contain/will contain blog lists linked to my special interests. Please note that with several hundred blogs in all, just recording them is a major task:
  •  History blog list is as the name says
  •  New England Australia blogs covers blogs about or written by people with connections to Australia's New England
  • Regional Living blog list covers blogs connected with those living in or interested in life in Australia outside Australia's metro centres
  • Managing the Professional Services firm  Blog List will cover my purely professional interests including media, internet, management, training, economics and the professions with a special but not exclusive focus on professional services management.
