For a while now, I have been in search of local blogs, blogs about people and their lives. I was tired of seeing blogs that are active just for the purpose of making ad revenue and those who blog about how to make $$ online. Those are great, I read those when I want new tips for AdSense but sometimes I just want to read some old fashion blogs about New York. The one I currently read, Gothamist, is great but I wanted something more local and more personal.

Call me nosy but I want to know what people in my community is doing. NYCBloggers does the trick! NYCBloggers is a blog directory that focuses on quality blogs from New Yorkers in the five boroughs. The way they organize it is genius! They classify blogs by the bloggers’ subway stop! I live on Saratoga Ave on the 3 line and there are currently 2 other bloggers who are registered at that subway station. I’m about to be the 3rd once I’m approved!

I just think this is a innovative way to connect bloggers in NYC, I mean, lets face it, everyone in the city takes the subway and I’m sure they are interested in bloggers that live near them. NYCBloggers does a great job at connecting the local NYC blogosphere!

Yesterday I was on the 6 train at around 3 going to see a friend. All of a sudden, this guy walks in at the Brooklyn Bridge station and starts taking off his pants. I look at him weird, like what is this guy doing? I figured that he was a jogger and that he just finished his route. Note: Below is NOT the guy I saw.

Nope, Check out these sexy legs! I was wrong, it was the annual No Pants Subway Ride Day. Check out the pictures here! I’m defiantly participating next year!

Yep, this month marks my first year of blogging! I’m proud of what I have produced here, raised some good money with ads and allowed me to share my knowledge to the public.

However, I believe I did not do enough in terms of consistency and quality of the content. Hopefully 2008 will give me time to do this but it is defiantly going to be hard. I’m juggling a few things, school, work and my personal life.

I’m just glad that I can contribute to the growing blogosphere!
