The Australian Women Bloggers Directory is a valuable resource and I would highly recommend that all women bloggers in Australia add your blog to this list.
Now I know that some people are uncomfortable with a list that also ranks a blog but I would urge you to put your misgivings as well as your ego aside and submit your blog to the list.
I would recommend that you look past the numbers aspect of the Australian Women Bloggers Directory and embrace the list as the valuable tool that it is.
When I first started blogging there were not that many female bloggers in Australia and they were very hard to find. When I googled blogs or female bloggers all I found were American bloggers and they were mostly mommy bloggers to boot. I wasn’t interested in mummy blogs at all as I had done my time at the coal face. I was no longer drowning under the weight of snot and nappies, my days of being plagued by the eternal questions regarding loss of identity and motherhood were far behind me and most importantly of all I had finally caught up on all my sleep.
Quite by accident in 2007 I stumbled upon this list of the Top Australian blogs.
This list gave me access to a whole plethora of blogs and by looking at these bloggers, blogrolls I could then click on blogs that had interesting looking names. Also by reading the comment section of some of these Australian blogs I could follow interesting commenters back to their blogs and so build blog friendships.
The rest as you know is now history, we are rocketing along towards the close of 2011 and the Australian blogosphere has exploded, with new blogs popping up every day.
The Australian Women Bloggers Directory offers a list of blogs by category, so that anyone can find blogs that are suited to your own interests.
So what are you waiting for my lovelies? Go and add your blog if you haven’t already and then have a click through the categories and check out some of the talented women writing online .
Also if you click over to my blog roll and your blog is not listed there please leave me a comment and I will add you.

I thought you already were there Trace. *doh* I am so absentminded. I will add you straight away 🙂
So true Kim. It’s a great resource to find other Aussie blogs. It’s nice to see the community and talent here.
I noticed you aren’t on my blogroll either Rusty. *double doh*
Can’t wait to hear from them to see where I rank in the Food area. And will be signing up my other blog after the 3 month mark – only a couple of weeks to go!
You’ve alphabetised your blogroll!!
My mind did a little happy dance.
I added my blog to the directory (there’s over 600 blogs there! wow!) as I see it as a good way to find other blogs although I haven’t yet had time to click on any, also as a way for others to find me.
Incidentally, did you know you are back within the top 100?
Very excited to find the Women Bloggers…. Please add me to your blogroll…!
Thanks for sharing this, Kim. I didn’t know it existed.
Clicked on first link (although have looked before) have you seen where your daughter is on this – well I know I would prefer her to be at No1 but oh my word. Now I have to go back and trawl through more bloody lists! Although I wish they had a health category, it helps with my hypochondria (wink). Why I do this all the way over here in the UK I will never know but I do, so I just do, don’t I.
