Paschal, France isn't too far away either, but I'm afraid this is staying UK-only - sorry!

Neil, thanks for your entry - thought there must be someone at CM who blogged. Added and subscribed!

I have been known to blog about .NET, though it seems to be more questions that answers ;)

My blog's not exclusively .NET, but it's going in that direction. Also, I think Adam Field (http://blogs.geekdojo.net/adam) is UK-based as well...

re: UK .NET Bloggers

Tim Sneath — Fri, 30 Jan 2004 18:38:00 GMT

Yup - added you both. Thanks!

Using the 'Power of Feedster' I worked out how to expose the OPML file hosted on your site and turn it into an RSS feed.

The RSS feed for UK .NET bloggers is: http://www.feedster.com/search.php?&q={DATE>=2004}&sort=date&ie=UTF-8&limit=30&inopml=http://www.sneath.org/tim/ukbloggers.opml&type=rss

Nice list.

re: UK .NET Bloggers

Tim Sneath — Wed, 03 Mar 2004 23:33:00 GMT

Just to let everybody know, this list has proved so popular that we're going to host a copy on the Microsoft UK website in the developer community area. If anyone has a violent objection to their blog being publicised in this way, drop me a private note and we'll take you off the lists.

re: UK .NET Bloggers

Spencer Harbar — Fri, 12 Mar 2004 19:46:00 GMT

you can add me

re: UK .NET Bloggers

Tim Sneath — Mon, 22 Mar 2004 17:37:00 GMT

This page has proved so popular that we've created a version of it on the Microsoft UK MSDN website. Hopefully this will result in improved traffic and interest in your blogs. We'll continue to keep both lists updated - add a comment here if you'd like your blog included and we'll take care of the rest.

"Official" version here:

Jon Fancey — Wed, 24 Mar 2004 21:13:00 GMT

Tim,

Was wondering if there's still time to add me to your list(s)? I've recently started blogging on .net after having my first MSDN magazine article published in April's issue.

regards,
Jon.

re: UK .NET Bloggers

Tim Sneath — Wed, 24 Mar 2004 21:53:00 GMT

Thanks Jon. Good article by the way - hope to see a follow-up or two on this subject on your blog. EIF is a particularly rich seam for further exploration, I'd have thought, along with some of the PAG guides in the area.

re: UK .NET Bloggers

Tim Sneath — Wed, 07 Apr 2004 21:03:00 GMT

A few more entries added over the last couple of weeks: pull down a new copy of the OPML file if you want to update your aggregator.

Matt Swift — Fri, 30 Apr 2004 04:54:00 GMT

Hi, thanks so much for including me. Great to see you all here, I'm a .Netter in the UK, massively interested in the future of development, and where we're all headed. Hope to speak to some of you soon ;)

I also blog on .net and c# topics, but it's not exclusively about them.

Richard Acton — Fri, 11 Jun 2004 21:27:00 GMT

Hi Tim,
I only started blogging yesterday, but my main topics will include the compact framework and Content Management Server. I don't have any violent objections to you including me :-)

Tim!

Met you briefly at the MS bash at the House of Blues (PCD03) - introduced by Sean McB. I'm off to TechEd Europe this year and I'll be blogging it. I'd love to be added to your UK .NET Bloggers list. RSS: http://joelblogs.co.uk/Portals/1/host_Blog_ID_1.xml

Particularly looking forward to the DAT track.

Thanks in advance,

re: UK .NET Bloggers

Tim Sneath — Thu, 17 Jun 2004 20:17:00 GMT

Thanks to all. I've now been through all the additional blogs that have been suggested to me either here or privately via email, and added those that seem appropriate. Up until now, I've not set out any formal criteria for inclusion in this list, but in order to keep it fairly vibrant and promote those who are actively blogging on regular topics, I thought I'd share the informal guidelines I've been using to determine inclusion:

- Must be based in Great Britain or Northern Ireland (i.e. it's your location rather than your nationality that I'm interested in)
- Must be blogging at least in part (say 40% or more) on topics related to Microsoft development or architecture
- Must have posted five or more entries thus far (trying to avoid filling the list with "flash in the pan" blogs)
- Must be actively maintaining the blog (i.e. if you've not posted for months, I'm going to presume your blog isn't active to all intents and purposes).

Hope those guidelines are OK - I'm trying very hard to use sensible discretion on this, and I don't want to start a flamewar on the subject of censorship or Microsoft heavy-handedness! If you'd like to choose or modify your byline on the list, then drop me a line, otherwise I'll try and capture the essence of your site in six words or fewer myself!

Does that seem reasonable to everyone?

Tim
