Okay, so I am looking for some decent Blogging Communities, and with communities I mean forums. Is there something to Blogging like what SitePoint is to Web Dev and WebHostingTalk is to Web Hosting?

I tried looking around for a bit, but I didn't really find anything that appealed to me.

There are a number of forums about blogging out there. Most are pretty small, though. A couple of the larger ones:

http://www.bloggerforum.com/modules/newbb/
and
http://www.bloggertalk.com/ (owned by an SPF member)

Thanks. I found both of them yesterday when searching Google. I guess that confirms my suspicions about there not being a really big one out there. Maybe I'll give BloggerTalk a try, especially since I can't despise the software they used on BloggerForum. Yuk.

Actually, I need to get this laptop off my lap for a few minutes first at least, before my thies drown in sweat! Stupid computer getting hot and all that!

BloggerTalk is probably good, though I've never participated there. I know the owner (and you might too), and he's a great guy

(at least,I think he still owns it).

Maybe, maybe not. I don't really "know" a lot of people here on SP, probably because I tend to get inactive for long periods of time! But I've certainly seen a lot of people around - What's his name here on SP?

He's an Advisor. Petertdavis... I'm assuming he still runs the site since his link is still up in the sidebar.

Maybe there's a blogger forum for your country?

I'm a member of my country's blogger forum - malaysiabloggers.com

There might be, but I'd rather spend my time in an international community, seeing how I refuse to ever write something in Norwegian. Reminds me too much of those days of torture back in grade 8 through 10!

Well I quicky got bored with BloggerTalk, because there's hardly any activity among the members there (a lot of guests browsing at all times though, it seems).

What a rip! I want my money back!
