About the Blog Directory

The blog directory is a service for washingtonpost.com readers to connect with the local blogosphere, and for local bloggers to get more visibility and readers.

This directory is for blogs produced in the greater Washington metropolitan area that are in some fashion about life in our region. We ask that you not sign up if you happen to live here but blog primarily about non-local topics.

Since this directory will pull in recent posts from bloggers who sign up with us, we also ask that you not register if your blog routinely traffics in offensive or pornographic language, personal attacks, racial epithets or other content not suitable for a mass-media web site that is read by people of all ages.

Washingtonpost.com editors will pre-approve all applications for this directory, and may contact you for verification. Your registration information must be accurate and enable us to contact you.

If we see a steady stream of inappropriate content, we reserve the right to de-list you.

Thanks for observing these principles, and we look forward to your participation and feedback. Please contact us at blog-directory@wpni.com.
