Domainersphere - List of Domaining Blogs
There has been a real explosion of blogs in the domainersphere over the last year. I don't recall there being any blogs solely devoted to domaining a year ago, and now it seems that at least once a week I'm discovering a new domainer blog.
To keep up with all of this, I've decided to create a list of all the domaining blogs that I'm aware of that are regularly updated (there are some great blogs out there that unfortunately, seem pretty much abandoned). I'm going to keep this list current, so if you know of any domaining blogs that I've missed that are regularly updated, please drop a note in the comments.

December 16th, 2007 at 11:23 am @ subscription - Some of these blogs are UK blogs - Ray's domaining.org.uk comes to mind. Domainblog.co.uk has a UK focus.
December 16th, 2007 at 11:29 am @Enrico - Thanks -I've added your blogs. You're right - even many experienced domainers aren't on top of the legal aspects of domaining.
December 16th, 2007 at 11:40 am I'm in England also, thanks for the list. Does a domainer thend to be a good affiliate or do you think its better to be one or another? Thanks Lee
December 16th, 2007 at 11:55 am @ cabbage soup diets - I think domaining and affiliate marketing tend to use different skillsets. Howver, I think in the next year or two, many domainers are going to be looking more closely at affiliate programs to develop and monetize their websites.
