The Z-Listers
I saw a great idea over at Blog Till you Drop!. The Z-Listers, a list of under-appreciated blogs. Seth Godin suggests it is a bad choice of names, but I like it. Using C-list or D-List would have been inappropriate, but Z-List suggest you don’t accept the whole idea of the A-List blogs at all. Can you think of any that need to be on the list?
Here’s the Z-List with a couple of additions of my own mixed right in.

I came via a link from Purple Wren, who created a link collage. What I am loving about all these lists is that no two are alike – new discoveries everywhere, and new delights.

The Z-list is the embodiment of this quote.

I wondered if you noticed that. I thought I’d just sneak it in, and let you find it. It’s definitely worthy of inclusion.
