Sounds like the kind of network I’d be interested in. Would be interested to see what you have planned and if it will be different from other blog networks.

Ashley, I would love to be a part of the network. I run a blogged called AisleOne which focuses on graphic design, typography, grid systems, minimalism and modernism.

Hi, just wondering how this project is coming along because I am still very interested.

Hey Ashley, I’d be interested in joining.

My site is about what it’s like starting out as a young professional musician and I am very passionate about this!!

I’m just starting out as a blogger and I post nearly every day.

My site is about as “fresh” as they come. I’m about to make the first “real” post in a few minutes.

I would definitely be interested in joining the network though. If anyone could use a boost…

I am interested. I have been blogging for a few years at http://ryanhealy.typepad.com. As of January 3, 2008, I have switched to http://www.ryanhealy.com, which is why you won’t see many posts there yet.

Hey there, I’d be interested, let me know what you think of my blog (such as it is.)

I’d also be interested in that kind of network. My blog is personal and – probably a big disadvantage – written in German.

I have a personal blog, but I’ve been reading Upstart for awhile now. I’d love to be a part of the network. (I made that sound like you’re a cell phone company. ^_-)

Jesse – Don’t worry, I’m only going to accept high quality blogs into the network. I’m not going to make up the numbers with filler blogs. I’d much rather grow the network slowly if high quality blogs are slow to apply. You’ll be in good company.

Josh – I’ve had a look at your blog and it seems high quality to me. With some more posts under your belt and an increase in post frequency I think you’ve got what it takes. And since you have a passion for your topic you are just the sort of blogger I’m looking for. As in my answer to Jesse, it is important to me to keep the quality of all the blogs high. You wouldn’t have to switch to wordpress unless you wanted to use one of the themes that I’m going to design for members. But, you’ve clearly got design skills so I doubt this is going to be of concern to you.

Bedfordbear – Do you have a blog I can see or are you about to start one?

interested in trying to get my blogging career of the blocks :)

Sure, I’d be interested. I’m also interested to see the quality of the final blogs you pick – I’d like to think I’ve got the ‘passionate’ part, but maybe not the quality.

Would I have to switch to WordPress though? ;)

I’m interested in being in a network. But I’d also like to know more about what type of blogs I would be associated with.

Cheers, Jesse
