Blogging is gaining a toehold in Northwest Indiana — check out Northwest Indiana Blogs for the ever growing list of bloggers from the area.

Northwest Indiana has traditionally been a “blue” area and Gary, Indiana has been called the second most liberal area in the country.

For a relatively highly populated area, there aren’t a lot of progressive or liberal bloggers in the mix.  The only blog that stands out at this time is South Shore Progressive and it hasn’t been updated since early in December 2007.

I’m surprised there aren’t more liberal bloggers in Northwest Indiana.

It’s been a quiet December in Northwest Indiana’s blogosphere.  Many bloggers seem to have taken some time away for the keyboard to spend quality time with their family and friends.  Of course, there are some who are keeping their blogs current, so we are greatly appreciative of their efforts.

Here’s hoping that Northwest Indiana bloggers bring us some great posts for the little time remaining in the year and all throughout 2008.

Steve Dalton has done a great job rounding up many of the blogs that are up and running in Northwest Indiana over at Northwest Indiana Blogs.  Make sure to check out the Top 50 Northwest Indiana Bloggers.
