Portland blogs its way toward the top

Wordpress screenA recent Scarborough Research report puts Portland as the second-most bloggiest city, just behind Austin TX and just ahead of San Francisco and Seattle.

The survey estimates that one out of seven Portland-area residents has either read or contributed to web logs in the past 30 days. A quick visit to the definitive Oregon blog index,www.orblogs.com, shows over 1,400 registered blogs, with nearly 370 in Portland. All sorts of interests–foodies, political ‘analysts’, neighborhood gossips, and much more can be found–many laced with that fiercely independent Oregon ‘tude.

And not all blogs are written by hobbyists and navel-gazers. When re:PDX was launched in November 2005, only three other real estate-related blogs were active, and frankly, the Portland area severely lagged behind Seattle, San Francisco, Phoenix and other ‘wired’ towns in this content area.

Well, they’ve definitely bloomed this year. Here is a reasonably definitive list (as least for the Portland area), in no particular order:

Happy reading, real estate junkies. If I missed one (or many), please leave them in the comments field.

UPDATE: from reader comments, a few more Oregon real estate blogs:
