Guide To Political Blogging
Each year Total Politics publishes the Guide to Political Blogging in the UK, a book which includes a list of every political blog in the UK, lists of the best blogs in each blogging category (called Top Lists) and analysis of the British political blogosphere written by experts in political blogging. The Guide was originally published independently by Iain Dale, but was taken over by Total Politics when it launched in 2008. For the last two years the book has been sponsored by APCO Worldwide. The Top Lists categories (as of the 2009/2010 blogging guide) are:
- Top 300 UK Political Blogs
- Top 100 Left of Centre Blogs
- Top 100 Right of Centre Blogs
- Top 75 LibDem Blogs
- Top 20 Libertarian Blogs
- Top 30 Green Blogs
- Top 60 Welsh Blogs
- Top 50 Scottish Blogs
- Top 20 Northern Irish Blogs
- Top 30 MP Blogs
- Top 40 Councillor Blogs
- Top 50 Non-Aligned Blogs
- Top 30 Media Blogs
The winners in each category are determined by public vote through an email poll. As well as being recognised in the Guide, winners are also provided with digital awards badges to put on their blogs.
