This really is a blog that requires no introduction, but I had to give it a mention here in my plight to give coverage to great community blogs. Manchester really is a hub of active communities and city enthusiasts – it’s quite overwhelming. Not to mention the growing number of city bloggers landing book deals – they must be doing something right!

The Manchizzle blog focuses on the best of Manchester’s culture, arts, festivals, events and blogs. It would appear that Manchizzle really is a centre for all Manchester blogs. The blogging community really is so strong in this part of the country - I am not kidding, I haven’t seen so many blogs in one city outside of London before.

If you fancy an inside peek at Manchester’s best cultural bits then this is blog for you, or failing that if you are a blogger in Manchester and feeling a little unconnected this is definitely the place to make some local blogging friends as it’s filled with links to the city’s best blogs.
