It's probably for the best that we have a sticky thread so that we know who is who, and put a name to sites and so on.
I might as well kick this off myself, so that there is something on here for when (or if) anyone else registers on here: I'm Ian, I live in Brighton (though was born in London and lived in Hertfordshire until 2003) and I started 200% in 2006. The other guys from 200%, Mark, Rob, Gavin and Dotmund might be floating around here too from time to time. I daresay that I will let on too much about myself on here over the next few days/weeks/months/years.

This is an excellent idea, Ian. Many thanks for starting this. I'm John Beech, an academic at Coventry University, with a personal blog at footballmanagement.wordpress.com/ I was brought up on the outskirts of Pompey and have moved around a fair bit since leaving uni in 1970, including a fair spell in Perth (as in St Johnstone).

Go on then, I'll try not to make this sound like the announcement at the beginning of an AA meeting. My name's Alan Smithy, and I'm a football blogger of no fixed abode. My site is The Football Hobo, and I'm fairly new to this game seeing as I only started my site in December, so doubtless I'll be leaching ideas and information off all the wise heads who will find their way on to here.

Hi Guys, My name is Sander and you might know me from 11tegen11.wordpress.com, which is my tactics blog on Dutch football... Great idea Ian, thanks for setting this forum up. It should be nice to have a place for football bloggers to meet, at least a virtual one... twitter: 11tegen11

Hello everyone. I'm Andrew, I run gibfootballshow.co.uk, and of course the host of award nominated gibfootballshow podcast (I'm not that vain really). Born in Glasgow, Scotland, moved to Leeds when I was 24, met my fiance at Uni, and been stuck in Leeds ever since. Don't support them though, quite enjoy their misery. Part-Time writer for STV Sport and any other website I can pimp myself out to. Good to see people hear, hope it's a success Ian.

Hi, I'm Big Red M and I write on and own rambleunited.com. Born and raised in central Manchester until a few years ago when my family moved to Spain, I care for one team and one team only, my beloved United. I'm an Anderson, Tom Cleverley and Chicharito fan boy and not afraid to admit it. Been blogging on this specific site for almost 6 months now and I'm fairly pleased with how we've progressed.

I'm a Cardiff City supporter who lives in Bracknell and I write this blog: mirkobolesan.wordpress.com/I think this site will be handy. 140 characters (on twitter) isn't quite enough sometimes.

Morning all, I'm James, and I've been "running' Unprofessional Foul for over three years now. Still a bit of a mish-mash, but it's all in good fun. www.unprofessionalfoul.comBorn/raised in England, lived in Liverpool for nearly 20 years before upping stakes and moving to New York City where I've been working in publishing ever since. I've worked for ESPN, researched a couple of footy books, and have had a piece wedged into Time magazine. Still, I love being relatively off-the-grid on the internet and following the whims of footy, making sense of them as I go. Nice to meet you all, and here's hoping this forum works for us all nicely.

Hello. I'm Duncan Fletcher (not the cricket guy), and my blog is www.cruelgeography.com and a quick glance there would tell you that I'm not the man to be helping anyone out with any technical/design issues, as I haven't really moved past the most basic blogger template. I'm a Darlington fan who moved to Canada and now supports Toronto FC in MLS. My blogs only been going 4 months or so, I was originally going for something fairly general, focussing on the whole "long suffering small team fan" experience, but is developing into more of a specifically toronto fc/Canada blog. This forum's an interesting idea, hope it takes off. www.cruelgeography.comwww.twitter.com/cruelgeography

Hi everyone. My name is Jonathan Hunter and I currently live in sunny Cornwall, but am originally from Surrey. I am the creator of and sole contributor to www.theyallcount.com - a labour of love that I am really really enjoying. I would also like to say that when registering for this the 'capcha' message was 'drink milk' - good advice!

Hello,
I'm Damon and I am 50% of therealfacup, whether I am therea or lfacup, I don't know. Only been doing the footy blog for a couple of years so by no means an expert, although I did do a music blog for a year or two before that and have contributed bits and bobs to several websites and fanzines over the years.
We primarily focus on the FA Cup but we do veer off into pretty much anything else, although it is usually non-league or the underdog where the focus lies.
I am an Ipswich fan but don't pity me, I declined season ticket renewal about 4 years ago and have only been to a handful of home games and London-based away games since. I am still not cured but now have it under control.
Damon.
