Blogs about Migraines and headaches have been multiplying like bunnies recently. Have you noticed?

If you do a search for Migraine or headache blogs, the results are overwhelming. What's more, you can waste a lot of time going to blogs that are nothing more than advertisements. Don't you hate that?

I love reading good blogs. I learn from them, and they make me feel less alone and isolated with my Migraines and headaches. They remind me that I'm part of a huge online community. There's solace in that.

This week, I started a new web site, the Headache Disorders Blog Network. The purposed of the site is to compile a directory of good blogs on Migraine and other headache disorders - blogs by patients, advocates, health care professionals, and nonprofit organizations. To be listed, blogs need to:

• be accurate in any information posted on them.
• be updated fairly regularly.
• contain information related to one or more headache disorders.
• be free of commercial bias.

Blogs will not be listed if:

• the information is incorrect or outdated.
• content has been plagiarized.
• the content comes from "free article" sites.
• the sole or primary purpose is to promote goods or services.
• they contain claims of a "cure."

Since Twitter is considered to be "micro-blogging," there will also be a section for listing Twitter ID's of those Tweeting about headache disorders.

The Headache Disorder Blog Networ will be an ongoing project with blogs being added on a regular basis. Please bookmark it so you can refer to it often. If you have a blog that you'd like to submit for inclusion or know of one you'd like to suggest, please email your submission.
