environmentastic!’s eco-directory

Posted by A. Caleb Hartley on May 19th, 2008 filed in directory, eco

I’m starting to get pretty comfortable with this blogging thing, even though I’d still like to post more often than I have been. environmentastic! is beginning to be recognized in the blogging community, with no small thanks to Entrecard, and I’ve been receiving emails from blog directories asking if I’d like to list my blog (with reciprocal link backs, no doubt), I’ve been asked for link exchanges from green blogs, sites, and others (some not remotely coinciding with the topic of environmentastic), and I’ve even begun to be sent products to review… watch for a review of some products being sold at a large office supply chain very soon - and an interview with the product manufacturer’s CEO!

Having said that, I feel that my comfort zone has expanded. So what’s a good entrepreneurial-minded, blogger, website manager to do? START SOMETHING COMPLETELY NEW!

So that is exactly what I am doing. Having never really done anything like this before and having seen some small success at blogging, I’ve decided to add an “eco-directory” to environmentastic!. You can see its (very bare and sparse) beginnings at http://directory.environmentastic.com. The only category in it as of today is “News and Blogs” so it’s a good time to get your green blog submitted (I know at least two or three of my five readers host their own green blog)!

So, if any of you have any experience starting a directory, or even if you just have some ideas on categories that might belong in an eco-directory, please comment or suggest them on the eco-directory. So far, it seems to be very easy to use and update. One disclaimer - I am, right now, the only person managing the directory… this means I will be the only one approving or declining suggested URLs. So don’t expect a quick turnaround on approval - but I promise I will get to it!

Here’s to encouraging ecological goodness and Earthy-friendliness on the world wide web - and in the world of bricks and mortar as well!

Namaste,
A. Caleb Hartley

Don’t forget to leave a comment if you think of appropriate categories and/or subcategories for the eco-directory! I thank you in advance; I want this directory to become the number one place on the web to find green, natural, sustainable businesses and information.
