Last week, The Houston Press proved its brilliance by writing its cover story on Houston’s Top Bloggers. The piece was written by the talented Catherine Matusow, and it very smartly opened with everyone’s BFF, The Bloggess. I somehow sneaked in on Page 4. Here’s the full line up:
Jenny Lawson, The Bloggess
Charles Kuffner, Off the Kuff
Robert Boyd, The Great God Pan is Dead
Gus Allen, Swamplot
Stephanie Stradley, Texans Chick
David Cobb, Houston Calling
Mark Bennett, Defending People
Laura Mayes, Blog Con Queso
Albert Nurick, H-Town Chow Down
Nishta Mehra, Blue Jean Gourmet
Of course there are TONS more fantastic H-Town Blogs…Tons.
And here are 25 more…My own little Houston’s Top Bloggers Extended Dance Mix version. Big hits, in no particular order:

Awesome Houston blogs, right? I think so too.
Let me know if there are any other great H-Town blogs I should be reading.
Karen was the most noticeable omission. There are a number of great decor blogs based in Houston, like Cote’D Texas (Joanie lives in West U) and my friend T’s blog, http://www.morningt.blogspot.com. T is pretty rad and beautiful as well. I’d also include Layla Grace Marsh (her family), in terms of the sheer amount of people involved in her story and the fight against cancer. One day I will be on the list too!
Great list. As for recos, I’m partial to mine.
Awesome list. How am I so fortunate to know almost every single one of these super cool people? Oh yeah, cuz I live in Houston and it rocks.
I still remember that article about Matt – I was quoted in it, talking about him & WordPress. Ahhh… the good ol’ days! Hard to believe I’ve been blogging almost 10 years! Nice to be on the new list – thanks Houston Press!
Congrats, Laura! I feel honored to even be included on a list with you and some of the other brilliant folks named!
Thanks, pal! xoxoxo
Hey, thanks for the great list! My blog’s out there if you ever want to check it out! cattywampuslife.com
Is that David Cobb of Houston Calling my friend David Cobb from college?! Cool!
Of course, you are cool too. Everyone knows. But I didn’t know everyone knew Cobb was cool. Because he is.
Cote De Texas is such a huge influence in the design blog sphere – like Elz, I am surprised it wasn’t included.
I also really love Inside the Loop – I’ve missed it since she has moved abroad and become so busy.
Great list! Thanks!
Funny how some of my favourite blogs (heck, some of my favourite people in the world) all reside in Houston.
Y’all must have good water or something.
Love it that I have all these new blogs to check out now. I’m a
ustonblogger if you want to check out my blog. I think a houston blogger meetup would be awesomely fun!
Thanks for the list! I blog, I’m from Houston. Never thought of myself as a Houston blogger. May be time for a little rebranding. Found your blog through a tweet from Mr Lady.
Gee golly thanks for the mention. That’s a pretty prestigious list of bloggers. Now I’ve got a few more people I can physically stalk from the comfort of my minivan. =-)
Oh and where are my manners. Congrats on making the list. Well-deserved indeed.
I love you!!!! Thank you for the inclusion
Houston is missing you.
Thanks for including me in this Laura! U rock.
I would’ve included She Eats (http://sheeats.wordpress.com), for sure, but I’m guessing they couldn’t include her on their list for, um, obvious reasons.
