for what it's worth, my idiotprogrammer weblog (which has a literary focus) was older than all 4 litblogs listed as "the oldest litblogs"). Also, I think wood s lot is the oldest of them all (if you exclude Arts and Letters Daily).

This all points to the lunacy of trying to indicate examples of weblogs as wiki pages. Clearly there are dozens, if not hundreds (if not thousands) of notable litblogs out there. (If you remember, wiki policy forbids vanity pages--and the wiki police would probably consider a litblog entry as a backdoor way to have a wiki page). I think blogging and wiki are antithetical; it can only be resolved if wiki lightens up on its vanity/notability criteria; In the meantime, this page needs to have external links (not internal links for these webpages).
