Most complete list of geoblogs to date
Lutz at Geoberg.de has compiled an impressive list of known geoblogs... 97 of them!
My hat's off to Lutz for this tremendous effort! And doubly so for taking the time to translate it into English! I nominate him as the keeper of the official list of the geoblogosphere... Do I have a second on that motion?

Great list!
You left out one heading, and consequently I and a few others are listed under Palaeontology! (The blogs from Geocosas to Rocks and Minerals are under something else.)
Also, you can leave comments on his blog about this list, if you have some changes to make at this link (the German version).
How'd I make it into petrology?! I guess it's time for more earthquake posts...
Thanks Silver Fox -- I added a bold heading to the Mining bit.
I did make two changes to Lutz's list: Changed the spelling of vulcanology, and switched Sismoridia's focus from Arctic to Antarctic. I'll e-mail Lutz to let him know... (I was confused at the lack of commenting ability on the English-language version).
Maria,
Lutz did the organizing, not me... And in some ways a matrix or database would make more sense than just a list with subheadings. Or maybe the polymaths should appear under multiple subheadings?
C
RealClimate and its peers ought to be included, because climate change is well within the bounds of geology. My own blog list is worth consulting for candidates to add to one's own custom feed.
Oh, thank you for promoting the list ;-). It was too late last night and I assume this is the cause why there are some mistakes in the list. However, it is generally difficult to put some blogs into a single category... I'll change the mistakes today, and I'll make the list open for comments (unfortunately, I don't know yet why you and I can't comment the list...)
I have killed the mistakes ;-) and have added some new blogs about climate and evolution (thanks to andrew).
Now, you have the possibility to comment directly beneath the English blog list.
Excellent list. For future lists, I hope you'll consider the blog I set up at Geo Slice - it's the blog/website for the Arizona Section of AEG (Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists).

The list is fantastic... but... (there is always a "but"...) I miss many blogs in Spanish. Check, for example the blogrolls in:
