Dallas Blog, the promising new blog populated by former Dallas Morning News folks -- including the distinguished political writer Carolyn Barta and editorial cartoonist Bill DeOre -- has unveiled a list of Dallas blogs that it considers worth a visit. They are:

-- dallascrime.com blog, a watchdog blog about city crime

-- FrontBurner, D Magazine's "all-day conversation" about Dallas

--Dynamist Blog, featuring author Virginia Postrel's punditry

-- Blog Maverick, Mark Cuban's rabble-rousing riff-fest on business and (occasionally) sports

-- DallasArena.com, by Sharon Boyd, "either the city's most irritating gadfly or Public Citizen #1"

-- Dallas Morning Views, the blog of the paper's editorial page

-- Media Orchard, by the Idea Grove

-- Dallas Fort Worth Urban, technically not a blog but an interesting discussion board

-- Dallas.org, a blog on Dallas politics and culture by Allen Gwinn

-- Texas Venture Capital Blog, by Dallas VC Alexander Muse, who is focused on Web 2.0 investments

-- Monday Morning CEO, by Cowboys legend and Dallas business leader Roger Staubach

-- Ultimate Dallas, which (believe it or not) is all about the old Dallas TV show and upcoming movie. This site is actually not a blog, but it's still fun. If you want to know whether Jessica Simpson and Brad Pitt will star in the flick, this is the place to go.

Yes, I'm on Dallas Blog's list. Does that make me self-serving? Yes.
