Bangalore Bloggers on X: build this knot
Bengaluru's writers and creators post about food, tech, traffic, lakes, weekend trips and the city's endless debate about its weather. The two spellings, Bengaluru and Bangalore, are both in daily use, so a good knot searches both.
The recipe combines the city tags with blogging phrases, which keeps the feed tilted toward people writing about the city rather than general news. Add your favourite local writers as members for a feed of just their posts.

Open in the builder and add members
Who to add as members
Food and travel bloggers, local photographers, civic writers and newsletter authors based in the city. We don't list anyone by name: pick the people you already read, so the knot reflects your corner of the topic.
Once you add members, the builder makes three more feeds: everything they post, their posts on this topic, and replies sent to them.
Tips for this knot
- Use the Links filter to catch new posts on blogs and newsletters.
- Add neighbourhood names as keywords for hyper-local feeds.
- Startup news fits better in the Indian Startups knot. Keep this one about the city.
Setting up the X List
- Open Lists from your profile menu and create a list called Bengaluru Bloggers.
- Keep it public if you want others to follow it, or make it private for your own reading.
- Add members from the list editor or from each profile's menu.
- Pin it so it shows up as a tab on Home.
