That's the challenge.
A search on Google for "blogs in Morden" returns about 970,000 results - more than any sane person would ever want to trawl through. Similarly, a search by the Morden area on LoadedWeb doesn't return anything (although at the time of writing this blog is pending review).
Twitter is proving equally difficult but for different reasons, e.g. the word Morden may actually mean something in other languages, there are other places in the world called Morden, some users prefer to refer to nearby areas such as Wimbledon. However, I feel some progress is slowly being made by consistently using the #Morden hashtag and by retweeting relevant local news. So hopefully over time @Mordonian could become a reasonably comprehensive and credible repository for all things Morden.
Meanwhile if anyone else blogs about Morden I'd love to hear from you. It would be interesting to see if it is possible to build a strong online community for the Morden area.

Do You Love Morden?
Those of you who actively use Twitter may have come across, what appears to be a bit of a North London cult phenomenon, Love Camden (or @LoveCamden).
Love Camden is aimed at promoting activities and initiatives in the areas and thereby trying to forge or enhance a community spirit. A spin off from constant references, tweets and re-tweet from Twitter users who love their community Camden comes across as an area with a bit a buzz about the place, somewhere cool, a happening place, somewhere people really want to live and spend time ... and so on.
Wouldn't it be great to see similarly positive messages about Morden?
As someone who lives in Morden I do believe Morden has lots of things to be proud of; great cultural diversity, new housing springing up bringing fresh blood to the area, and generally being a safe place to live and work, plenty of green public spaces etc. So let's spread the word!
If you are a Twitter user the account Mordonian and hashtag #morden is aimed at becoming a resource for local news, updates and events.
