Finding New Blogs


I have a whole list of blogs that I check on a daily basis. A lot of them are my friends, some are people who I found their blog and ended up becoming friends with them, and others are blogs I have just found. A lot of these blogs are very informational and I really enjoy reading them. So are you looking to add a few new blogs to your RSS or bookmarks? How do you go about finding these blogs? When I feel I need to add a new blog to “the list” these are some of the things that I try to do to find new informational blogs.

Blogroll
Almost any blog that you go to will have some type of blogroll or friends list. These links are either friends of the blog that you are reading or might have exchanged links with the blogger. They may also be blogs that the blogger likes or are in the same blogging category, so if you like their blog there is a good possibility that you will like one of the blogs listed.

Technorati
This is a great source to find new blogs. You can check out the most popular blogs, most favorited blogs, or check out the days hottest blurbs.

Link Posts
A lot of bloggers choose 1 day of the week where they list the “happenings of the net” or a similar post. In this post they list 3-5 articles on other blogs that they have read that interest them. Michael Kwan does “What’s Up Wednesdays” and Nate Whitehill does “Powerfull Posts”. I have found some really interesting blogs this way.

Talk to Bloggers
A lot of bloggers have a contact form on their blog. Most bloggers read other blogs so if you send them an e-mail asking what blogs they read they are sure to give you a few links. I have asked a few bloggers what other blogs they read and they were happy show me some informative blogs.

If you are looking to add some new blogs to your list hopefully these tips have helped you!
