How do you search for blogs?
It sounds like a silly question I know, but I'm serious. How do you find blogs that are of interest to you? I enjoy reading a few blogs that I found through the Blogs of Note feature, but I wish there were a better way to find clever blogs that aren't necessarily topic specific (ie: photography/cooking/art). Some of the blogs I'm currently following I found only because of a link "party", while others were recommended by friends.
So I'm curious...how did YOU find some of YOUR favorite blogs?
Besides recommendations, most of the blogs I frequent are linked to other blogs I like. If a blog I like is linking to another blog, I figure that blog must be just as good. Sometimes, they aren't but it's worth a shot.
ReplyDeleteOther times, I may randomly click on the follower of a blog I follow as we obviously have a shared interest. This makes me sound like I have a lot of time on my hands so I'm going to blame tonsillitis even though my tonsils have mostly healed. :)
Too funny, I have wondered the same exact thing!! I figured out you can do a search on google of keywords and limit it to blogs that come up, but still could be a crap shoot I guess...good luck :)
ReplyDeleteThe only way I've ever found blogs is through other blogs. I have never actually typed in a search word and found a blog that way. It's always been through another friend's blog or someone finds me through another blog.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I think photos are so important (people, places, things). The photos spark people's interest and then they want to check out the photo to see what it's all about.
I've found a lot of new blogs via blogs I already like. So I'll get to someone else's blog because they've left a comment on a post I liked. Also, a lot of blogs also list their favorite blogs in a blogroll and I check them out.
ReplyDeleteOh, girl. I waste ridiculous amounts of time going through other people's blogrolls and also checking out the people who comment on blogs I read... The possibilities are endless!!
ReplyDeleteWHEW. I read Jenni's comment and Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" queued in.
ReplyDeleteAngie, Thanks for your comment on my blog! I'm glad you enjoyed the post- you aren't the first person who has enjoyed it for that very reason of getting to know me. It DOES seem as if it came at the right time :) I hope you'll continue to read!
ReplyDeleteAs for a response to your post here about blogs. In all honesty, I find blogs I like and the majority of them have a "blog roll" or list of their favorite blogs somewhere on their page. Chances are, if you like that blog you will like some of the ones they like as well. For starters, visit some of the links on my blog (located on the left side) and just keep going from there! Good luck :) Let me know how your findings go.

Your comment has made me curious. . .hope I didn't offend. . .not my intent at all. Just venting and feeling penned in by judgements.
ReplyDeleteGo to google.com
ReplyDeletetype in the search box:
find a blog
then the next search box type different key words or topics. etc.
hope this helps or is even what you were asking.
have stopped by your blog a few times. I love it! I'm jealous of where you live. :) My sis in law lives on Oahu, Ford Island.
have a good evening!
Mostly I found the blogs I read by looking at what other bloggers are reading in their blog rolls....or following links etc.
ReplyDeleteAt this point there are so many that I like to read, I don't have time to intentionally look for more.
