Follow-up on BLOGS
Heather Austin, Blizzard Internet Marketing, Inc.

We received great feedback from our February BLOG article, so we decided to provide another article that offers information on how to find a blog related to topics you are interested in, as well as links to other informative blog sites. You’ll learn that starting your own blog can easily be done through popular services such as Bloglines and Blogger.com. Also, see the list below for a few more examples of Industry blogs.

A Cool Blog Discovery Tool
By Chris Sherman, Associate Editor - March 9, 2005

"There’s a lot of great content out there on those millions of blogs, but finding the good ones related to your own interests can be a challenge. A set of tools from Blogstreet can help. [One way to find good blog content] is to explore the "blogrolling" links that many bloggers create to other blogs. But you’re never really sure if someone has linked to another blog because they like the blog, or out of obligation or some other reason. Another approach is to use a blog search engines, such as Daypop, Bloglines, Technorati, or Feedster."
