So in thinking today about blogging and the series of Simple Things we are doing, I realized that other than mentioning Technorati I haven’t talked much about finding blogs. So here is a way to find those blogs that interest you most:

I’ve already mentioned Technorati, but there are also other places to search:

• IceRocket

• Google Blogsearch

• Syndic8

• Blog-Search

• Yahoo Blog Search

• BlogCatalog

• BlogHub

and many others. You can go to Google and type in blog search/blog directory.

You can also type into Google search the topic and then blog and it will pull up a few thousand urls with those words in there such as “small business blog”

You can also do a search for bloggers in your area. They might be writing on things you enjoy, but more importantly, they are local so if you need some help and would like to get some information from them, contact them and see if they have time to meet-invite one or several to a lunch. I don’t know of many bloggers who would turn down a free lunch!

You can also find blogs from the Blogroll of the blogs you like. A lot of times a blog author will list the blogs they like most and read and if you like what they have to say, then you should check out the blogs they like too.
