			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A reader (<em>okay fine, Wendy&#8217;s mother</em>) asked:You&#8217;re always telling me that there are blogs that I&#8217;d want to read. How do you expect me to find them?I want to read about genealogy.<br />
One easy way to find some starting points is to use the <a href="http://blogsearch.google.com/">Google Blogsearch</a>. For this, I typed in <em>genealogy</em> and the top results were:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.genealogyandhow.com/" id="b-1" target="nw">Genealogy and How</a> &#8211; Daily blog of online genealogy records and databases<br />
<a href="http://genealogyblog.com/" id="b-2" target="nw">Genealogy Blog</a> &#8211; Genealogy on the Internet :: Today and Everyday<br />
<a href="http://www.eogn.com/" id="b-3" target="nw">Eastman&#8217;s Online Genealogy Newsletter</a> &#8211; The DAILY newsletter for genealogy consumers, packed with straight talk &#8211; hold the sugar coating &#8211; whether the vendors like it or not! Check&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.rssgenealogy.com/" id="b-4" target="nw">RssGenealogy.com &#8211; Latest Genealogy News</a> &#8211; One source for all the latest genealogy news<br />
<a href="http://genealogyguys.com/" id="b-5" target="nw">The Genealogy Guys Podcast</a> &#8211; George G. Morgan and Drew Smith discuss genealogy! Their podcast is the longest-running, continuous genealogy podcast</p>
<p>Then, when you start reading the first one, Genealogy and How, you&#8217;ll see the blogroll is:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eogn.com/">Dick Eastman</a><br />
<a href="http://www.genealogyblog.com/">GenealogyBlog</a><br />
<a href="http://news.genealogytoday.com/">GenealogyToday</a><br />
<a href="http://www.rssgenealogy.com/">RSS Genealogy</a><br />
<a href="http://genealogy.about.com/">About Genealogy</a><br />
<a href="http://olivetreegenealogy.blogspot.com/">Olive Tree</a><br />
<a href="http://paper-trail.blogspot.com/">The Paper Trail</a><br />
<a href="http://ancestorsatrest.blogspot.com/">Ancestors at Rest</a><br />
<a href="http://familybibles.blogspot.com/">Family Bibles</a><br />
<a href="http://canadianlibgenie.blogspot.com/">Canadian Lib Genie</a><br />
<a href="http://www.familyandlocalhistories.com/">Family &amp; Local Histories</a><br />
<a href="http://www.interment.net/column/index.htm">Interment.net Blog</a><br />
<a href="http://www.death-records.net/">Death Records Blog</a></p>
<p>If you go to <a href="http://www.rssgenealogy.com/">RSS Genealogy</a>, you&#8217;ll find 63 feeds. Wow.</p>
<p>You get the picture. What takes time is figuring out which ones matter. Which are worth reading. But if you pick a trail and follow it, you are bound to find some interesting and worthwhile sites.</p>
<p>There are other ways to go about this, as well. You can find articles in trade publications, consumer magazines&#8230;even newspapers&#8230;that talk about respected blogs.</p>
<p>What you&#8217;ll find is that in any category, there are blogs that are linked to most often. These are worth checking out, for sure.</p>
<p>You can go to <a href="http://www.alexa.org/">Alexa</a> and see what the traffic is for specific blogs. If it&#8217;s wildly popular, check it out.</p>
<p>(And of course, there are many blog search engines and directories! So don&#8217;t get too tied down to Google. Some swear by <a href="http://www.technorati.com/">Technorati</a>, some <a href="http://www.blogdigger.com/">Blogdigger</a>. And some really interesting metasearches like <a href="http://www,talkdigger.com/">Talk Digger</a>. I bet we revisit that one soon &#8211; it&#8217;s really neat.)</p>
<p>So go crazy! And try not to get too distracted by all the interesting things you find <em>off-topic</em>!</p>
