Though it was a contributing factor.
I decided I wanted to read some blogs. And I discovered that a lot of my favorite bloggers had stopped blogging. My first instinct was just to delete a bunch of people from my "Blogs I Love" page, but that seemed really negative. Plus, that wouldn't give me an excuse to spend hours reading blogs.
I decided to try something completely different, too. When I've discovered new bloggers before, it was generally because they were somehow affiliated with other bloggers I read. Either they guest posted, or they were on a blogging friend's blogroll, or they wrote on a group blog that I either contributed to or knew someone who did.
This time, I used the power of Google to discover completely new blogs. Well, new to me, anyhow. Apparently a lot of these people were popular already. It was harder than I'd thought, to find blog posts I loved this way. But I found a few:
- I loved this post about raising three by Dudemom.
- This post from Rants from Mommyland about being in The Sweet Spot of parenting is full of awesome.
- How have I not discovered Writing, Wishing before?
- Introverts unite! Great post at Things I Can't Say.
But then there are my precious favorite bloggers, some of whom I've been reading since I discovered this whole blogging thing back in the aughts.
- I don't know how Tracie says so much in just a few words, but she totally does.
- Reading just about anything at My Mommy's Place makes me happy, but I loved this post about geocaching especially.
- My favorite thing on Dawn's blog is all the cool posts about music. They help me pretend I am hip.
What posts did you love this week? Link to them in the comments - and yes, it's totally cool if you link to one of your own posts. I'm serious about this blogroll overhaul thing.
