So I wanted to take a quick moment to run through my blogroll, explain the sites a bit, and make a general note on what I include.  Basically, I include any site that I find to be well written and interesting.  The only requirement that I have is that you allow comments.  To me, blogging is great because of the potential for interaction with your readers.  If you do not allow, or overly censor, commenting on your blog, this is taken away.  Instead of a blog, you are a biased, unpopular attempt at an online newspaper.  Sorry, that’s the way I look at it.  In general, unless there is a theme I like or the blog includes other types of posts, I stay away from “my life” type blogs.  Sorry, it’s just a personal preference.

Without further ado:

30 Something and Searching: this is an exception to the personal blog rule, largely because I happened across one of Kelly’s posts on soemthing economic or political and thought it was well thought out and well written.

A Poet’s View: this is a good blog with commentary on various subjects.

Answer Man: this is a blog with answers to frequent questions on blogging in general, as well as VIP blogging with Today.com.  Very useful information.

Beyond Bulimia: I totally stumbled across this one and was surprised.  The quality of the writing and the honesty is what really hooked me.

Caffeinated Politics: A political commentary blog out of Madison.

Conservative Politics Today:  Pretty much what it sounds like.  A little extreme even from my standpoint, but well written and very interactive.

First Door on the Left: Left-leaning political commentary.

Fly Bottle: Political and economic commentary.

Frugal Living: This is one of the ubiquitous “frugality” blogs, but this one is well written and caught even my overconsuming eye.

Getting Back to Basics: Similar to Frugal Living (above).

Letters in Bottles: A conservative (but increasingly more moderate) political blog, originally out of Madison, now kind of spread out.

Matt-Speak: A conservative political blog.

News Today: News and political commentary.

Opinionated News: News commentary, usually not on the political stuff.

Political Conservatives:   Conservative political commentary.

Politics 2000: Political commentary.

Silly Mom Thoughts: Another exception to my no personal blogs rule.  I think it’s because she makes observations and funny commentary, rather than just telling the world what she did today.

Small Town Lawyer: A lawyer’s blog on legal topics and legal advice.

 The Progress of Liberty: Political commentary blog.

The Z Spot:  Quite possibly the best blog on the web.  No, not really.  But it is my other blog, with commentary on news, politics, and whatever else I feel like rambling about.

Waxing Poetically: One of my favorites.  Politics, art, random thoughts, a pretty good mix.

Alright.  Going through this I deleted several of them.  I should do this more often.  If yours was one of them, let me know and let me know why you think I should put your link back on my blogroll.  I try to keep this blogroll and the one at The Z Spot pretty close to synchronized.
