I would say that I'm already pretty familiar with blogs. I write the blog for the Library's Virtual Book Club and many of my friends have their own personal blogs that I read. However, I'm hoping that this blog will allow me to do more than just write about books- hence, the combination 23 Things/Wedding blog!
a. When you google "blogs", about 3,530,000,000 results appear. This is an astounding number and a little bit overwhelming. Instead of just randomly clicking through blogs, I decided to hit up Google's Blogs of Note. This site is really helpful if you want to find great blogs, but don't really care what kind, since the layout doesn't make it very easy to find a specific kind of blog. I loved Nouveau Cheap, a super cute site devoted to cheap/drugstore makeup (my guilty pleasure), and Grilled Cheese Social, where the lovely author talks about her life in conjunction to fancy grilled cheese sandwiches! I will definitely be making the Bushwick Painkiller soon!
But since this blog is going to be more "wedding" than "delicious, bad for me things", I decided to google "wedding blogs". It brought me 368,000,000 results. The first results was a guide to the 100 best wedding blogs, so I figured this would be a good place to start. Like most things wedding related, you can get sucked into the blogs for hours at a time. My favorite so far, The Perfect Palette.
b. Blog.com was an ok site. They seemed intent on getting you to sign up for their hosting service, the templates were impossible to look at past page 1, and there weren't enough places to find some of the blogs. About the only place I could find them was all the way at the bottom of the homepage under "Blog.com Awards 2011". I take the ok back; it was a mediocre site at best.
