Everybody's doin' it.
Sure there's a lot of crappy weblogs out there.
But there are some extraordinary blogs, too.
Let's build a resource of the best we've seen.
For starters ... I like this blog:

What Bloggers do you like?
it's great to see media companies getting on the action take for example the new "blog" by
chris matthewsMy personal favorite blog is on the bottom of this page...
(also my own page)

Dedicated to reducing the degree to which the government unfairly and unwisely extends its powers, by ensuring that it treats citizens fairly under the Constitution.
(not that there's anyone in the Cellar who would agree with anything on this blog)
I checked it out. It has very little to do with the Constitution.
might as well check out mine as well... it is still somewhat in the design/development stage.....

The Sycamore Manifestos a one post wonderblog? Am I missing something here?

Look, let's just accept reality here. The Sycamore Manifestos rock the fuck out. The end. :)
The most recent thread is posted as the "main" one. The last thread I posted was one just noting that the forum is now officially blogged. Recently posted-to threads are located on the left-hand side. As the number of manifestos grows, I'll work with UT to create an "archive" section, similar to IotD.
Now go look Nic...there are two posts. :)
Don't take it personally, man. I just wonder if the vBulletin blogview requires a single thread to be updated regularly as does the IotD. My blogview of The Sycamore Manifestos shows a single post from August 9th. But, hey, it's a great post ... so I keep comin' back everyday. ;)
Don't get me wrong, Syc, your user-hosted forums The Sycamore Manifestos are rockin' but the blogview ain't even knockin'.
I think what he means to say is that they aren't in the typical format of bloggers.
And that's true; in traditional blogging, you find a new post from the blogger on a pretty regular basis, and the comments are considered less important.
Yes. The vBulletin blogview seems to require "fresh content" that stimulates replies, as does the IotD thread.
In that case, each IotD is a stand-alone blogpost, (a one post wonderblog) with sidebar links to similar posts. The IotD post is at the top of the thread with commentary logically below in chronological order. Each thread has an initial image, idea or theme that ties the thread together.
Almost all weblogs maintain the bloggers' posts in reverse chronological order so the fresh content is at the top. This is not the case with the vBulletin blogviews.
So, it's just a question whether the vBulletin blogview that works so well for IotD, is going to be the appropriate software structure for a personal blog. It's a great software tool, don't get me wrong, but maybe not for every application.
Blind Date Blog is a blog with a difference!
