Broaden your blogroll
There isn't an easy way to tell people how to find new blogs. Sure, you can use search engines, but how do you find the good ones? If you have some time to kill, the best place to start is the blogroll of the sites you already read. And if you find a new one, check out that blogroll, too.
John Wagner says to watch the little guys, too:
Open your eyes to the next wave of PR bloggers These bloggers are leading the next wave, with analysis and insight that is unique to their particular backgrounds and experiences. And their content tends to be more applicable and accessible to a wider audience than the heavy tech focus of the first-wave "A-listers."Yet they are often overlooked.
It's time to widen the circle a bit and give some room to the "next wavers" of PR blogging. They deserve recognition and respect.
And the New Persuasion blog lists the Ten Blogs I Would Pay For.
And here's a new blog to keep your eye on: The Holmes Report blog.

Thanks for the mention ... a lot of very good PR blogs were started in 2005, and they've helped transform the discussion away from pure tech issues to more mainstream marketing and PR issues.
The best way for us to help others find them is to do exactly what you're doing ... linking!

Glad to see you've found Paul Holmes' blog. It will be a leader before too long.

I agree with John, he has been very welcoming to this blogger. I also believe the only way to really learn the culture and skills of blogging is to jump in.
