Blogrolls - Potential Lists of Great Resources

If you are lucky enough to find a blog that contains specific information in which you are genuinely interested, more than likely the writer's blogroll will contain links that could be of great use. The only problem is narrowing down the list. Being the novice blogger that I am, I am truly amazed at the lengths of some of these blogrolls. I also find the fact that most blogrolls simply list the names of blogs very frustrating, because it offers little insight into what information may be found on these blogs. I barely have enough time to work 8 hours during the day, post to my blog at night and try to function properly as a human being, much less read 20 other blogs and decipher through random information until I find what I am looking for.

I started off not really knowing what I wanted to add to my blogroll and for the most part, I have left it fairly empty. As I continue to work on my postings and further develop my blog, I'm sure the content of my blogroll will change dramatically. In a way, I feel as though my blogroll will develop into a type of interactive and comprehensive online "bibliography" for my research project and I hope to offer some type of description of what other readers might expect from those blogs.

It's been hard for me to judge if people are interested in my blog and reading the information I'm putting out there, but I'm certainly learning from what other people are doing. Perhaps people are put off by the political nature of my blog or perhaps they are uncomfortable with the content. For me, writing about what I know and am passionate about is a great release. It's also a great way to share information and to learn from each other about the things and people we may never experience during our lifetime.
