I know this sounds crazy, but if a site has a lot of subdivisions and ads and other crazy stuff occupying the major portion of their landing page, I assume that the information that I am looking for is going to be hard to find. I have arrived at the landing page based on searches and other techniques (here is an earlier post on how I locate blogs), and I assume that if I can’t get to the meat of the blog quickly and easily, the website has some other ulterior motive for me as the user.

Also there are buttons for your blog at http://www.blogburst.com/blogger/badges.html Hi Darren! Hey Vaspers,

Where do I find buttons for my sidebar that say "BlogBurst Member"? Perhaps you might consider making this part of Tools or Workbench. I probably spaced out and missed it. But many many blog services forget to do this, have a clickable button to add to the sidebar advertising the service. A variety of buttons is good, different colors, various sayings. P.S.

Google? Ice Rocket? Technorati? Sphere? Yahoo? MSN? Is there one reliable SE that you use, or do you try many? The blogrolls of the A Listers in a specific field, or the most prestigious blogs, would also seem very good. It's the old web linking credibility technique: link from credible known to find credible unknown. What would be the best Blog Search Engine to use to find good posts on various topics?
