The appeal of blogging is that it’s a democratic arena; you can blog about any topic, any field, any subject that hooks your attention. While it is true that the more well-known blogs tend to be grouped around a finite selection of topics–politics, food, parenthood, technology–they’re really only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. I decided to do a little research on this topic and instead, I ended up falling down the Alice’s Rabbit hole that is Alltop.
Do you know about Alltop? It calls itself an “online magazine rack” and it gathers in one place a bunch of blogs on a bunch of subjects. I say bunch–even though I know only bananas come that way–because I can’t really say all or the most popular or even the most active blogs on a particular subject. What Alltop does have, however, is a wwwwiiiiidddeee variety of subjects that they cover. Topics are what they call them and I can’t tell you how many there are, because I got lost when I fell down that particular rabbit hole. Suffice to say, they have lots and lots of topics–and if they don’t have the one that you’re interested in, tell them and they’ll get it.
All of which is to say that Alltop is a great place to go to figure out where you belong in the blogosphere. Have a look at my Alltop page and feel free to read over my shoulder.
