10 Blog guides and catchers

Within Technorati I found and subscribed to this blog:
http://www.bloglines.com/sub/http://feeds.feedburner.com/LibrariansMatter

From Google Blog Search I found and suscribed to the Chronicler of Higher Education blog as listed in my RSS subscription in Google Reader.

Unless mistaken a number of blogs do not permit/allow to subscribe to them. I could not find the RSS feed for the following:
http://bettereflteacher.blogspot.com/2008/04/common-english-as-foreign-language.html

This blog has since disappeared:
http://philosophy-of-educationridhcuwzk.blogspot.com/
These 2 examples are a tiny sample of links that don't seem to go anywhere but I'm ready to be corrected.


However I came across a blog directory: http://www.getblogs.com/
The Blog Directory is a comprehensive human edited directory of over 11,000 Weblogs in 190+ categories. Search for blogs, or submit your blog to our blog directory for free.

Following the path: Directory > Education & Learning Blogs > Library Science Blogs I found this strangely titled blog:
http://www.bookslut.com/blog/
Bookslut's editor-in-chief, Jessa Crispin, provides links and commentary for those who love to read.

These blog finders can be useful if kept up to date. I'd rather use the getblogs directory as my first port of call in the hope of not finding dead wood.

The Better EFL Teacher blog can be subscribed to. If you are not provided with a feed url, you can use the blog url and your reader will find the feed url for you. If you're not sure what I mean, I'll show you.
