The best way to find blogs to read is simply to start surfing.

Reading blogs as a budding blogger means looking at how they are set up, what content works and why it does, how often they are posting, what kinds of posts generate the most discussion, and so on. Reading popular blogs is a great way to get in the thick of things, and if you read blogs in the niche that you intend to blog yourself, you’ll also get a good idea of the landscape and where your new blog will fit in. The best way to find blogs to read is simply to start surfing. Google Blog Search and Technorati are two great places to begin your browsing, and more often than not, you’ll find posts linking to more posts and before you know it, you’ll be inundated! You may also wish to grab an account with a feed reader site like Google Reader and begin subscribing to the better blogs you come across. This is a good habit to get into as you enter into the world of blogging, as you’ll find there are a lot of sites to keep track of.
