Attention all Link List owners

[RawAlex]

I was looking at adding a "blogs" section considering that my front page now has a link to the findpics blog. I have some seriously mixed feelings on accepting blogs into my main lists, though, as they are not exactly what I was originally looking for. I am also not sure that the standard "title - description" would really cover blogs properly.

Plus, creating a blog in theory is VERY easy, but in reality most people are just not up to writing anything. They have little real writing skills, don't have a plan or goal for the blog, and as a result, don't put up a quality product. As link sites for the most part use fairly objective standards for listing sites (number of pics, banners, return links, etc) I am stuck trying to figure out HOW to measure a blog properly. With hundreds of blogs out there, I don't want to be linking crap.

We also get into the "free hosted blog" problem. If you have a blog on blogspot or other, is that comparable to a free porn host? Would a third level (blog.yourdomain.com) be acceptable when freeporn.yourdomain.com wouldn't be when listing free sites?

At the end of the day, what is quality, and what is just verbal diarrhea?

To me it would be similar to reviewing a free site, the quality of it. Content would be the writing itself. Probably would'nt take much reading to see if it's any good. Then again, your kinda throwing out the rules you'd use for a free site.

As for free hosted blog, I think they are like free hosting, not going to take them. Some one takes the time to get a domain, install and set up a blog script, might be more apt to keep it up.

Seems a blog would be very subjective as far as reviewing goes.

Just my two cents...
