Attention all Link List owners

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?
