Bloggernacle Back Bench: In search of Mormon blogs
I get asked that question frequently. And my response is always the same: there are a lot of ways. Let me outline how I search.
1st click: I start with a blog aggregator. As discussed in a previous techie tip, these can show you a list of blogs and most recent posts. I use Mormon Blogs, Mormon Archipelago, LDSelect.org and just recently discovered LDS Blogs.
2nd click: I start choosing posts/blogs that intrigue me. I skim through contents and carefully read the more interesting posts.
3rd click: A few blogs provide their own picks of the week or day or whenever-they-feel-like-it interspersed within their content posts, i.e. "LDS & Mormon Blogs" on A Soft Answer and the "The Bloggernacle Minute" on Dave's Mormon Inquiry.
4th click: Most blogs have a side blog roll highlighting their favorite blogs. I sometimes randomly choose a few to check out.
5th click: My RSS reader automatically updates the blogs I have highlighted and I can skim through the posts. I�ll discuss RSS readers in a future column.
6th click: Sometimes I Google search a term or title that I want to know more about.
7th click: You! I get emails from readers who would like me to check out their blogs. I love it! Keep doing it.
Following are some amazing Bloggernacle finds from this past week:
Power Pick: Deciding when to have children. Wow, this is one of those topics that can illicit a range of emotions. In the powerful post "Evolution of Official Birth Control Teachings in the Mormon Church", Bored in Vernal highlights some of what the presidents of the Church have counseled/opined concerning birth control. Fascinating! I echo the commenter who said that it is "great to see all this information in one place."
