So Many Good Blogs. What to Do?

Wednesday May 14, 2008
Like you, I am starved for time. Then I look at DeafRead.com, and I am overwhelmed. So many good blogs and I can't read them all. Neither can you. Awhile ago, I experimented with a feature called "Blog of the Week." Now I am wondering if I should bring back "Blog of the Week" or should I just post "Blogs of Interest?" Obviously, I will miss many good quality blogs due to limited time for reading or watching blogs/vlogs. But as a guide for About.com, I feel a responsibility to at least bring to your attention some of the good blogs. Readers, what do you want me to do?
