Good Question!

As I have thought about this, I have realised that the majority of the sites that I visit now, since I have started blogging, I do so, because in some shape and form, they may have material or impact me in some blogging way, particularly with CNNZ under way!

In New Zealand, there are 3 blogs that I will generally have a look at each day, apart from CNNZ, and see if there is anything new… Ozy Mandias Warning, Beretta Blog, and MandM… I will look at other blogs as well, but not as consistently! My reason for this is motivated by our community as much as anything else in our kiwi context!

Worldwide, in a Christian context, I use to frequent a greater range of blogs with more frequency, but of the ones I look at the most, Number One would be, “Between Two Worlds,” which I will visit each and every day and have a look, as Justin Taylor puts stuff on every day except Sunday, I believe! I do visit a number of other blogs, and I have looked at “Denny Burk” quite alot recently. I do have a blog roll that I keep, but I don’t always visit them that often!

Sports-wide, I don’t visit many blogs, and I don’t read as much as I did, but I do look at “Keo dot co dot za,” which is a SA Rugby (and cricket, but mostly rugby) blog. If you haven’t been to it, I would think you would probably enjoy it Oz, particularly when the Super 14 starts. I find it more interesting than say, the Silver Fern, which I looked at occasionally a number of years ago, for a short period of time. In Sports, I will generally do the rounds each day and have a look at the “FoxSports” site in Aus, sometimes “TimesOnline” in the UK, and definitely “TVNZ,” “Stuff,” and “NZ Herald” in Kiwiland. I did look at a couple of your sporting links when you had them up (BTW, from what I have seen, I think your new look works nicely)!

News, I tend to not visit too many blogs for this as well. I use to visit “Melanie Phillips’” blog on the Spectator site in the UK, and I would also have a look at “Spiked-online” in the UK as well, but not as much now (I must look again). I have gone through phases, depending if I am focused on an issue. For example, about 3 years ago, I did a large amount of reading on AGW, so I visited a number of blogs then. I also have an interest in the Middle East, so I have looked at blogs, such as “Robin Shepherd’s” blog, looking at some of the issues of this area. I also look at the same sites as the Sports that have news coverage as well. But, recently, for the blog, I have looked consistently at sites like, “The Drudge Report,” “WND,” and “NewsBusters” which tend to have stories that could be of interest, and so fodder, for CNNZ!

On our PC, the total number of blogs that I have bookmarked over the years, would be huge. Before I started blogging, when I had more time, I would visit and look at many different sites, but now, I am busy trying to crank something out, or doing something else!

Hope this provides some light OZ… Been a pleasure connecting with you Bud!
