Blog Discovery

What do you think of the [minor] redesign?  A couple of changes I want to point out- the “tag cloud” is gone, but there is now a search box on the left.  Want to see all of my HNT posts?  Just enter “hnt” in the search field!

The Hot Dads image now links directly to that site.  I’m still working on a separate blogroll with my fellow “Hot Dads”.

I’ve enable nested/threaded comments in order to facilitate discussion.  I’m not quite sure how this will work in practice, but in theory, if another commenter says something you wish to [respectfully] comment on, you can do so with a “sub-comment” instead of a new comment altogether.  At the very least I’ll use this feature to reply to your comments, which I try to do anyway.  Just click on the “Reply” link within a comment if you want to try this.

Lately I felt like I was getting in a rut with the blogs I read on a daily basis.  No offense intended towards any of you, but it had been a while since I had discovered anything new that really drew me in.  Then Veronica told me about one she found, Mike and Angie Explore.  She said it was safe for work, so I went to her blogroll and clicked on the link.  And I got this:

Oops!  Thanks Veronica!  That’s the message I get at work when I click on something I shouldn’t and a major reason while I use Google Reader now.

Anyway, Mike and Angie mentioned a blog they like, Broadening Our Horizons, which is also written by a husband-wife team, so it immediately appealed to me.  And I find my blog on their blogroll!  Not only that, but it’s my old blogspot site, so it’s been at least 2 months that they’re presumably been lurking around my blog, yet I had no idea their blog even existed.

I need some more new-to-me blogs to read.  Any suggestions?  Heck, you think I might like your blog, come out of hiding and let me know!

Happy Monday!
