Thoughts on blogs

I've decided that there are already entirely enough food blogs out there, so I'm not going to bother starting another one. This is in part due to my realization (while cruising foodblogs) that the single most important attribute in a blog, in addition to liking the content, is how regularly it's updated. When I see a a great blog post, and consider adding it to my feed reader, I immediately look to see how recently it has been updated, and how often it gets updated. Anything that doesn't get at least a few posts a month doesn't get added, and it has to be pretty amazing if it's only getting a weekly post to get added. Bottom line is that I probably wouldn't be updating a blog which was food-only often enough to make it worthwhile.

I did come across a delicious food porn site which I'm pretty amazed I hadn't seen before, Photograzing. It was through going to many of the author blogs to find which were heavily or entirely vegetarian or vegan, though, that I realized that the food blog universe already has plenty of material.
