I’d love to get a list of old school bloggers who are still at it. How would you go about that?
Building a list of old school bloggers
@davew After all these years, I think “webrings” and “blogrolls” is still the right answer to that question. Bloggers manually curating lists of other bloggers still feels like the most trustworthy source of inspiration for me.
Just like jumping from one Wikipedia article to another to learn new things can be fun, jumping from one site to another in a webring can be just as fun I think!
As an alternative, Kagi also recently created a “Small Web” list of active bloggers and content creators. I’ve been pretty happy with it. You can browse it here, and access the full list via RSS or an OPML file here.

I totally agree.
I got serious about my own blogroll about a year ago, after many years of latency.
Hooked it up to FeedLand an it makes a nice news reader on my homepage.
We even got it working with WordPress blogs, but there wasn’t much uptake.
Haven’t given up! 😀

Something I do occasionally is just type the WordPress tag into a browser like this:
https://wordpress.com/tag/computers
Presto! All the recent public posts about computers.
@JeffC1956 @jeremy @davew That’s interesting. Didn’t know it was a thing you could do. 😁 Thanks for sharing!
