I must confess from the start, despite all the cutting-edge technology available at my fingertips (home, office, phone, and school), I am just a low- tech gal intimidated by our high- tech world.<\/p>\n

\"computer<\/a>Impressed with my ability to create this blog page in less than an hour, I had high hopes for my first homework assignment to blog on a blog. After all, how hard could it be to find a blog? Can\u2019t I just Google one? – all you techies out there can stop laughing.<\/p>\n

It is clear to me now that there are an overwhelming number of blogs and an abundance of topics to choose from.
\nThankfully, I found help in an article titled “Ten Ways to Find Blogs You’ll Love”at \u00a0Mashable Social Media<\/a>.The article can be found with a simple search of the title and, provides a valuable jumping off point for a beginner like me. Ten popular blog directory sites are described in easy to understand terminology and includes highlights for advanced users from a design perspective.<\/p>\n

Of the ten listed my favorite is Alltop<\/a>. I found it easy to navigate, the topics are categorized well, and offer a variety of easy to use search and save options. With this new information and a little luck, I have high hopes for my internet explorations!<\/p>\n
