Good blogs

Merlin Mann over at 43folders had a very interesting post on what makes a good blog.

Good blogs are the product of “Attention times Interest.” A blog shows me where someone’s attention tends to go. Then, on some level, they encourage me to follow the evolution of their interest through a day or a year. There’s a story here. Ethical “via” links make it easy for me to follow their specific trail of attention, then join them for a walk made out of words.

There's a lot of interesting information in the full article, all of which is useful in understanding not "how do I get my blog noticed" (which is what most of these types of articles focus on) but more "how do I have a blog that doesn't suck."

Good reading.
