You subscribe by adding a feed URL to your reader. You can then browse posts from several sites in one place and open the original articles when you want to read more.</p> <h2 id="a-site-feed-or-a-topic-feed">A site feed or a topic feed?</h2> <p>A site&rsquo;s main feed usually contains posts from that site. Some publishers also offer category feeds, such as programming or personal writing. Choose the main feed for everything it contains, or a category feed for a narrower selection.</p>https://blog.elseweb.net/how-to-discover-independent-blogs/Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.elseweb.net/how-to-discover-independent-blogs/<p>Finding a good blog is often harder than following one. Start with a subject you want to understand, then look for people who write from experience. A small collection of useful sources is a better starting point than a long subscription list you never open.</p> <h2 id="start-with-a-specific-question">Start with a specific question</h2> <p>Instead of searching for “technology blogs”, try a question such as “how I moved my personal site to a static generator”. First-person accounts can reveal the decisions, mistakes and trade-offs that broad introductory articles leave out. Check the author, publication date and examples before adding a source.</p>
