I love blogs!! It's so fun to see what other people are making and doing - very inspiring. The only downside to blogs is it's difficult to find specific topics. If you're into machine quilting, for example, you can spend a lot of time looking for bloggers that are into the same thing.

Well, I found a solution at http://www.bloggersentral/. They share how to search blog profiles with keywords. It's really quite simple. You just copy the correct search url into a browser address bar and add the keywords you're searching for. You can search for keywords in blog profiles with the following topics: industry, occupation, location, interests, favorite movies, favorite music, favorite books.

Here's an example of how it works. If I'm looking for bloggers that have machine applique listed in their profile as an interest, I copy this line - www.blogger.com/profile-find.g?t=i&q=KEYWORD(S)_HERE - into the address bar in a browser window (just as though I were typing in http://www.amazon.com/) and change the keywords to "machine applique" (without the quotes).
