I mentioned Fractured Atlas as having a large group of blog rings, well I was mistaken. I went through all of the links found here and could not find one that was dedicated to simply bloggers. Below is all of the ones that worked, I will not add them to the syndication list on the right. All of them are for web journals, but none for blogs specifically.
Before I do that, I did find two blog specific sites that you might be interested in:
Name That Blog! is a new game / link exchange / advertisement system for use on any blog! Playing is simple: if you see Name That Blog! on a site, just guess which blog you think the post comes from. You’ll find out if you were right or wrong, and have the chance to visit any of the possible answers. Go ahead and submit your blog into the mix.
