I imported the OPML file I made from the misbehaving blogroll and use that for SmartFeeds to find new tech bloggers for BlogHer. Here's the file: http://www.annezelenka.com/misbehaving.xml It's 100+ feeds, I think, so it's not very useful unless you do something to limit results, like using SmartFeeds. By the way, I didn't see you on BlogHer's tech blogroll yet--sorry about that--I've requested that your blog be listed. Should be up there this week. At some point, I imagine BlogHer will offer OPML files by topic area. Hi Virginia,

By the way, I didn’t see you on BlogHer’s tech blogroll yet–sorry about that–I’ve requested that your blog be listed. Should be up there this week.

At some point, I imagine BlogHer will offer OPML files by topic area.

I thought perhaps I'd find some new and interesting blogs that way. I've certainly found some interesting ones (such as yours) since joining BlogHer. I found the categories offered by default no where near what I was intersted in, but I had hope for the keywords I entered. Blog Bridge came back loaded with lots of suggested reading. Not a single one of my self-selected blogs of interest (such as those I list on my own blog) were among those offered by Blog Bridge, however. Obviously, I'm hoping Blog Bridge will lead me to new sources. But I'm thinking my keywords and category choices have failed me if they don't even come up with one of my normal favorites. And I couldn't help noticing that most of the blogs they suggested that were titled with a person's name were men's names. What did you think of the job it did finding appropriate sources for you?
