Inspired to do some creative link gathering by a post on John Chow dot com i came up with this idea (i think that i came up with it at least!). Below are 26 blogs listed alphabetically that i have found useful, are a friend, or that i recommend. (Feel free to list them any way you want – QWERTY perhaps) Why would you want to do this? Ideally some of the people you link to will reciprocate and the more links you have the better your Technorati ranking, the higher your pagerank, and more strength your site has in search results. Need help finding some new blogs for some obscure letters? Try Blogtopsites personal category, Technorati, BlogBait, or Blogg Buzz. You could look through the Bloggies winners also but don’t expect a link back from most of them!

1. Copy this list from the blog you found it on.
2. Replace your blog in the appropriate slot.
3. Replace at least a few other blogs listed with ones you visit but try to leave the site that referred you on the list.

A – Alex King
B – Bailee Martin
C – Cena Martin
D – Dustin Bachrach
E – Elsewheres
F – Frank Gruber
G – Google’s official blog
H - Heather Canik
I – Instructables
J – JohnTP
K – Karna Williams
L – Littleghettoblaster
M – Mike Davidson
N – Nebuchadnezzar
O – Oblogotory
P – Partyben
Q – Quincy
R – Robin Jenkinson
S – Shoemoney
T – Tonka Seafoods
U – Ursula Hitler
V – Valerie
W – Will Mayo
X – X-Entertainment
Y – Yosuke Yanase
Z – Zieak

This list took me quite a few tries to complete and the best way to fill in some of the random letters for me was to think of a name that started with the letter i was missing and then do a search on Technorati for it. Use the drop-down for “in blog directory”.
