The other methods of searching for a blog involved a bit more creativity to find sites of interests. I think one of the most important things to keep in mind, is how often do you want to look at a site. Some sites will had 20-30 posts a day, depending on the number of bloggers helping to maintain it. That can pile up in your inbox and become overwhelming which to me defeats the purpose of an RSS reader to begin with.
One of the blogs that I came across was called Earth Science Picture of the Day. They had a photo showing the seasons of the Earth, which I plan to use in class. It was a very interesting photo that you can view at this LINK.
I think searching for a blog is like searching for anything else on the internet, it can easily become overwhelming with the flood of information available. You have to be careful in the sites you use and make sure that they have filters that allow you to limit your returns. I think some of the best ways to look are on sites that recognize good blogs such as Edublog. At that point a lot of the work to weed between the good, the bad, and the ugly has already taken place.
