The first one I picked off the "Top 50 Librarian Blogs"--I liked what the author, Meredith Farkas, had to say. Her topics were relevant, and the personal anecdotes were interesting. The blog was also well-written, which, if you are going to be a professional book geek, should count for something.
The second blog I added to my list was one by David Jakes, whom I've seen at WEMTA and with whom I've been very impressed. He always has tons of technology stuff on his site, and since he works with educators, he knows the stuff that will be useful to most teachers. I also like his philosophical posts--they tend to generate discussion on his site.
Wow, two posts in one day--I'm not sure if that makes me dedicated or just a sad little person.
I'm amazed at how much some of these bloggers post. I think the secret is to either post a long message about once a week or use it for shorter, more personal things more often. I follow David Jakes, too. You might also want to look at Will Richardson's blog. He is a high school English teacher which might be near and dear to your heart.
