Blogs.com asked for\u00a0a\u00a0list of the top 10 Christian blogs<\/a>. The list I offered is not the most representative, I admit, and it’s very idiosyncratic. It’s a combination of blogs I’ve been reading for years, blogs I return to for occasional perspective, and blogs I’m tracking closely at the moment.\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Speaking of favorite blogs—here are two others that rank at the top of my Most Visited list:\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Jason Kottke’s kottke.org<\/a>. It’s long been one of the most popular and influential blogs on the web, and for good reason.\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
