FAQ
We created Blogged.com because we felt that bloggers who really put
their minds and creativity into their writing deserve recognition. We
wanted Blogged.com to showcase the talented bloggers across the
blogosphere and serve not only as a blog directory, but also as a
destination where their writings can be appreciated. Bloggers are the
heart and soul of Blogged.com and it is their creativity and passion
that inspired us to create this site.
Our blogs are reviewed, rated, and categorized by our editors, so you won't have to experience the frustration of filtering through blogs that are either spam, outdated, or irrelevant. You'll be able to find quality blogs that you would have unlikely found through a traditional blog search.
I'm new and need help navigating the site. Where can I get more information?
Our Blogged Blog has tutorials on how to use the site and features. The tutorials can be found here: Blogged Tutorials
Some tutorials include:
What do you consider a Blog?
A blog is a website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent post at the top of the main page to the older post towards the bottom that provide information, comments, and/or news on a subject(s).
How do I submit my Blog?
You can submit your blog here.
Are there types of Blogs you don't accept?
Yes. We do not accept pornographic blogs, blogs that promote illegal downloads, spam blogs, or materials of any kind that our editors find objectionable.
On what do you base these ratings?
Editor reviews are based on the following criteria: Frequency of Updates, Relevance of Content, Site Design, and Writing Style. Blogs are compared to other blogs within the same category. Blogs that have not been reviewed by an editor will receive a "first impression score" by our system, which evaluates similar criteria. Ratings are not meant to endorse, promote or advertise a blog. They are an unbiased critique by editors. Currently, we may only provide editorial reviews for English language blogs.
Who are these editors?
Our editors have a strong domain knowledge in various subjects and review blogs within their area of expertise. Editors then evaluate the blog and rank it against its peers.
How can I get an editor to reevaluate my score?
If 10 or more users give your blog a significantly different score than the editors' score, let us know that you want your blog reviewed again and we may do so. However, we cannot promise that the new score will be higher.
Are user ratings factored in to the overall score?
Once a blog has received a significant number of user ratings, the site will display both a user average score and the editor's score.

I wrote a review, but it's not showing up. Where is it?
Only registered users can write a review. If you are registered and your review doesn't show up it could be that you have not verified your email address. Maybe the email verification email went to your spam folder. It happens. Once you verify your email address, your review will show up.
Where do these articles come from?
All articles come from blogs in our database.
Why can't I follow any more Blogged users?
There is a 2,000 people limit on the amount of users you can follow. Once you have reached that limit, you cannot follow anymore people until the number gap of people following you is closer to the number of people you are following. This limit is to help in the prevention of user and system abuse.
