I do think we have a flaw in thought. I talked this over with a peer here in the Chicago area and we both find the flaw that you want to rate a blog.
A blog at time can vary to cover a wide variety of topics. Does codestore.net count as a blog for Domino content when it only talks about the web components/web programming? It really does not talk about administrator or more specifically the Lotus Notes client.
I really don't think there is a pure technical blog, but what is fairly close is Steve Castledine's blog as he only talks about his product on his blog and puts other topics about his life on his personal blog. If we look at Ed Brill, Ben Poole, Jake H., Richard Schwartz, Rocky, Ben L, myself, etc our blogs are an aggregate of everything in our lifes. Part of humanity is wanting to share about our life experiences. There are Domino/Lotus Notes topics -- granted not all facelts -- and topics about our personal interests. But I don't view it as a downfall to these blog authors as I like these other contents as well. I feel there is a better connection as a blog reader because I get more insight to what they share through their blog than just their work or hobby in the Lotus Notes/Domino.
It seems a losing battle to me when you want to either weed out blogs or find specifici blog topics because you are almost asking the blog author to do specific publishing or limit what the blog author wants to publish. I look at something like dominoblogs.com differently in that there are people who share the Lotus Notes/Domino passion, but that is just one part of their identity. And these people want to see their identity in their blog than one component.
