Blogs are lurking where you least expect them

Thanks to our discussion today, I realized that a lot of websites I visit are actually blogs. I hadn't really thought about it before, but once I realized 538 was a blog (by realize, I guess I mean "once Amber told me..."), a whole new world opened up.
None of them are science blogs, but I'm beginning to think that blogs have become so ubiquitous and come so far from the stiff formatting that people don't really realize that they're reading blogs. I think this could be a little dangerous. If you don't know what you're reading, you can't bring the appropriate amount of skepticism to the reading.
On the other hand, looking at pretty dresses or cake disasters does not require a lot of skepticism.
