There are a few common ways to find new blogs.
I almost exclusively find blogs through the last method. With all the link exchanging for SEO that happens in sidebars and with all the noise in the search engines, the last one seems to be the only one where you have a fairly good chance of getting good content on the other side of the click.
Another tool I use to find new blogs is StumbleUpon. It is a toolbar that you add to your browser that lets you tell it what kinds of things you want to search for. Then when you hit the Stumble! button, it will take you to a page that other Stumble Upon users have flagged as belong to the category you are looking for.
In theory it is a pretty clever system and once you get through all the small business/home businesses that seem to dominate a lot of the searches that I do, you can find a lot of new, interesting perspectives. Plus, as you tag stories, you help make the search engine more accurate.

Well, I am kind of biased, but I think #4 should be Personal Bee… Of course you could just read beehives instead of blogs. But in any case you can certainly discover blogs - pre-organized around topics…
