What makes a good blog?

The Top Five Ingredients of a Bookmark-Worthy Blog

1. Responsive to and conversant with current events. (e.g., Powerline)
2. Sharp, analytic observations that are intellectually consistent. (e.g., Real Clear Politics)
3. Humor. (e.g., Best of the Web)
4. *Not* a personal life narrative. (*not* Andrew Sullivan)
5. You learn something real, unique, and new. (e.g., The Horserace Blog, The Becker-Posner Blog).
