Which Are The Best Christian Blogs?

My Christian Blogs makes it easy for you to follow all the best Christian blogs in one place. Now the obvious question. “How do I decide which blogs are the best?”

This post explains how I pick out the best Christian blogs. The comment section is open for you to share your thoughts.

When I created this site, I wanted to do something similar to AllTop, except focusing on Christian blogs and going much more in depth with topics.

But that still left the problem. Which are the best blogs in any given category? And how should I pick which Christian blogs belong on our front page?

So I came up with a list of quality indicators. These are broad principles which makes them work well in every topical category we track. The very best Christian blogs will do the following:

Attract reader engagement (comments, etc.)
Inspire reader loyalty (RSS subscribers)
Write from a Christian perspective
Attract attention from other blogs (back links, etc.)
Have an professional appearance
Write for the good of others
Make a unique contribution to the blogosphere

When one blog achieves all these, it truly becomes an authority blog for its topic. That is the kind of blog I want to list on this site.

For a blog to be worthy of the homepage it would need to have strong enough influence to affect all the other niche interests. It would have to have an appeal broader than it’s specific topic.

How Do The Front Page Blogs Compare

After 5 days of testing, I’ve made the first major revisions to the order and content of our front page. This was based mainly on two factors: which feeds were readers actually using and which blogs were stronger in Technorati authority.

While I had the data on hand, I wanted to share it. The following are dated numbers, and are likely to change in the near future. But they are accurate at the time of writing this post.
