That’s how many blogs I now have over at Bend Blogs after coming across a pile of LiveJournal folks in this public directory (thanks to this ORTalk post). I’m still working on a way to better index all that content so it doesn’t bulldoze my server (as aggregating all that content is a bit of a processor hog with off-the-shelf solutions, and I’m not cool enough to be able to home-brew my own software like Paul did at ORblogs). I know I need an RSS feed for it as well, and that’s on my never-ending to-do list. At some point, I’d like to integrate a rolling Bend Blogs file that I can include into the “Bend Blogs” links on the right side of this page (which hasn’t been updated in a long time) that will show that latest 15 or so blogs that have been updated.
As always, pop me a note if there are any sites that I’m missing (or if you want to suggest a fairly simple but robust aggregating solution that I can actually tweak fairly easily).

Jake,
What kind of “rolling blogs” file do you think you are looking for? As someone who has sorta rolled my own I might have some ideas for you – and maybe even some code 😉
