It has been more than 3 months since the last time I ranked my favorite 40 blogs, so I thought it was about time to do it again, for the third time in 2006.

Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, based on how often I visit them, how much I like what I see when I get there, how often the blogs are updated, etc., etc. Also, as per usual, do keep in mind that this sort of list changes frequently over time based on a variety of factors. So if a blog didn’t get included, it’s no big deal — it could be on the list next time.

Furthermore, if there are any other bloggers out there who rank at least 10 favorite blogs or more in order today and then link back to the post & let me know about it, I’ll add a link to your post right here later tonight.

Here’s the list:

PS: I decided to leave pages that compile “the best of the blogosphere” — like The Hotline’s Blogometer & GOPINION — out of the mix because I wasn’t sure if they’d count as blogs or not. Also, since I now write a column for Human Events, they’re not eligible to make the list.
