Ah yes, the age of blogs. Seems like yesterday you'd stumble on interesting blogs by people, and they would link to 20 or so more interesting blogs... And you could subscribe to all of them using RSS. And there were easy tools to subscribe to RSS feeds, and also publish your blog as an RSS feed.
It ain't so easy these days.
