Updated December 19, 2006
When I started this project, I thought there were about 200 Ortho-Blogs. My blogroll recently reached a high point of 2305. So I have decided in the interests of practicality, to start eliminating links. The plan is to wind up with a list of the 1000 best Ortho-Blogs.
The links to be eliminated are as follows: 1. Duplications 2.Blogs with no activity in 2006. 3. Links to sites which are not actually blogs 4. Links to blogs with no content 5. Links to blogs which have virtually no content. and 6. Links to blogs which are not sufficiently relevant to the Orthodox Jewish community.

this is an amazing list
my question to you is apart from blogging, do you have time for a life?
I am flattered I am on your list: I thought I was alone in writing about sexual desire within the frum world but now I know I am one voice of many
anyway come over for coffee
Mr. dating master!
thanks for checking in and leaving a comment. About the List-- well I just add a little at a time! I started over a year ago, and really thought that a comprehensive list was possible, but now I think the List will forever be a work in progress, because I do "have a life" and can't just blog. Have a gut Voch,
Ms.sc
Hi, I love your list! By the way, you happened to mix up two blogs. Mine is called The Ignoble Experiment, a.k.a. Live Dangerously! The blog Myrtus is in my blogroll, and its author is... Myrtus. It's a really good blog as well, but when the two are mixed up, people go to our blogs looking for the other one. Thanks!
Can you please add me to your blogroll?
JewinLondon.blogspot.com forever!
How do I get put on the list?
I'm not orthodox, nor is my blog. I appreciate the link, but it seems like false advertising. I belong on either ALOCB (Awesomely Long List Of Conservative Blogs) or a more-inclusive ALOJB (Awesomely Long List Of Jewish Blogs).
Please add our site:

hey man -
how do i get on ur list?
btw i watched ur whole video.. cant believe it but ya i did...
thanks for adding me to your list.
How did you find it?
I have not identified myself as Orthodox ever since I left the cult six years ago.
Do you feel that my content is sufficiently relevant to the Orthodox community?
Just noticed this page's existence from a Google search. I appreciate the link, but, I'm not quite Ortho. Occasionally, my content is intersting to Orthos, but, it's primarily from a traditionalist-halachist-egalitarian perspective.
here is a very interesting new blog, which is a bit suprising, but i think that it will get alot of viewings by Chasidim..

I like your idea. It makes it easy to find jewish bloggers.
Sholom, thanks for visiting my blog. In answer to your question, which was, is your blog sufficiently interesting to the frum community,I would have to say yes. I favor an inclusive approach for my list, which includes links to the Lives of all of us. That's why you will find here regular frum, ex-frum, BTs, Jews-in-training, closet skeptics, Conservadox, community critics and community defenders alike. Thats because variety is the spice of life. I have hated judgementalism and bigotry since I was a tiny little Space Cadet, and was forced to live with it in the home of the Parental Units.

ALLOOB needs to be winnowed down because a lot of the links are old and no longer valid. Like, you click the link only to get diverted to a marketing site. Or the blog has been deleted by the author. Or they are duplicated on Alloob. Some of the links were really cool sites, but thet weren't blogs, and this is supposed to be a blog list. Some of my links were to blogs which were political or funny, but not frum, per se, so to keep in the spirit of my list, i am trying to eliminate those too, because my readers, all six of them, can find those links elsewhere. Gotta go, Ms SC
calmkallahs.com
what about Circus Tent?
I Thank You in advance.
To Anonymous,
Thank you 4 your input. However, Calmkallahs.com is not a blog, it is a forum. Therefore, it cannot be included in ALLOOB. -- Ms. SC
To Hirshel Tzig, Your blog is on ALLOOB. Scroll down to The Anti Tzemach. Thanks 4 writing. -- Ms. SC

add me
I've got a new one to add.
http://www.SolutionsForJewishMoms.com
I've been running www.SolutionsForBusyMoms.com For over a year, but I decided I wanted to put all my Jewish solutions in a different blog. Yes, I'm frum and it's kosher
for months it's been bothering me, and now i've finally decided to speak up.
can ye please edit my blog name to its proper title-al tishali oti (three distinct beautiful words)?
asante!

Thanks.
Bloggers please add chat to your site see "embed chat room" button at bottom of my last chat room.
The more the freilicher.
This blog is ah-mazing!
Thanks for adding my blog to this list :)
How about winnowing out the blogs which have pornographic photos on them? I know many people think porn is orthodox, but we could minimize those "orthodox" discussions to exchange of ideas, not pictures of body parts. Posting photos in the name of freedom, is a lame justification for pornography.
B"H Hi. Great Resource! how about
http://wayeshevyaaqov.blogspot.com, too? Thanks!
