Have you tried using the directory here?-
yeah. I have found personal recs. yield better results.

Since I started searching I must admit I have found a lot of junk, but a few good ones. i guess anything is like that. This is a good place to search either way.

I'm blogging my life story. Does that count?
adultchildbio.blogspot.com-
I figure I can have another Christian blog in my travels

-
Mr. Riley, what is your blog url? I couldn't find it.
-
With an air of diffidence and humility which may have become familiar, I'd like to suggest
"Through One Dad's Eye - Raising a family and building websites in small town America ( smalltowndad.blogspot.com/ ).
It's brilliant! incisive! profound!
And I should know: I write it myself!

I've been to the river and the water is cool!

I truly love the way you are using images and flickr. Keep up the good work.

I like mine because of my passion in taking pictures. So almost each post goes with a picture. My layout as well as content has many rooms for improvement. hintheman.blogspot.com
As for a recent personal blog that I truly admire and relate to is this one:
othejoys.blogspot.com/ as it talks about the joys in raising kids in the author's daily struggles between work, life and family. Very funny sarcastic, full with wits, and good read for me.-
Thank you.

Mine is a new "bog" about a Macrobiotic diet and being a parent (and being me of course):
macrobioticmom.blogspot.com-
Finally. Were you the only one who noticed that or was everyone else too polite to say anything? -
Ha! You caught my typo. Did you know that bog means dead mummy body?
-
You mean as opposed to live mummy body? Ok well don't tell anyone. I don't want to jinx it. Please don't ask me "jinx what?"

I like my friend Cat's personal blog. It's quite funny and thought provoking, too.

bogs, quagmires, swamps, all the same to me! Each with its own character, dangers, amazing wildlife. I saw a documentary on the Okeefanokee (spelling is off I'm sure, sorry) and it was enthralling and frightening at the same time. There is a salt marsh at the tip of manhattan with amazing wildlife, things you would'nt expect to see in such an urban environment. -
Oh yeah, it's not a mummy huh?
-
try mine maybe it counts! hehe femikey.blogspot.com -
checkmy blog.. do u count it as personal ?

Riley,
Your daughter is lovely.

I guess mine makes for an entertaining read , if you are looking to pass some time
www.one-more-why.blogspot.com -
I actually won best overall blog in this contest here in my country so I reckon my blog's pretty interesting. And afterall, personal blogs are only as interesting as the author's life =)
www.crichi.com -
Mine is a personal one too. Welcome to noodle-house.blogspot.com -

Well thank you to everyone. I've read all the blogs above and put several on my Google Reader. That's the tool I use to get to know new blogs over time.
I have noticed that, while they are all impressive, most seem to be simple 2 or 3 line entries with an occasional pics. Ironically enough, these are the ones that have the most "elaborate" themes and widgets every which way but loose.
What I like to find and read are the ones where the blogger takes the time to illustrate a thought, from life, with WORDS. Pictures should be secondary in my view.
I have a long term goal to have anywhere from 50-100 blogs on my blogroll that are in this zone. Not blurby and not commercial. Thought out writing that gives me a chuckle or maybe even a tear once in a while. If you know of any like this, pls post the uri here. Thank you!-
you can try mine ... lately it's been some artwork, but go back just a little further and there are plenty of words. some say too many words.

rileycentral:
Did I just hear you say you're interested in a blog where words are primary and pix incidental? I happen to know of one you may want to explore:

Hi Mr Riley,
My Blog it's www.1millionlovemessages.com
Not a personal diary.... but... a Love Diary :-) -
My favorite personal blog is from my best friend in blogcatalog from walksfarwoman in walksfarwoman.wordpress.com/ And Riley, I have joined your neighbor as I do like your personal blog with your thoughts and experience in good writing. You have something that I need to learn from.

Well...if you like someone who tries to find humor in every day life events you can read mine.
realitybanned.blogspot.com-
been reading . . . like your blog a lot. One complaint: the top graphic is linked to Photobucket. I recommend changing it to link to your front page, otherwise you lose people and they get frustrated.

If you are looking for words, you can try mine. I write mostly about what I learn from life as I live it. Most of my posts usually end in a question to keep you thinking. There are a few funny/witty posts in the "word play" category, but feel free to check it out:

Normally I'm not a big blogger.com fan but yours really has a cool aesthetic to it. Reading, thanks.

Well....Finally someone looking for words and not pics!!
I am sure mine qualifies as that! Try it when you have the time ...not the best personal blog i am sure (i am still learning) , but a yeah a candid , from the heart expression of what goes on in my life and my mind.

Anybody in this thread on Twitter?
I started another thread looking to find interesting "personal blog" style Twitterers . . . if you Twitter, do tell!

Rileycentral, you say you want a personal blog with lots of words? Check out mine! I just can't seem to restrain myself and my posts are long. And hopefully humorous as the situation is pretty weird. We're reliving our own episode of Green Acres, transitioning from City living to a 40 acre vineyard and organic farm in Sonoma. My blog is chronicling my move from marketing to farming. leftcoastcowboys.blogspot.com
It's going to be a long journey -- with lots of unexpected twists along the way -- which is why I'm trying to get it all down in Cyberspace. -

i would like to recommend, 4thavenueblues.blogspot.com
-
Y don't you try www.writinerary.com . Just to get an idea of it. -

www.robsellen.com is pretty personal, but... ;o) you decide.
As it's got words like you like, but IS it a blogger one??...doubt you would guess that though. ;o) What ya think? -
check out my personal blog:

My blogs are my diaries. captains-bridge.blogspot.com candleday.wordpress.com/
The diaries are kept in strict privacy, but we discover ourselves in the eyes of other, and thus the sharing of the diaries symbolizes the throwing of the masks of - the consciousness of our spirituality -
Try mine. www.writer1020.blogspot.com "The underside of honesty...an open journal."-
loved your last post, left you a comment

I'd highly recommend a personal, witty, opinionated, insightful blog about life with a mental illness:
catatonickid.wordpress.com/ -
Feeling immodest, I'll pitch mine in, too!
danomacnamarrah.blogspot.com/
Thanks for this discussion. It's opened my eyes to a lot of blogs that I might have missed. Nice job! -
Burns Bog is my favorite
Buttertubs Marsh is the runner up
And this appears to be a link drop thread that dates back to 9/21/07 -
Mines at least partly a personal blog: yogaforcynics.blogspot.com -
This thread has reminded me that I have gotten off the original path of where i wanted my blog to go. Yes, it's very personal right now, but I've been writing about 'right now in my life' as opposed to chronicaling my past as I originally meant to do. So if you visit, just start from the beginning, lol. Only my first few posts stuck to my purpose.
It's been hard finding the 'voice' I want to talk about my really twisted past. But thanks for the reminder to keep trying! I was actually about to give it up, lol. I do love to write and explore feelings and thoughts through text so there is plenty of that there. Not the best at all, but it meets your other criteria, lol.. wordy and personal. :-)
inmyredhead.blogspot.com/ -
well.. this isn't a personal life blog of mine.. but my personal travel blog... pautravels.blogspot.com
but here's my personal blog which I haven't updated much... pausoyu.blogspot.com -
