Lorelle has some interesting posts on splogs, too.

Just go to the Splogs part.

Here is a page with her posts on splogs.

But that page is also useful because of Copyright Law tips and other useful tidbits.

She has a page of “Stop Content Theft” buttons and badges you’re invited to lift and host, one of which I have in my sidebar.
