Kagi Small Web has about 32K sites and I'd like to think that we have captured most of (english speaking) personal blogs out there (we are adding about 10 per day and a significant effort went into discovering/fidning them).
It is kind of sad that the entire size of this small web is only 30k sites these days.
Suspect there's a long tail/iceberg you still haven't captured (source: you haven't found me yet and I'm not hiding, I'm just not chasing SEO).
I am happy to hear this.
What methods are you using to find them? I notice my own doesn't appear, although it does show up well under some (very niche) Google search terms. I suspect there's the potential for an order of magnitude more sites than have been found.
Does this concept of "personal blog" include people periodically sharing, say, random knowledge on technical topics? Or is it specifically people writing about their day-to-day lives?
How would I check if my site is included?
You can check: <https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb/blob/main/smallweb.tx...>. I can see that your RSS URL is listed there.
But it currently does not appear in the search results here: <https://kagi.com/smallweb/?search=zahlman>. The reason appears to be this:
"If the blog is included in small web feed list (which means it has content in English, it is informational/educational by nature and it is not trying to sell anything) we check for these two things to show it on the site: • Blog has recent posts (<7 days old) [...]"

I think that's naive.
But maybe thats just because my blog wasn't on the list :)
Neither is mine, But that's fine with me.
Does this use frames or iframe? https://kagi.com/smallweb
I would expect a raw link in the top bar to the page shown, to be able to bookmark it etc.
There is a '↗'-shaped icon in the navigation bar at the top. If you click on that it takes you to the original post in a new tab. On Firefox and Safari, you can also right click that icon and add the original post to the bookmarks.
I'm noticing sites that break the rules. I report (flag) them, is that useful or should I just PR to remove them?
PR is better!
