Blogs I recommend
Wardman Wire
This one presented me with something of a problem since it is decently written, has a nice balance of short jokey posts and longer thoughtful pieces yet somehow it irritated me immensely. It wasn't the vague feeling that it was only for the retired colonel Daily Telegraph readers (although they'll probably like it rather more than your tofu munching plastic sandaled Guardian readers) and it has an admirable article comparing the BBC (yeah!) and Sky (Boo!) for which he deserves extra credit for his tolerant response to the moron who describes Fox News as having "a freshingly honest outlook to news reporting.
After some considerable time and effort my conclusion is that it is the layout that irritates me - I use a fairly huge wide screen display and the layout means that the content is scrunched up in the left hand quarter of my screen with another quarter devoted to two columns of links and the rest of my display entirely blank.
No list of Blogpower blogs so far as I can see (I am occasionally blind)

Your review of my blog
I just spotted your review. Thanks for spending the time.
For information, I do now carry a full blogpower list of links (I think) - back then I was still searching for a listing in opml.
I love your "Telegraph" vs "Guardian" comment. It's in the ballpark, but I'm hoping that there are rather more young free-marketers than you imply. Do you mind if I quote that?
On the layout, I chose to go with 2 sidebars on the right because I just don't like layouts with one either side (sorry) - imho that is not good for users as their eyes have to flit around looking for things too much. I would accept that my sidebars need an autumn clean. The layout is actually a touch too wide - I was aiming for 1024 wide screens and didn't allow enough for the scrollbars etc. I could follow your style and have an elastic content column, I suppose. Hmmm.
I mirror some of my content on mattwardman.co.uk, which is less cluttered - but probably still too narrow for you.
Delighted to be immensely irritating - it makes life worthwhile.
