With the ratio of blogger to CAD user nearing 1:1, it’s no wonder someone offers a service that ranks blogs. I got wind of one such service (blogged.com) when they sent me an award for CAD Insider and an 8.4 rating. That means "great" according to their rating system. Whew! I’m glad I had a few recent posts up, as that is one of their criteria.

Their criteria also includes "relevance of content, site design, and writing style." The judges are not named on the site but site claims "strong domain knowledge." CAD Insider was listed among technology blogs and there are about 10 pages of tech blogs with better ratings. I would have thought engineering would be better. I don’t really expect CAD to exist as a category when it caters to the entire universe of subjects.

A search on "CAD" did yield a few other CAD blogs (SolidWorks Community got the highst rating with 8.9, Jeff’s Blog, also about SolidWorks, was 2nd. I recognized BLAUGI (by the Autodesk international user group, 8.0 and Mistress of Dorkness, about AutoCAD, with 7.8. WorldCAD Access is listed, as are several other CAD blogs, but not rated.

Anyway, thanks to Blogged.com. It’s always nice to get a good review. However, there’s a whole lotta CAD blogs better than this one, so I hope their authors read this and submit their sites to this service.
