                Lots of different ways.

                • reposts
                • sourcing from other sites.
                • reading popular blog archives.

                    Thanks for an answer :)

                    What would 2 and 3 be? Like blogs they are popular now and going back?

                        For #2, there are multiple websites that deal with similar subjects. Pull good links from one and paste to another.

                        For #3, you are correct. Also, reading other blog posts on a linked blog.

                      The search function on the side is pretty decent, and clicking on the sourced link of a post shows you all the other times it was posted.
