I've used Google's blog search and Technorati to look for blogs, but I've found that the best way to find blogs of interest to me is through other blogs.
For example, a few years ago I started following librarian.net and Tame the Web. These led me to the Librarian in Black and the Shifted Librarian, which in turn led me to Library Bytes and so on, and so on. With work-related blogs, I am a pretty harsh critic. If a blog doesn't have posts of interest to me for 2 or 3 weeks in a row, I usually delete them from my feed. There are about 10-15 I've followed for a long time and a rotating cast of 10-15 others.
Right now, here's a snapshot of my Reader (the number in the parentheses is the number of posts that I haven't looked at yet):

Really, Heather, kind of a one track mind on the RSS feeds there.
Ah, Jessamyn is everywhere. She's an amazing human being, for sure. My husband Nat (she knows him as Tex) went to Hampshire College with her and they were roommates in Seattle for a while. Hope to see her when we go to New England in the Fall. EPL should try to get her to speak here sometime.
