Another excellent resource is The Weblogs Compendium. Here you will find everything you need to know about weblogs/blogs: hosting services, tools, directories, definitions, RSS readers and resources...

The Compendium is owned and operated by Peter Scott, who is a consultant with Northern Lights Internet Solutions. Peter also maintains 1) Publishers' Catalogues - an index listing book publishers, 2) Libdex - an index listing libraries, 3) allrecordlabels.com - record labels worldwide, 4) Library Weblogs - by and for librarians and 5) Peter Scott's Library Blog - a service from xrefer.com

Peter has been involved with the Internet for many years and his sites offer extremely high quality and competent resources. I have also just updated my May 2003 column Blogs Blogs and More Blogs to reflect Peter Scott's The Weblogs Compendium resource.
