(Aside, of course, from Moby-Dick.)

The Edge of the American West.  This is how you write a history blog.  The writers subtly connect historical events (miners’ strikes! people taking pot-shots at Teddy Roosevelt!) with today, with a healthy dose of humor.

Kottke.org.  An old-school weblog.  Things of interest, entertainingly presented.

Excellent examples of good blog-writery.  Notice, please, that neither are written by high school English teachers.

(Honors Am Lit I students–please feel free to play around with these models.)
