That's not correct. To find blogs, they use a number of existing
blog indices, including Weblogs.com and the Blogger update page.
So eventually all Blogger blogs should be included in the census.

In *addition* to this, they also use a crawler.

Their methodology, including a list of their sources are freely
available at <URL: http://www.blogcensus.net/?page=Methodology >.
