Cream Of The Crop Blogs About Blogging

When I open up my FeedReader, it is not that uncommon to come across over 1,000 items or more that need to be read. I don’t have the time to read all of those items which is why I either share the link in my link blog to come back to later and to share with others or, I’ll write a blurb about the post and publish it on a blog. At any rate, I figure that the list of blogs I am subscribed to that deals with blogging would make for a good resource of links for your own feedreader. Thus, here is the list of blogs about blogging that I am subscribed to.

Blogging Tips – What can I say? Kevin Muldoon has a history of success and Blogging Tips is no exception. Every day of the week there are new tips, reviews, or conversation pieces published onto the site. Of course, some of that success can be attributed to the sites other contributors.

Blogosphere News (Published News Items) – Splashpress has their own Digg like social site that serves more as a central repository of what is going on within the Splashpress network than anything else. If I miss something on one of the other Splashpress owned sites, I usually catch it here.

This is the grand daddy of all blogging contest blogs. Be sure to read their content to make sure you don’t screw yourself when participating in a contest.

  1. 400 blogs… but what about blog x? You can’t leave out blog x!? Yeah, any time you create a list, there are always things left out, but that’s part of the fun of lists, as if they were all inclusive, they wouldn’t be helpful for any certain group of people.

  2. I feel for you Jeff. Leave out a few blogs and the worlds against you 😉

    I bet you your follow up post lists about 400 blogs!!!

  3. The BlogHerald, Problogger Blog Tips and The Blog Bloke are all within a folder called Performancing Must Read as those are the blogs which influence my mind the most and are most likely to get me started on a post.

  4. Yeah, I am definitely subscribed to Problogger.net It’s just that, as with Xfep, it was in a different folder. I think I’ll create a follow up post which contains a list of blogs about blogging that were suggestions by the people who comment here. Problogger and Xfep will definitely make the next list. Thanks for stopping by Kevin and keep up the great work.

  5. Thanks for the kind words. You’re 100% right, a huge part of the success of BloggingTips is down to the blogs weekly authors.

    From the list I would say that BloggerTalks has been one of the surprises lately. It wasn’t updated for a long time but they brought it back this year and it has done well.

    Also, no ProBlogger.net?

    Kevin

    * Yeah get Xfep.com on there too!

  6. LOL. I’m subscribed to your blog but I think I have it organized in a different folder under blogs that I enjoy. I have my RSS feedreader organized in different folders and there are a few blogs which I could of mentioned but didn’t because they were outside of that folder. But Xfep would make for a nice addition

  7. Yeah, OPML is good stuff, especially when it is filled with awesome sites. It helps if it is organized as well.
