15 More Awesome Blogs for Bloggers to Bookmark

After I wrote my previous post on the 15 Essential Blogs for Bloggers to Bookmark, I realized (as a Academy award winning thank-you acceptance speaker realizes) that I really left off several other blogs that I think are ALSO awesome and should be bookmarked.

Truthfully, I did not forget these folks,  I just thought one blog post of 30 websites was a bit much.

So, I broke it up into bit size pieces of 15 each. So… on to those on this list.

Thank you all for your great contributions to the world of blogging.  I could not have been successful without you.  There are just so many to thank… Oh, wait, this is not an Academy Award speech….

But, seriously, this next list of people have contributed to my crazy blog rantings (mostly positive) at one point or another.

1. Write to Done

Write to Done is a minimalist blog created by Leo Babauta of Zen Habits and Mary Jaksch of Goodlife Zen. The focus of this blog is on writing and all aspects of it (similar to Inspired to Write). There are no ads and very few affiliate links to interfere with your reading experience.

2. Confident Writing

Joanna Paterson knows about words.  She understands the writing process and trying to have the confidence to bring those words to the page.   She brings her personal viewpoints to the site and also offers classes related to journal and reflective writing.

3. Daily Blog Tips

The author of this blog, Daniel Scocco, provides practical and daily blog tips.  The tips on this blog relate to blogging, blog design, and the latest on technology related to blogging and the internet.  Daniel also posts what is called “blogger Face-off” which two bloggers answer questions and give advice and the audience votes for a winner.

4. Lis Sowerbutts

If you want to know about earning passive income from a real source, you really need to check out Lis’s site.  She will give you plenty of resources and ideas of her own about making income online, specifically passively. Lis takes the honest, no bullshit approach which can be refreshing!

5.  John Chow

John has been around for a while in the dot com world. His blog is personal yet helpful for bloggers.  There are many posts about being successful as a blogger, making money, etc.  Having this veteran blogger’s site bookmarked is a given.

7.  Ink Rebels

This site is a more artistic blog, that is a a spin-off of of Bit Rebels, created by Richard Darell.

9.  SEOmoz.org

The site has tons of tools and tutorials for SEO Optimization.  They also provide consultations on SEO and speak a various events throughout the world.  SEOmoz is a complete business with a fully staffed team and truly are the experts in SEO.

10.  Ask Dave Taylor

Dave is more of a technical guru than a blogger per say.  But, I added his site in here because as a blogger, especially if you have a self-hosted blog, you will have some technical questions.  His site answers questions about web design (HTML and CSS),  SEO, and online advertising.

11. Blog Herald

I discovered this site more recently, but have found some valuable posts here.  Included in this are the topics covering blog news, information, reviews, tips, guides and commentary on blogs, the blogging industry, and bloggers worldwide.

Another long time blogger Kristeralla is a great blog because if the personal feel and the wide range of topics discussed.  Topics include Thesis Theme and WordPress, photography, graphics, web design, Christianity, blogging, computers, science, television, movies, music, and games.
