What is YOUR Favorite Blog?

Do you have a blog that you read regularly?

One of my favorite parts of being a blogger and blogging as my job is getting to know other bloggers. I have met some of the most interesting people who I know through blogging, reading their blogs, and interacting in their communities. There are so many writing styles, personalities and ideas flowing around the blogging world that it is incredibly inspiring to see new blogs.

When I decided to start seriously blogging – to become a professional blogger – I knew there was a wealth of information that I didn’t know. Analyzing other successful blogs has given me what I feel is a pretty solid base. I may not ever be as successful or popular as some of the blogs that I’ve studied, but I think I’ve been able to learn something from each and every one of them.

I’ve blogged in one form or another since 2000, although usually it was more online journaling than keeping a blog that anyone else outside of my friend matrix would want to read. In the beginning, the most exciting posts I wrote were about the Cake concert I attended in Indianapolis and some really bad poetry that would’ve made ears bleed at an open mic night. But over time I have evolved as a person and my writing and blogging styles have evolved too. Consider yourself lucky!

The great thing about the blogging world is that there are so many people with different ideas and it is constantly changing – I think I enjoy that part the most. With so many new blogs starting every day, so many niche blogs I’ve yet to discover, I know there’s always a blog I would love that I have yet to see.

That’s why I need your help – I want to know your top 1 or 2 blogs to read. I know your blog is awesome, but you get extra points for recommending a blog that you don’t write. So please – let me know, what is your favorite blog to read?
