Bloggers I am Thankful For and Why!

January 9, 2011 in Blogging with 17 Comments

Tentblogger John Saddington has started posting what he is calling Blog Post Jump Starters. This is the second one that he has done and I am going to try to do as many of these as I possibly can. It is a great idea, and I am excited about other topics that he may have in store for his readers in the future.

The latest Blog Post Jump Starter called for readers to tell of the bloggers that they are thankful for, and why they are thankful for them. I read a lot of blogs and I am thankful for a lot of the material they all blog about on a daily basis. To name them all would be one of those never ending posts. I am thankful for all of the blogs that I follow and they are all special in their own way.

If I had to narrow it down to a few that I read that I could not do without it would have to be those that follow. They are all great and I would suggest you to follow them as well if you do not already.

Tentblogger – John Saddington has started a great community of bloggers. He is continually posting great informative content that is easy to understand. If you are a beginning or experienced blogger, everyone can benefit from reading his blog.

Stuff Christians Like – Jon Acuff blogs about how funny us as Christians can make ourselves look. His posts are extremely funny, yet completely honest at the same time. He alson does a serious posts every Wednesday that are great. It is cool how he can just change gears mid-week like that and still bring great useful content.

Bryan Allain – I started following Bryan about a year ago and he is one of the funniest people on the internet. If you like humor you will definitly like Bryan.

Our Marriage Project – I started following this blog about six months ago when I stumbled across it. Kyle and Jen who write this blog after getting married decided to blog every day through their first year of marraige. I think that this is a brilliant idea. They are constantly producing great content. If you are a married/ or not you will be able to enjoy their writing.

Michael Hyatt – Michael Hyatt is the CEO of Thomas Nelson and blogs about leadership as well as a post on blogging every now and then. He is a great writer that really understands how to combine blogging with business.

Aliens and Strangers – This blog is put together by Brett Harrison who is a missionary in Tanzania. He blogs regularly about his life and thoughts on faith. Good stuff!

Michael Perkins – Great blogger who is on his way to the top!

Cycle Guy’s Spin – Great stuff on a daily basis! A real treat!

Shooting the Breeze – Great writer. Love reading his stuff!

Ragamuffin Soul – Carlos Whittaker’s blog. Alway has great stuff and good questions.

ProBlogger – I don’t think I need to explain this one…

So there are some of the top blogs that fill up my Google Reader that I find myself reading the most.

What blogs do you read that I should add to my reader?

I appreciate that Adam more than I can express. Mohan37′s is really good. You mentioned a lot that I read all the time. I think that @jim4man’s and @b-rewster’s blogs are really good too.

WOW Adam! I am honored and humbled (can those both exist together?) that would include me in this list. I would also include ServingStrong.com by Scott Cochenour and Soufari.blogspot.com by Jay Cookingham. There are so many more I would recommend but don’t want to take up too much space. Thanks again for the mention. BTW: Yours should also be included.
