8 Great New Blogs on Blogging
Since I’ve been away for the past few weeks, you’ve probably been visiting some other blogs in my absence. Hey, I don’t blame you…there are some great new blogs out there. But sometimes the good NEW blogs are not easy to find. So I decided to do a little research on blogs that blog about blogging!
Before I share my list of favorites with you, let me say that not all of these blogs focus entirely on blogging. Several cover the broadly covered “making money online” topics and some post about a variety of other topics as well. My very loose criteria for this list is that the blog must regularly post about blogging or topics important to bloggers. The only other criteria was that the blog had to have been around for less then one year. This is a list of best NEW blogs on blogging, not just a list of the best blogs. So let’s get started…
Search for Blogging - Mert Erkal from Turkey is looking to leave his 9-5 marketing job and join the very small world of self-supporting bloggers. Mert shares with his readers his own thoughts on blogging and a few updates on his own progress toward becoming a full-time blogger. Click on the articles tab and you will find some of the best material available on this site. This blog has been around for just under a year.

Better Blogging for Bloggers - This very new blog is an easy addition to the list. Despite the couple design bugs, this blog is all about content. I highly recommend dropping by Liane’s blog and reading some great advice for beginning and seasoned bloggers. By the way, you may be surprised to find that this blog is hosted on a Google Blogspot site since the theme has been highly customized.

Blogging Resources - Here’s another blog that’s been around for just a few months but is already off to a great start. The theme is one of my favorite free themes, the WP Premium Theme by WP Remix (Blogger Version). The author, Pradeep, demonstrates solid Internet experience with posts on topics such as whitehat SEO and RSS feed building.

JT Pratt’s Blogging Mistakes - How can you not like a blog that teaches you blogging by sharing the blogger’s own blunders? Well, if JT has made some blogging errors, poor content is not one of them. I really like the detailed advice and recommendations that JT gives on everything from building a BANs website to hacking WordPress. The blog does seem a bit cluttered with lots of ads and hard to read post headings, but this is definitely a blog you should check out.

Butterfly Media Corporate Blog - This is a business blog that covers just about everything related to web media publishing. The information is top quality with some great resources and brief tutorials. This is also one of the best looking blogs on this list; a clean design with great navigation and minimal advertising. The blog has been around since last August, and I certainly hope is will be with us for a long time. Recommended Reading: RSS Syndication - A Quick Tutorial.
Blogger Venue - This blog has a little bit of everything. The blog is published using the wonderfully attractive Options Theme by Justin Tadlock and the writing is conversational and interesting. Hugo Santos, the blog owner has done a great job of creating an excellent blog that touches on a variety of topics related to blogging and making money online.

Zero And Up - This is one of my favorite new blogs. Zero and Up, written by a chap named Alan, is a wonderful blog with content added almost daily. Most articles are short, but very well written and great for new bloggers. I really like the custom theme that Alan commissioned. Advertising is nicely integrated and don’t distract from the content. This blog was started in February 2008. Recommended Reading: The Blogger Condition.
One Year Millionaire - Okay, I’m not a big fan of the “get rich quick” motif of this site (or others like it), but I have to say, the content is worth reading. I haven’t found any cutting edge opinion or breaking news on the blog, but the posts do make some solid recommendations for bloggers and Internet entrepreneurs. The owner has done a nice job modifying the K2 theme. This is a very new site started in March 2008. Recommended Reading: The Most Common Internet Marketing Mistakes.
BTW, I’m always looking for great new blogs to write about. If you have a new blog, or find one you like, leave me a comment or drop me an email. It doesn’t need to be a blog about blogging. It can be about anything. I will be posting more lists like this one in the future.

Whenever i can i will reply the cortesy Thank you for the kind words, and for including my blog in your list. I am doing my best to keep my readers informed about everything I find interesting or useful on the web. Or in my activity.
Hey Jim thanks for visiting my Blog and I am sure glad u like my blog and included it in your 8 great new blog list even though m 3rd on the list but its a great honor for new blogger to get listed in such list
I made it to the list? Cool! My blog “Better Blogging for Bloggers (http://betterbloggingforbloggers.blogspot.com/) indeed is hosted on blogspot. But then, with the busy lifestyle that I’m having (and with summer’s over) it’s much more okay for me to settle down for a while with the free platform.

Thanks the mention Jim. Really appreciate it. =D
Thanks, Jim for the list. Of all the above, I’m only following ‘One Year Millionaire’ but I’ll be checking out the rest.
I’m the new kid on the block myself and I’ll like to see how other new bloggers are doing. The truth is my motivation and inspiration comes from both their successes and mistakes.
Oh it’s nice of you, Jim. I’m kind of flattered by your response.
It’s hard to manage a new blog and it’s even harder for a new blogger, if you know what I mean. But I really enjoy every minute of it.
Jim, if you do have anything you think I could do better, feel free to let me know your thoughts.
