New Writers Remind Us Why We Blog
April 30, 2008 – 5:33 amI just got through taking a first glance at some of this year’s Best New Blog nominees and if ever there was a category that is going to require some major input from all our judges this is it. As judges we each have our favorite types of blogs, but overall this is the one we get most psyched about. One reason behind the buzz for this category is the excitement that just pours off the page. By now most of us have been doing the blog thing for several years and the newness has long ago worn off. These new bloggers though bring so much passion and fun to their blogs you can just see them typing three hundred words a minute as they try their best to keep up with the ideas running down their spines and out their fingertips. Not only is it contagious, as judges it makes us remember why we love to blog so much ourselves. Before this year’s BoB’s kicked off back in March I was only blogging a couple times a week. Now I’m back to posting everyday. Here are just a few examples of some of this year’s newest members to the blogging community:
See what I mean? You can practically hear the keys typing as you read their latest posts. Well that’s all I’ve got today, check back tomorrow as I take a trip overseas and don’t forget about out Lijit Contest. You won’t believe the great prizes we will be giving away
