As many of you know, we were participating in the Newbie Blogger Initiative that was being hosted by Sypster he was kind enough to create a massive list of all the new blogs and the informational posts that the veteran bloggers posted in one spot for us all. Thinking about starting a blog? You should check out the bottom links. Looking for new blogs to read? Check out the top links!
This is it! The final NBI link-love list that I’ll be putting out this month. I promised NBI participants and interested onlookers that I’d be compiling all of the new (and newish/undiscovered) blogs that have emerged this month, as well as all of the terrific advice that seasoned bloggers gave.
