Here comes another last minute post heading in to Friday, I was hoping that I would finish up earlier last night so I would have this post out the door at midnight. There really isn’t too much I can do about it now, instead of focusing on what I would have liked to occur let’s switch focus to what I would like to occur. Those of you that come through here for my mashup posts on Sunday’s or that subscribe to my rss feed know I like giving out a little link luv from time to time, I do it as a way to thank those fellow bloggers that post quality and helpful blogging tips.
It’s been a hot minute since I did my weekly mashup and showed some luv, so I decided to put this post together that includes links to some of my favorite blogs. I currently subscribe to over 100 blogs, many of which I found thanks to those bloggers that took the time to leave a comment here on my blog, you know a little U Comment I Follow stuff that goes on between bloggers.
Anyway, in addition to the list of great blogs below I would like to hear what blog you enjoy. After you read my post take a second to leave a comment to a blog that you would recommend for me to read or other newbie bloggers to check out, please don’t recommend blogs that are already on my list and don’t try linking to any crazy pill spam sites or free porn site stuff. I’ve already seen enough of it.
A Few of My Favorite Blogs
Pot Politics
This is the fire starter right here. Pot Politics a blog powered by John Sullivan was the blog that I first read that made it click, I liked the fact that John shoots straight from heart and never pulls any punches. After he’s done shooting straight from the heart he drops some of the best creative blog tips I have seen anywhere and he’s also the madman that got me started on the hole Do Follow blog kick. Oh yeah, before I close the door and move on to the next one…. You haven’t seen social media and a blogger that does more for the community than John does, check out his most recent post “What’s Next?”
Kikolani
Kristi the incredibly talented blogger behind Kikolani inspired me to write my “Sunday Smash” series, which I never really did as a way to show link luv to other bloggers. I really just liked the idea of putting together lists of links to what I felt were the best articles in my reader from the previous week, I never had a clue it would set off the networking between this blog and other blogs the way that it did. Kristi writes a much better weekly mashup in her Fetching Friday series (the one that inspired me) then I do with my Sunday Smash, she’s one of the best if not the best at researching her articles before she writes them. Check out Kristi’s latest Fetching Friday Resources Mashup.
Shout Me Loud
Thanks to reading Shout Me Loud a blog with a consistent flow of updates I found excellent tools like Hoot Suite, which is not only a Twitter tool that makes my typical everyday tweeting life more pleasent, but a tool that we have quickly implemented across our network of business sites. Harsh has plenty of gold in the gold mine, stop by and check out his latest post Twitter Introduces New Feature Hover Effect: Hover Cards.
I will be dropping another post here soon that features 12 of my favorite blogs and why I read them, hopefully you found one of the excellent blogs above useful.
Now don’t forget to leave a comment to one of your favorite blogs and why you would recommend this blog to others, if you get all spammy or try anything to be crafty I’ll just toss your comment in the spam bin.

Hey John!
I recommend a blog from a 16 year old entrepreneur out of New York. He’s already had national attention for making big bucks as a 15 year old “best seller” on ebay and most recently he organized a contest for the best idea to Help Haiti and ended up raising a bunch of cash for a great cause.
If this kid is this talented at 16, he could very well be the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or whatever the future holds for Internet Entrpreneurs.
Check out my buddy Ben Lang over at http://www.ben-lang.com and you can check him out on Twitter at @entrepreneurpro
This kid is destined for great things and just think – you can say “I knew him when…”
Check out http://www.ben-lang.com !
Thanks John!

Allyn from http://bloggerillustrated.net has a great site with quality articles and always plenty of conversation in the comments.
I really like the way you changed up the “list” post to writing descriptions and paragraphs instead of just a list. I have been trying to do this on my site as well….

I love a special interest blog called Elder Care ABC. Obviously not for everyone, but since my dad just turned 80 and is moving in with us when our home is built, I find it very useful.
Also Man vs Debt is fun, if you’re into living a debt-free life.

John Sullivan >>@ Extreme John Thanks again man it’s cool to see the comments come in and just proves two things. No matter what you do for people some won’t like you no matter what and some people are scared off by our images but if they wake up they may find their next best REAL friend. Also as a sidenote you can tell what the people… that do like me have in common and vice versa but I will keep it NICE

I love the recommend a blog idea. That’s a pretty good idea, sir. That’s why you’re the master.
There are about 50 blogs that I follow regularly. Extreme John, you are a daily stop for sure. Another daily stop is E-Mails From an Asshole. The link is: http://www.dontevenreply.com/index.php

I’m a little biased but I want to recommend my daughter’s blog http://thebondgurl.com
She puts a ton of work into producing weekly videos and they’re getting funnier every week. She also does a great job of explaining all of the financial mumbo-jumbo we don’t listen to on the news but when it comes to videos – she RULES!
I love Pot Politics and Kristie’s Kikolani is absolutely one of the best blogs I’ve ever visited. I found her blog before I joined Blog Engage and I was delighted to see that she was already a member when I got there. I’m going go spend some time over at Shoutmeloud real soon.
In the meantime I think BloggerLuv is calling me. EJ do you hear it too??
Peace!
