13/08: In My Bloglines This Week

I know I said I'd publish this over the weekend but life interfered so I'm bringing you the highlights of some of the blogs currently to be found in my Bloglines in the past few weeks, a couple of days later than expected.

These blogs are all worth looking into for any blogger,regardless of what you blog about. I haven't included any major names because,well, you probably know all about them already.

One of my most recent additions is the Fantastic Site of Lord Matt, a UK blogger who writes about all sorts of things including blogging, SEO, making money, affiliate marketing and more. He gets the first plug because, like me, he blogs using the NucleusCMS platform and there aren't many of us around! Pay Matt a visit, there is much to learn at his blog - it's not all about looking regal in a top hat!

Also due a mention is the bovine blog at JohnCow.com who recently caused a bit of a stir with their phony lawsuit post - shutting down their site for a day after breaking the news that they were being sued for "copyright infringements". It all turned out to be rather convoluted bit of linkbaiting but it had a lot of people going, including me, I admit it. I'm glad it turned out to be a hoax, because it is currently one of my favorite reads.

While on the subject of cows I should also mention a special hosting promotion going on at FatCow.com who are currently offering a whopping $33 off of your initial purchase of their $99 hosting plan. Click the graphic for more information about getting moo for your money at Fat Cow.

Moving away from our four legged friends and back to blogging, I would recommend to everyone who doesn't read it already, the very useful 5Star Affiliate Marketing Blog and their forums that reside permanently in my RSS reader for the simple reason that they deliver some great information for anyone blogging for profit as well as love. This article about 100 ways to make money online is a case in point.

Other honorable mentions this month go to the RSS Newsniche Blog which delivers really good information about the world of RSS and has become an excellent point of reference for me. I think you will find it very useful too, however experienced you may or may not be with RSS feeds.

The next blogs will be of particular interest to Wordpress bloggers as they cater to the quest for Wordpress knowledge. The first has been stored in my Bloglines for quite a while now and is one of the best blogs about WP that you will find -  The Optiniche blog makes for an excellent resource on blogging with Wordpress and also offers sound advice on niche blogging and monetization. In addition you may also like to have a look at a newer kid on the block in the blogging about Wordpress arena at the promising Wordpress Max blog, recently discovered via Bumpzee, as was the very useful BigBucksBlogger site, another WP oriented site that I have mentioned before on these pages, with well written articles about both Wordpress and blogging as a whole. You will also find some useful Wordpress plugins at all of these places too.

There are of course countless other sites and I do intend to mention more of them in the days ahead, but that concludes this month's precis of what is being read via the Cayman Host's RSS reader this month. Many of my recent discoveries have come via my membership of a couple of communities at Bumpzee and if you would like to find out more, why not come and visit us, at the DoFollow/IFollow/NoNoFollow community, which encompasses several of the blogs mentioned in this post.
