Armchair BEA 2011 - Blogging About Blogging

For the last day of Armchair BEA we are talking about blogging. This isn't my only blog, I also blog at http://callistasramblings.blogspot.com. I've been more serious over there lately and working on that one more and will be purchasing my own domain and probably moving to wordpress soon. I've been doing lots of reading about blogging and I wanted to share the blogs/websites that I subscribe to, to keep me on top of the blogging world. If you are aspiring to have your blog more professional, you will want to check these out. Even if you aren't, many of the sites have posts about basic blogging too.

After each blog I feature a post or two I enjoyed.

Yes to the WordPress idea! I love WordPress because that's where my blog is. I felt really lucky when Blogger went down for a couple of days and WordPress wasn't experiencing any problems.
