bloggers

Last week I started this really fun series, if you missed the first featured blogger you have to check out Amy Lynn Andrews. In this series I’m sharing some of the great blogs and bloggers on the internet that you should really follow. Especially if you are learning and striving to become a blogger. I recommend not only following their blogs but also check out their other networking profiles.

Nicholas Cardot

I was already to feature another blogger this week when Nicholas popped up  and was chatting with me on twitter about all things potty training. This is a great example of how to endure your readers to you, chat with them about more than you niche, chat with them about the everyday! To show that I appreciated the little chat I put off then scheduled post and bumped him up in my list. Yes Nicholas was already on the list!

Nicholas Cardot is the founder of the great blog Site Sketch 101.

 I want to take my years of experience and pour them out so every one of you who has a desire to create amazing, appealing websites or blogs for your church, charity, business or self can get it done. – The Vision and Focus of Site Sketch 101

Nicholas is truly someone I look up to for his inspirational encouragement to bloggers to not let their blogs be mediocre but also to look at them as a piece of art that they are creating. He wants to help you make your blog appealing to your visitors.

Amy Lynn Andrews

I’ve been reading Amy’s blog Blogging with Amy for over a year now. I love her voice and the simple way she explains everything.

This is a great place to visit if you want to learn more about blogging and the technical side of blogging.

One of the features I love on her site, especially for beginners, is that she shares a lot of her tips on video. If you are a visual person you will want to make sure and subscribe to her blog and Youtube channel!

The goal of BloggingWithAmy.com: To cover every major aspect of building a successful, smooth-running, money-making, self-hosted WordPress(.org) blog from the ground up. A step-by-step guide for beginners, a fill-in-the-gaps guide for pros. – About Blogging with Amy

 

You may be surprised to be finding me recommending a blog that is within my own niche of helping beginners improve their blogs. But I believe that to help you become the best blogger possible you should have multiple resources for information and tips.
