Newbie goodies – week 1

by Heidi on May 14, 2008

So i’m always trying to find new bloggers to read. New websites to add to my google readers and new social networking sites. I scour people’s blog rolls looking for other bloggers who sound interesting…and I come across a lot of good ones (of course my freaders would have awesome taste in bloggers … they read me after all right?)

My Google reader? Has gotten kind of ridic. Unfortunately, I can’t add all these awesome people to my blogroll, which is ALREADY out of control and super long. So I’m going to share new and exciting blogs with you guys each week from here on out.

Also, since I think most of you gals (sorry dudes I’m leaving you all high and dry on this one…) are awesome bloggers, I found this site through Chic and Charming …. Girls Guide to Blogging! (Go join/check it out!)

Other sites I’ve been loving lately?

Broke and Beautiful – within minutes of checking out her site (which i found on GGtoB fyi) I found no fewer than FIVE pairs of shoes that I wanted to go out to buy. She shows awesome deals, has great style and amazing advice. Go check her out!

Chic and Charming – She always posts the awesomest stuff from online blogging tips, to fashion and she loves Gossip Girl as much as I do!! :)

Keep up with me – not only is this girl based in DC but she’s smart too! She has great thoughts on fitness, life and often shares her thoughts not only on her blog, but also cross posts to BlogHer. Also, i’ve seen her quoted in the Express!

In the coming days, I’m going to revamp the blogroll and try to put a separate page on the blog with all the pages I read perhaps alphabetically, or perhaps by topic….we’ll see :) Either way, Happy reading!

What are YOUR favorite blogs as of lately???

    Ahh! I love this question. I’m always searching for new ones to read too- so I will be definitely looking into yours (though I know about Chic and Charming and agree with your assessment!). My favs? (I don’t know how to do the linky thing in comments so I’m going to just post the names. All of them are found in my ‘links’ category on my blog)
    - Skrinkering Hearts
    - I don’t think it’s going to rain
    - Dooce
    - E.B’s world
    - Cleveland’s a plum (she’s “Alexa” in my comments- I haven’t updated my links yet!)
    - Justrun
    - The Lisa Show

    I could go on and on and on now that I started but these are a few of my favorites that have written really great stuff.

    Also- I just noticed that about 96% of them are in your sidebar- it would appear we have very similar taste!

    You’re so sweet, Heidi! Thanks for the shout-out. I added you to my Google Reader once I discovered your site, too, so the admiration is mutual. (And yes, it’s always nice being quoted in the Express — it’s kinda fun to have your own name staring back at you when you read the morning paper on your way to work!) :)

    I definitely read way too many blogs so I have them all on Bloglines rather than having them on my blogroll. It’s not really helpful for other people to find blogs through mine, but it saves time going through everyone’s blogs to see if they’ve posted. I’m excited for your new blogs because I’m always looking for new ones to read but don’t have time to search new ones out.

    Ooh, I love discovering new blogs too. My reader is out of control too but it’s nice to have so many good things to read.

    My life has become ridiculously easier since I separated all of my blogs by places, not only on my blog roll but also in Google Reader :)

    Ditto on the reader being OC! But the reader is also a major lifesaver.

    Thanks for posting these, I’m checking them out right now!
