I am proud to present the best blogs of 2013. There are no awards, certificates or rankings.
They are just typed here in no particular order. However, they are all current blogs (I hate dead blogs! They are sad, outdated and sometimes wrong. It’s like the person just went off and left without taking their stuff with them) and they are all blogs I read and learn from.
The world of blogging is becoming commercialized. I am not talking about bloggers trying to pay for hosting, supplies and perhaps being compensated a bit for their time. I’m talking about companies owning different blogs in different niches.
Companies snatch up successful blogs to try and cash in when bloggers become burnt out, are tired of keeping up a website, or just can not afford to blog any more. It is sorta like the conglomerates taking over the farms. This is especially true when you encounter blogs that have more than one author or are the type of blog that gathers blog posts from other sources and really do not write their own content.
In any case, you have got to know who is writing what you are reading before you give them your trust. I know a lot of these ;bloggers (but not all) and talk to them outside of their blog. No, they are not listed because they are my friends, well, maybe that is not entirely true. They are listed in part because I know the blogger and I know the information is reliable. But rest assured, if my a friend of mine has a blog I do not read and learn from it is not listed. The bloggers I do not know personally I have followed for sometime and have a respect for their writing. Even though I might not agree with all the people on this list (friend or not) all the time I am confident they are genuine in their opinions and knowledge.
