Memoirs of an English Major

With this week being one of new content and new ideas, I felt it was best if I started with some midday content. I’m going to make this a regular element of the blog. As it is early in the day, it make sense to keep this light and to the point. We’ll start this slow with some lists, then build up with more content and work from there.

These days, I’m not just an avid blogger, but also an avid reader of them, drawing different inspirations from each of them on various levels, from professional to personal. Though I have a couple top ones that I could not live without.

• (Problogger): Trying to become a pro blogger is extremely tough. Finding a niche market, running ads, and generally doing whatever sticks. But with a resource like Problogger there are plenty of tips, tricks, and even some links. It’s well worth the read
• (Web Work Daily) : In the same vein as the previous, this blog concentrates on tips and links that can help both current a future web workers venture into this new way of working, one I hope to enter soon. The site is a great resource that I have linked to before, but it has alot more than what I have touched on.
• (Hacker News): Not necessarily a blog, but a great link to other ones. It’s a correlation of various posts and links to other blogs, some of which I would suggest to read

2Those are a few of my favorite blogs, though there are plenty others, but these are ones I can’t start a day without reading, commenting on, and keep up with in order to break in and stay there. Perhaps these too will help you find your writing spirit, as it has invigorating mine.
