Blogtipping — December ’07

December 1st, 2007 · 3 Comments · Community

Picture_5_1 I am joining with my fellow bloggers in celebrating some new blogs that I enjoyed this past month. 

As is the blogtipping tradition, (created by Easton Ellsworth) I’ll offer a few reasons why I like the blog and one suggestion for improvement.

This month’s nods go to….

The Kiss Business Too is a very funny and very smart blog about business and doing it better by keeping it simple.

Things I love:

  • The humor in the posts.
  • Lots of outbound links, introducing us to other great blogs.
  • The writing style is very approachable and comfortable.

Suggestion: 

  • Add a search function so your readers can dig deeper into your content.

Young Entrepreneur was founded by two brothers, Matthew and Adam Toren. The focus is very tight — as the name suggests, entrepreneurs.  Within that framework though, they cover a wide range of topics.

Things I love:

  • The diversity of your posts/topics.
  • How you include other experts through interviews.
  • Nice use of multiple authors.

Suggestion:

  • Maybe it’s just me and the fact that I am not that young anymore…but dang, your font is small!

Strategize is Ross Hollman’s blog on business strategizing.  But it actually spans a bit broader than that, covering many aspects of business.

Things I love:

  • Nice, clean layout.
  • Good use of visuals, video and examples.
  • Readers get a very good sense of you in every post.

Suggestion:

  • How about using tools like MyBlogLog and The Good Blogs to build an even bigger community?

There you have it discerning readers…until next month’s blogtipping adventure!

    Hi Drew

    Pleasantly surprised and honoured to be in your December list!
    All your compliments mean a lot to a double Dutch English writer ;-)

    Will look into a search-function and place it next – under – my links to the indexes. Always willing to learn and approve things.

    Karin,

    LOL! No worries. I type that way and English is NOT my second language!

    Your blog is an excellent resource — thanks for all of your efforts in sharing your knowledge.

    Drew
