5 Top Quality Sites for Bloggers

1. SheGeeks - Corvida gives you info straight-up, no fluff, only "awesomesauce." She has turned me on to several applications that I was able to apply immediately to one or more of my sites, and she's always willing to offer her opinion/advice.

2. Chris Brogan - Chris shares great and useful information, but he also makes you think. It's a nice mix of technology articles with philosophical perspectives. I also like that he challenges you to think about your blog as an extension of yourself.

3. Louis Gray - Louis gives you in-depth information about particular technologies that he finds extremely useful, such as Toluu and Friendfeed. I really like his follow-up on topics as well - it expands the learning process exponentially.

4. Copyblogger - Brian Clark offers up daily thoughts, insights and tips that challenge you to be a better blogger, writer and person. His practical advice on social media and copywriting help all levels of bloggers.

5. Sparkplug CEO - Wendy Piersall, formerly of eMoms, is the CEO of Sparkplugging, and she offers great articles about building a business with the help of your blog while maintaining a work-life balance. Sparkplug is a network of blogs that are all very good, but the CEO blog is particularly useful to fellow bloggers. Wendy is accompanied by co-author Dawud Miracle, who is another expert on making your blog a fun and exciting business.
