Top vBlog 2014

Wow! The voting for Top vBlog 2014 is now open!

I didn’t blog as much over 2013 as I wanted, but have been able to pick back up after changing roles and I hopefully have some content that people will find interesting, so 2014 will be an exciting year for me personally.  I hope people over the past year have enjoyed the small articles I wrote.  Please note: If you kindly vote for me, my site is listed under my old domain name virtual-blog.com.

One of things I wanted to do was list some of my favourite bloggers, that I read regularly and feel are worth a mention.

• Duncan Epping
• Kendrick Coleman
• Chris Colotti
• Eric Sloof
• Cormac Hogan
• Rawlinson Rivera
• William Lam
• Alan Renouf
• Frank Denneman
• Massimo Re Ferre

Eric Siebert recommends to keep the following in mind when voting for your top blogs:

• Longevity – Anyone can start a blog but it requires dedication, time & effort to keep it going. Some bloggers start a blog only to have it fall to the wayside several months later. Things always come up in life but the good bloggers keep going regardless of what is happening in their life.
• Length – It’s easy to make a quick blog post without much content, nothing wrong with this as long as you have good content in the post that people will enjoy. But some bloggers post pretty long detailed posts which takes a lot of time and effort to produce. The tip of the hat goes to these guys that burn the midnight oil trying to get you some great detailed information.
• Frequency – Some bloggers post several times a week which provides readers with lots of content. This requires a lot of effort as bloggers have to come up with more content ideas to write about. Frequency ties into length, some do high frequency/low length, some do low frequency/high length, some do both. They’re all good and require a lot of time and effort on the bloggers part.
• Quality – It all comes down to whats in the blog post regardless of how often or how long the blog posts are. After reading a blog post if you come away with learning something that you did not previously know and it benefits you in some way then you know you are reading a quality post. Good quality is usually the result of original content, its easy to re-hash something previously published elsewhere, the good bloggers come up with unique content or put their own unique spin on popular topics.

Lastly, I want to thank Eric for the incredible work he puts in to this every year.  Its an honour to be listed on his site, and I am extremely grateful for him carrying this out.
