I’ve started My lucky number 13 four month ago as a personal blog. That time I didn’t know too much what involves a blogging activity and what skills I must have. I just thought that I’ll start the blog and I’ll learn on the way. I’ve write some posts, but I wasn’t satisfied neither about my articles content or the style I’ve used to write them. I had the feeling that something is missing. So I’ve started to read a lot of other blogs, especially blogging related, to figure out what did I do wrong.
If you take a look at my Categories, you will see that the Blogging category is more populated than the others. That’s because I begin to like to write about blogging and everything related and I think I’ll focuse on these kind of articles. Even my articles are still inexpertly (at least that’s how I see them) I think that some practice and perseverance will help me. I know that there are many (too many) articles blogging related, but I still discover that there are many unknown and obscure things for many bloggers, so I think if I understand them, why not to share with my readers?
I want to mention some blogs/bloggers from where I’ve learned a lot about blogging and, in my opinion, those blogs should be considered the ABC of blogging for every person who starts a blog.
1. Skelliewag.org written by Skellie, is by far the blog from where I’ve learned from every single post. It’s a blog about creating better content. It’s 100% ad and affiliate free and I can add that it is “paid review” free. Skellie’s articles are easy to understand since she includes examples as well. In that blog even the comments are like little posts and a newbie can learn a lot from the comments, too. You can find her best articles (though I think all her articles are great) in the best of Skelliewag in 2007. Skellie also write as guest for other blogs, like ProBlogger and Daily Blog Tips.
2. Problogger is written mostly by Darren Rowse, but you will find a lot of great guest posts too. There are a lot of tips about blogging, making money online, search engine optimization, writing and much more. The articles are easy to read and understand. One month ago I’ve found out that he runs another blog, too, Digital Photography School, another great blog with a lot of valuable posts. I just wonder: does he ever sleep? 
3. Daily Blog Tips are written by a team, but I like especially Daniel Scocco’s posts. He writes a lot of blogging tips, resources and links to make your blog better. If you are new to blogging (and even if you aren’t), you will find here a lot of answers to your questions. It really worth to read this blog.
4. DoshDosh written by Maki (who I’ve just read in his About page that he is a guy and not a girl – sorry Maki, I was fooled by your anime girls from your blog ) is a blog about professional blogging and making money online. There are very interesting articles, very well written and containing a lot of resources, including links to other articles or to forums discussions. Most of the articles are very long, so you must to have some patient to read them entirely.
5. JohnTP is written by JohnTP, of course, who was born on a 13 day. Lucky man! I’ve found his blog recently, but I’ve learned a lot from his articles. The blog is about blogging and making money online, but you will find also articles about SEO, tutorials, and much more. You will find many useful tips to improve your blog, so check it out.
There are also other great blogs about blogging I’ve read, but from several days I’m stuck on these five 
Please leave a comment and share with me/us which blog do you read most. It doesn’t necessarily to be a blogging blog. I think that if we share each other our favorite’s blogs, we can build a huge resource with worth reading blogs. This is the best thing about blogging, except making friends, that many bloggers writes about what they know best and a huge amount of knowledge are floating through the internet, just waiting for us to discover
