Darren Rowse over at ProBlogger.net recently hosted an article that gave a list of 30 Bloggers To Watch.
After the post went live Darren gave a challenge to others in the blogosphere to make their own lists of bloggers to watch in their own niches. I decided to join in the fun!
My list contains a lot of newer blogs, and blogs that have hit their stride in the past year. All of them are valuable additions to your daily reading Some of the bigger blogs in the personal finance niche may not appear, but that’s OK as you’ve probably already heard of them anyway!
