Blog Day 2007

What is Blog Day?

These have to be blogs I discover outside my normal, everyday reading list, according to the way I read the description at BlogDay. I can't simply recommend the blogs I've had in my list of recommended blogs since back in the day.

BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.

With the goal in mind, on this day every blogger will post a recommendation of 5 new blogs. This way, all blog readers will find themselves leaping around and discovering new, previously unknown blogs.

Here are my new and wonderful finds.

Notes from the Trenches: I discovered this blog while following a thread about the Edwards family taking their children with them on the campaign trail. What I found was an articulate and funny mommy blog with engaging writing. Mommy blogs are definitely not my usual territory, but the writing is so good here it drew me in.

eLearning Queen: This is a blog about online and distributed training and education, from instructional design to e-learning and mobile solutions. A Susan Smith Nash blog, this is a treasure trove of educational ideas, videos, articles, and provocations.

Techsploitation: This tech, science, sex, and pop culture blog is the work of Annalee Newitz. If the topics covered sound like quite a combination, you know that you're in for a geek thrill ride.

Curb Cut: An accessibility blog I never heard of before? Yes. And it's a good one, written by Christopher Phillips. Topics include accessibility, disability, formats, and learning.

My Mom's Blog: Stories, videos and lots of fancy stuff by 83 year old blogger Millie Garfield. Expand your horizons, children.

I guess everyone here is already familiar with Notes from the Trenches, but I didn't see a name on the blog and thought I'd discovered something brand new. Glad I managed to introduce you to a couple of new blogs.

BlogHer's DIY contributing editor has been one of my favorite bloggers since her "Big Yellow House" days, (this is where I usually ramble about her misleading ways but I won't...). Notes from the Trenches is always a pleasure to read.

eLearning Queen is a blog I have never had in my feed reader BUT I always find myself there when doing web searches or wandering around online learning blogs. I should just add her to my reader and save myself from stumbling into her regularly.

Millie Garfield's blog is one I have read off and on for years. She's fun and interesting, no doubt about that.

Now I'm off to visit the other two, neither of which I've been to before.
