Blogger vs Blogger

Friday, January 28th, 2011

To become a successful blogger, you must keep up to date with what your fellow bloggers are up to!

That’s why below, we have linked to 2 fantastic blogs, which should hopefully inspire you into becoming a better and more active blogger yourself!

Copyblogger

Copyblogger was founded in January of 2006 by Brian Clark. Brian is CEO of Copyblogger Media, a serial entrepreneur, and a recovering attorney.
The website focuses on creating compelling content as a way to drive traffic to your website. Making content that people want to read is an art in itself, and one of the most fundamental parts of being a successful blogger! If you don’t create interesting content, nobody will want to read it, or share it!

Problogger

Problogger is dedicated to helping other bloggers learn the skills of blogging, share their own experiences and promote the blogging medium.

Darren Rowse started the site in September 2004 mainly because he wanted to keep a record of what he was learning about blogging for money. Since then he has added well over 3500 articles, tips, tutorials and case studies to the website archives.

So get reading, and get inspired!

Incredible aerial photos the Brisbane floods – before and after

Nothing like an interactive image to bring a point home. So, I felt it was important to reblog about it.

This is on the ABC News website and they have this function where you can hover over the image and drag a little slider across to show the before after effect of the flooding. Check it out here!

(and the blogging tip? Find things to do with current events, and comment on them on your own blog! Current event topics are always going to get a lot of interest!)

The functionality really helps you see the before/after - aerial photos of the Brisbane floods - taken in flyovers on January 13 and January 14.
