Even though I've been a blogger since 2005, I've learned so much about blogging from others just this past year. Sometimes, it's reinventing the wheel to regurgitate the tips and tricks others have already said. So without adieu, here are some great meta blogs (blogs about blogging), and a few of their best articles.

I also highly encourage you to check out Blog Coach, a relatively new blog founded by long-time blogger Angie Wynne of Baby Cheapskate. She features some great blogger interviewers, and each week highlights a blog that asks for some critique and feedback.
So now you have more reading than you know what to do with. Have any more good bloggers-about-blogging to share?
"Toblerone" is an American mom living overseas with two kids under 3, and she writes about life hacks for home managers at Simple Mom. Her favorite color is green.

Thanks for this info. I am a new blogger (one week) and will definitely read these. I would give you some "Stumbelupon" love but don't have a clue what that is! Hopefully these articles will tell me.
Thanks again. I need all the help I can get.
Debbie – Go to http://stumbleupon.com, set up a free account, and get started! Then you can friend me – I'm simplemom there.
Thanks for the exhaustive list — my wife forwarded the URL to me.
While I respect all these people dispensing advice about blogging, I am also somewhat skeptical of many self-proclaimed gurus on the web. Some of them have no traffic to speak of or monthly revenue that they count in three digits.
The reality is that bloggers that have massive traffic never speak about how they got there because the last thing they want is people knowing their tricks and competing with them. I attract 20,000 visitors everyday on my various blogs but I have never written about how to become a great blogger or how to make money on the web.
So when I need advice from the pros, I try to ask them personally.
Nice post and thanks for pointing to us
Debbie – Garret Camp (founder of StumbleUpon) gave a talk at PARC [Palo Alto Research Center] last November about how it works and what it's about. If you're interested, you can watch the video here: http://www.parc.com/cms/get_article.php?id=704
Jay, I have to respectfully disagree on this one. My experience has always been successful bloggers want others to succeed; so much so that they end up writing about their knowledge – to share with all.
Conversely, the bloggers that think that there are in fact 'secrets' tend to be less successful; they do not like to share.
And isn't that what it's all about? Sharing to make the Web a better place?
@Jay – Thanks for respectfully sharing your perspective, but I'll have to agree with Lid on this one. The web is a big place, and most big bloggers genuinely want to help others grow. Their success depends on our success, in a sense! I've chatted one-on-one with a number of these bloggers, and they've been nothing but respectful, friendly, and genuine.
Wow – lots of great resources. Thanks!
Thanks for the link love! You've linked to some really great sites. Lots of good info.
