The Cool Kids of WordPress #2

You may remember I blogged about โ€˜The Cool Kidsโ€™ back in March of this year, which went on to spawn a terribly endearing group called the โ€˜Outcastโ€™s Bloghouseโ€™ created by my fellow Aussie writer, Jessica Bakkers, and of which I am a proud member.

I could not help sharing this list with you again, especiallyย as Iโ€™ve found a whole new collection of writing and author blogs that Iโ€™ve fallen in love with โ€“ big thanks to everyone who commented with their suggestions last time!

      1. Thanks! I think The Book Review Directory ( http://www.bookreviewdirectory.com ) has more subscribers than All Romance Reads, and I also own that one. In case you were interested, that is. : )

        1. Oh wow really!? That’s amazing. I’m surprised I haven’t come across this one before. Or maybe I have, just not around the time I was compiling my list. Combined you’d have quite a lot of subscribers!

        Mmmm no, I’d disagree! You have a very vibrant community…I’d say more vibrant than many of these “cool” people. I think you’re “cooler”, and I’m not just saying that. If you actually look at some of these people’s blogs, the sense of community really isn’t there….just the numbers!
