Once upon a time I was a little blogging newbie who started a blog on WordPress with no clue what she was doing. I didn’t even know there was a WordPress Reader. I still remember the first time I clicked the READER button. I was like, what the hell is this??
Incredibly, I somehow made it to the 2.5 year mark, and I suppose that means I’m no longer a newbie, even though I still feel like one.
To say I love finding wee baby bloggers is an understatement. They are just so… innocent. And now I know why everyone was so nice to me when I started out. Baby bloggers are so damn cute.
I also LOVE making lists, which is why you are now going to read through a list of nine newbies who recently piqued my interest:
This author’s profile image is a unicorn. I’m already sold. I was also her very first follower, which is why she gets to go first. To be someone’s numero uno follower is a huge privilege and responsibility.

The Ink – Joe Hart
Hart’s website is so flashy and well put together that I can’t help but feel a twinge of envy for a blogger so new to be striking out with such an early display of finesse. He’s a Mike Allegra/Peter Edwards hybrid in the making.

(re)imagining the mundane – Mariahv
Poets are a conundrum to me. They are of a different ilk, and Mariah is no different. They have a way of weaving and threading words into a silken thread that inspires and ignites a passion we never knew we had. What would take me a whole book to convey, they can do in just a few words.
