“Regular Reads” Round-up
04/16/07
It’s time for me to list some of my favorite sites I read on a regular basis. You’ll notice that they aren’t all one particular type of site. I like a variety of topics, and I think it’s time I share a few links.
- North x East – North x East (pronounced North by East) is a blog focusing on business start-ups. Collis started this site about the same time that I re-started Antbag.com. I found North x East by following a link that led me to several excellent posts, such as 9 Ways To Make Your New Blog Seem More Established. I’ve been amazed at the rate at which this site has grown, as well as the quality of content day after day.
- Freelance Switch – Collis from North x East started this blog less than two weeks ago, and already has 3000 subscribers! Freelance Switch is a Community & Resource for freelancers of all varieties – designers, writers programmers, illustrators, photographers, etc. He certainly had a great idea with this one.
- Success from the Nest – This site is run by Tony D. Clark and offers “inspiration, tips, and advice for the home-based entrepreneur and those aspiring to be one”. Tony is also a very talented cartoon artist and makes some great illustrations. Tony and his site are first class all the way.
- Life Coaches Blog – This site is about “Personal Development for a Greater Life”. I haven’t been reading this one long, but it has a ton of great content!
- ChrisG.com – Chris Garrett writes about “blogging and new media”. His site grew very fast and covers a lot of interesting topics to those interested in blogging. One thing that really stands out is his free e-book, Killer Flagship Content, that I reviewed right here on Antbag.com not long ago.
- SmartWealthyRich.com – This site is created by Jonathan C. Phillips, and, as the title suggest, focuses on becoming smarter and more wealthy. Jonathan has linked to this site several times, and has been a regular reader here as well. Thanks for the support! Anyway, he has a cool site that I enjoy visiting several times a week. Check it out!
- Living Open Source – Living Open Source is a site that is run by Tim, a minister in the UK. He has several of his own themes and plug-ins that he’s created, and he writes a lot about how churches can use Wordpress for their church website……….a subject that I find really interesting.
- Lorelle On Wordpress – I haven’t been looking at this one all that long, although it is very popular. This site has a ton of great information about the different things you can do with Wordpress.
- Open Switch – This site offers cool information on topics such as: Wordpress, Ubuntu Linux, and Open Source Software, as well as being a personal blog. I like it. *Edit* I also meant to mention that Ben is the one who designed the Unsleepable theme for Wordpress. (Just as I wrote this, Ben decided to change his CMS platform from Wordpress to Textpattern).
- Copyblogger – If you need any improvement on your writing skills, Copyblogger is a MUST read. Plenty of tips on content and headline formulas that will make your posts more effective. This is one of the more popular blogs out there.

Great list! thanx for the linkage and support Anthony! I especially enjoy copyblogger (it’s a classic I guess) i’ll be checking out the other blogs you have listed also!
Thanx for sharing your list bro!
Thanks for including me on such a cool list. Some of these are my favorites, too. And there a some new ones I’ll be checking out.
I appreciate the kind words.
I’m at SmartWealthyRich regularly. Always good comment discussions around Jon’s posts.
And Copyblogger is my lifeline to sanity.
Jonathan – Thank YOU for the support over the last couple of months. Oh, and your new design looks really good.
Tony – Thanks for mentioning me in a recent post, and as far as the kind words………..hey, it’s all true.
Shane – I’ve just come across Zoomstart this past week. I think I followed a link from Jonathan’s site. Anyway, dude, you have some great info!
Thanx a bunch Anthony!
i’m happy you like the new look.
