Ideas for Writing Blog Reviews

There are unlimited ways to develop ideas for writing blog reviews. First, brainstorm article ideas by listing all the titles and topics that come to mind. If you wish to review existing sites then I have an easy method for you to use. Start by surfing the internet using your topic and title ideas as the keyword searches. You should find ample listings of blogs and websites that use your prescribed keywords. Choose the ones that interest you and read over them to decide which ones you would like to review. Contact the author to make a deal for exchanging reviews. Most blog authors are willing to accommodate you by providing a reciprocal review or link on their site.

In turn, your blog will be randomly assigned to a writer who will write a review about your blog. Each participant receives a back link to their site.

Let me have it! Send me your Blog Url

I've had the idea for this blog almost two years but recently just pulled it from invisibility, bought the domain name, gave it a new face and started fleshing out some good content topics. It still lacks the momentum I desire for it though. I need to blog about you and I need you to blog me back. I have over 50 blogs of great variety and style with multiple niches, so you won't be at a loss for words when you review my network.

Here's the deal: 

From today until the last day of March, I will write a review for everyone who leaves a comment on this blog between those dates. The review will appear in one of my blogs that you get to choose. I'll email you the complete list after I read your comment. Please include your email, name and blog url that you want reviewed. I'll write approximately 200 words and I'll include one photo and two links. Blogs will reviewed in the order the comments are dated.

Part two of this contest involves participation from you. After I write the blog review for your site, I will leave a comment with the link to the review on your blog. Once this is done, if you accept this challenge, then you have to write a review about one of my sites on your blog and notify me when it's finished.

I'm hoping I get a lot of feedback on this one. Let's go for 100 reviews. Wouldn't that be exciting!!?? Please spread the word on Twitter, Facebook, My Space and on your blogs. I'll leave the light on for ya!

Visit with Ed and The World Famous Blog

If you are interested in sports, music, entertainment and if you have opinions about any of these topics, then take a gander at Ed's "The World Famous Blog".  I stumbled upon this blog on a random quest for quality blog content to read for my own education and amusement. As a writer, I love to read other people's works. It helps me gain perspective about writing, in general, and other people's views, in particular. Ed' blog immediately caught my attention because the title was like a magnet. Who wouldn't want to read "The World Famous Blog"?

Ed doesn't hold back in writing the truth that he finds available to the public. His blog featured the rude audacity of a Fox reporter who would not allow President Barack Obama to get more than a few words in between his incessant interruptions. Watch the video and you will be incensed whether you agree with the President and his policies or not. There is such a thing as rendering common respect and courtesy during a public interview to our nation's elected leaders, especially the President. Thanks for showing the video, Ed.

Read down further and you'll find a text exchange between Tiger Woods and some mystery women with whom he engaged in "alleged" sexual fantasy conversations. I say it is alleged because I have not found verification of this text exchange's authenticity. The interesting posts don't stop there so keep reading. Ed writes about Mom on Facebook and Burger King's next move. He uses lots of photos and videos which I find very engaging. Most people speed read nowadays thanks to texting and twitter so this blog will be an easy read with its engaging content, shorter posts and images to keep your interest. 

I like the layout because as The Midnight Writer, I utilize dark backgrounds for my persona and I love it but its not successful on every blog. It works well with images on The World Famous Blog. As you scroll to the bottom of the page, prepare to be a little shocked at the image of Forehead Tittaes. I noticed this site focuses on celebrities and musicians but I would like to see them delve into some world events for a little change of flavor. Just a suggestion, Ed. It's not my blog and everyone has their own style. I like your blog so have fun with it. Let me know if you add anything really exciting.

Why don't you all visit Ed's blog and tell him what you would like to read about?

Tracking Blogs that Write about 2012

This will be a new series and a special focus for me. I am intrigued, yeah, even captivated by ancient prophecies as they relate to modern day events. The fascination has engulfed my imagination most of my life. (That's another story) Since I'm so interested in the topic, I thought it would be inspiring to write on yet another blog. The difference with posts on Blog Me Back 2 is that I will not feature just my stories and blogs on the same subject, but I will be writing reviews about other blogs who feature 2012 and all the related subject matter. This should prove to be an eye opening experience for me and for you, my readers.

I'll announce the first review in a couple days. Meanwhile, visit a site where I have written one guest post "Approaching Ascension or Armageddon". I plan to start this series with a review of my 2012 blog and Mayan 2012, which is where I wrote the previously mentioned article. Join me as we Countdown till 2012.

Take a Peek at Entertainment Daily

I have never reviewed or critiqued a performer blog for TV/movie stars so bear with me as I step out on a limb here. I chose Entertainment Daily because of an article written about Bruce Willis titled "Facts of the Day" which talks about Bruce's movie career and his latest ventures.

Burn your Social Spark with Reciprocal Blogging

The title is a play on words emulating  one of my favorite paying blog companies that doubles as a social site.

LinkedIn is a great Resource for Bloggers

As social networks go, LinkedIn is like Caviar whereas other networks are French Fries. I'm not saying that it's for the elite, rather that it allows the members to present the best in their persona to the world. With this interactive social network, you can build a dynamic profile that displays your personal information including a small head shot photo along with business history, experience and connections. Other people can write recommendations for you that will display on your LinkedIn Profile for prospective friends and business associates to peruse. It's an interactive way to connect with others who share like interests in a professional format.

This Blog is a Proud Member of Izea's InPostLinks

It's March 13, 2010 and today is a wonderful day! The sun is shining as spring emerges in Central California. Cephas and I are hanging out in beautiful Yuba City, which is where this blog was created 1 1/2 years ago. It's taken a journey full circle to become an active blog platform for me. I'm finally satisfied with the layout and it's content niche. Since I'm so pleased with it, I am entering it into the blogging marketplace so I can use it as a voice for advertisers and private clients. Start calculating that jingle in my savings sock that is going to pay our way to the peace gathering in Jordan 2011.

Famous Celebrity Blogs


(Not me. The blog that is today's feature review.)


Okay. I'm going to take a gamble and step out of my comfort zone to review some famous blogs. DO NOT consider this a permanent personality transition for me. This is a temporary walk onto the catwalk of notoriety so I can share information outside of my normal realm...in all fairness to my readers. You have been forewarned. This is not the docile proper Midnight Writer. I'm in Hollywood zone now with Damn I'm Cute. (I just had to say that one more time. It's so out of character for me!)

Go ahead and click on the link to cruise Hollywood Boulevard with the star studded reviews this rank 4 blog features on its pages. I checked out the site info using this neat little gadget that I have on my browser. It pulls up page rank, whois info, a nice screenshot of the site which I pasted into this review, along with so much valuable information about the site. Find ranks with Google, Quantcast, Alexa, how many times it's been digged and so forth.

Damn I'm Cute is hot! It's got a lot going for it search engine wise and according to the social networks. But how is it for content and story interests? Let's take a look and see.

This is a no holds barred blog that relays celeb news and gossip in a blunt tell all fashion. I didn't find any restrictions on subject matter. The first article is about Lady Gaga trying to get past airport security. Read the article Lady Gaga's Glam Doesn't Stop at Airport Security.  The author's perspective about Lady Gaga's ordeal is witty and a little dicey. The most interesting part of the story is a reflection about getting through the security search with boots that were painted onto her legs. And no , she did not remove the wig and veil.

I scrolled down the website to get a feel for the celebrity tales on this cyber Hollywood Boulevard. I found famous names like Marie Osmond, Rose Ann Barr, Corey Haim's news of death, Jennifer Anniston, and Tom Hanks featured on the cover of Time Magazine. Wow! Jam packed full of hot stories and even hotter celebrities...this mag is worth a click or two of your mouse to pay your respects once a day. Subscribe to the rss feed so you don't miss out. And Billy Ray Cyrus, is your daughter Miley old enough to be dating that guy?

This Blog made its Social Spark Debut Today

Hopefully Social Spark will approve this blog. I submitted it into my list of blogs on my profile at their site which brings my list to a total of seven blogs. When I am finished submitting my blogs, I will have over forty in the queue to write for Social Spark advertisers.

I hope to be very busy this summer as I'm saving to pay for a trip to the Middle East for a large peace gathering in Jordan 2011.  That means I have to earn some big bucks. Also, my husband and I are pitching a movie idea in L.A. in the next couple weeks. If the producer takes on the project, we'll be filming some of this event live for the movie. It's going to be an exciting year. I hope you'll join Cephas and me for the adventure.
