I’d like to cast my vote for MELODY (DELIBERATE RECEIVING BLOG – http://www.deliberateblog.com). I do my best to check her blog on a daily basis and it’s cool because updates are very frequent.

Hi Steven,
Hali
I nominate John Morgan of Grasshopper Notes: http://www.grasshoppernotes.com/blog/ It’s my favourite blog for inspiration and personal development. Full disclosure~ I’ve been John’s seminar coordinator for the past 4 years for his weight-loss / stop smoking hypnosis seminars. He has been my coach for all this time and I would not be who I am today without his wise words.
Thanks Hali for your vote and giving us your reasons.
Hi Steve,
I would like to vote for my blog Womanatics if self voting is permitted.
But at the same time I would like to know if the winner is going to be decided on the no. of votes the blog gets through this thread.
If this is so, then I should ask my readers to vote for me here.
Surabhi @ Womanatics recently posted..Happiness Lies in Small, Little Things: Time for a Giveaway
Self voting is permitted and vote added
Womanatics. Womanatics. Womanatics.
and The Change Blog.
I’m at a loss of what to think with this because hoe the hell do you measure something as subjective as blogging?
Take the Oscars for example, every person that votes has seen every film.
But I bet not one person who has voted has read every blog or even remotely close to every blog, so they’re voting blind.
Personally there isn’t a blog out there where I read every post, although there are a few that I read most.
So I’d be voting because I was asked to, which are lot of people are doing by th look at the trackbacks, or based on a very small selection.
Either way I’m not sure it would be fair of me.
Maybe in future years you could set up a panel Steve and do more like a 9rules things and get independent people to judge, based on set criteria
OTOH, I have no idea how, or even if, you could do that or what the criteria would be.
My favorite blog that I read regularly that touches on self-development is probably Jonathan Fields and he has been cranking out high quality output for years, but I’d hesitate to say it was the best when there are so many I have never read.
Hi Tim
Why not come out and say what you really mean instead of beating around the bush
This was always going to be a tough one Tim. I wanted to celebrate some great blogs and also find others out there that a lot of us might not have heard of, it’s a way to brings hundreds of personal development blogs together in one place.
It’s not a totally subjective award. The criteria for the top 50 is something like this:
Post frequency – at least once per week
Engagement with readers
Design
Content
And a few others things that will distinguish the blog from the rest.
I did think about a panel, but after all the criteria was set, you would ultimately have a panel of subjectivists, instead of one subjectivist
Marci Payne @ http://liberatingchoices.com is one the of best around!
Thanks for that M.R.
I would like to vote for Vlad at Simpler Life Today. His blog captures ways in which we can incorporate living a simpler life. http://simplerlifetoday.com/
