Who are some of your favorite AR Bloggers? (A list of famous, infamous and fun to read little known bloggers)

Okay, we see the big boys and girls on the featured pages all the time.  They're the "MEGA" contributors to AR what they write we all like to read.  They're well known and well respected for their talents. I've been fortuante enough to grace the featured pages twice but these people have been there hundereds of times.

What I wanted to do is compile a list of little known favorites of ours.  The people yet to hit the big time here on AR.  I know it's not proper to post links in the commnets section but for this post I'll make an exception. 

If you have someone's posts that you enjoy reading please link to their blog and tell us why they're worth giving a read and if you're really self centered or just need a little love you can link to your blog too (although the comments technically already link to your profile you go right ahead).

 

I'll kick it off with three of my favorites:

 

Greg Nino "Laugh, Learn, And Share" and he means it.  I stop by for a good laugh and a man hug(if needed) daily.

 

Chistina Ehtridge: What can I say I like her perspective.  She writes a lot of local content but when she speaks her mind it's fun to read.

 

Bob Stewart: I know he's staff and can probably get just about everything he writes featured but he doesn't post often enough in my opinion but when he does you should study up.  You're in for a tech overhaul. 

 

So who am I missing?  I need some more must reads that I dont' already.

@ Jason Sardi....WOW!  That's all I can say.  Wow.  I won't even ask...

@ Lane  thank you. You know I enjoy you too, but I was trying to bring attention to some folks that really, really need a little more recognition on here IMO.

@ Brian  I can be sweet too! I promise!

@ Melina!  Awwwwww. I don't know what I would do if it weren't for backstabbing friends like you that love to sit around and talk about me pray for me! >:) 

@ Sally I'm most definitely not for everyone (to read or work with). Not trying to be either. However, I think you are going to blossom into a real thing of beauty.  Thank you.

Jessica, Crazy Shark Dude is the bomb.  He is a lawsuit waiting to happen, and I want to be around when the feds raid his blog ;)

Just for giggles I checked out Crazy Shark Dude.  I couldn't read the post because of the picture...what was that pot of water?  Don't tell me, I don't want to know!

Brian - I like Gren Nino too.  He's so funny and has a great sense of humor.  I also like Janet Guilbault because she's a fellow mortgage professional and has an incredible writing style.

Brian, Great idea for a post. I think the error I make in my judgment of bloggers is that I assume that the longer someone has been on AR, the better the blogger they are.

What I have realized is that ones experience on AR does not equate to experience with writing and insight.  There are a ton of great "new" bloggers on AR.

Cool post Brian. There are so many excellent writers it would be hard to name a favorite. Although if I want to laugh it would have to be Greg Nino.

I am not going to even start naming my favorites here on Active Rain because I wont know how to end it. But I will say that "I have learned and still learning from all you great people here on Active Rain". You are all great people. Thanks for teaching what you have taught me. Great post Brian.

Excellent idea Brian.  Problem is there are so many great bloggers here on AR.  I know that I have not had the pleasure of reading them all of them.  I would guess I am lucky if I have hit 25% of the greats.  That said, here is my list:

Jason Sardi - just love his style of writing and his take on every situation.

Lenn Harley - one of the masters for sure.

Jeff Belonger - I have watched Jeff since my first day on AR.  Always has some great posts that are easily understood.

Steve Hoffacker - whenever I need to some motivation Steve always has some very thoughtful posts.

Roland Woodworth - a local Realtor who is always there to assist and always has great localism posts.

Bill Gassett - my Massachusetts fave. GO Sox!

I have REALLY enjoyed getting to know David Patterson.  Great, personable, upbeat KW agent in South Carolina (I think).  He may not be on your radar screen, he's worth getting to know.  Happy Easter!

Hi Brian -  Wow - I have so many different people that I like to read for different reasons -there are just too many to list!    That said - when I only have time to read just one - the ONE that I read is Joseph O'Saben.   

Happy Easter :)

A lot of my favs have been mentioned already.  I have about 15 or so that I try to read every day and then some more that post less often that I check in on.  It is fun to get to know individuals and how they think.

Thank you, Melina - I am flattered, delighted, and broke now that I paid the vig. The next time you send Big Tony Two Fingers to collect a debt, tell him to knock first. (But I do owe you bigtime - thanks!)
