Reading other blogs can be addicting. It can also eat up way too much time. However, many times I find inspiration for things I want to blog about, topics I want to comment on, or just plain interesting reading. Done right, reading a range of blogs isn’t too bad a time waster (other times, though…).

1. The Dilbert Blog
   Way too much fun. The comments can take a lot of time to read, so I don’t always go through them, but surprisingly thought provoking at times.
2. ShoeMoney
   One of the big affiliate marketing blogs. Lots of great topics and food for thought.
3. ClickNewz
   Lynn Terry’s blog about internet marketing. Often interesting and some pretty good interaction.
4. SEOmoz
   I read this one kind of off and on. Lots of great information, though.
5. ProBlogger
   Lots of tips on earning money as a blogger and plenty of comments.
6. eMoms at Home
   Another of those blogs I can really get into as a fellow work at home mom.
7. Table for 5
   I grew up with my mom and 3 sisters, so I can really sympathize with such a crowd. Raising kids can be mighty hectic.
8. GeekySpeaky
   Just appeals to the geek in me. She also runs the SupahStar Saturday meme, which I was recently featured in.
9. SEO Book Blog
   Really interesting if you’re interesting in SEO and what’s going on with search.
10. Freakonomics Blog
    Not an everyday read, but the titles drag me in often enough.
11. Green Options Blog
    Lots of great posts on the environment and environmental products.
12. Chris Garrett on New Media
    SEO, blog critiques and so much more.
13. Self Made Minds
    Blog by a couple of internet entrepreneurs. Certainly something I can get into.

No, I don’t read every post every day; I’d lose way too much working time. But these all get scanned regularly, and interesting topics read more carefully.
