Every now and then we stumble across new blogs we have never seen before. I love discovering new bloggers and my reader is therefore getting busier every day. Today alone I spent 3.5 hours on reading and commenting on blogs. I see it as an enrichment of my knowledge helping me to become better on what I do.
The following bloggers have stood out to me this week, because they are relatively new to me and because I liked what I saw.
The first blogger I’d like to mention here is Joanna Young. I came across her through Stumble Upon. I’m not sure whether she was recommended by one of my friends but I’m happy to have found her. Her blog Confident Writing lies closely to my heart since I’m a writer myself. I especially love Joanna’s podcasts which are simply great. She also wrote a cool “tutorial style” post on how to get started with podcasting.
Joanna’s blog is value for any blogger interested in writing better blog posts.
Kotsengkuba is one of my newer commenter’s here and I was intrigued by the unusual name. This is what attracted me to have a closer look. ( So here is a hint to brand yourself uniquely). After asking kotsengkuba on his blog serialblogr about the meaning of his name I am now officially informed.
I won’t give the secret away either, you will need to hop over and find out yourself. He blogs about digital things, photography, the latest software and much more.
Costa or Fong writes blog posts on blogigs in a compelling matter. He is an oldie blogger having been around the blogosphere since 2004. His topics range and are centered around making money and blogging as well as IM related. Great blogger with great headlines and posts.
Costa is giving away some groovy RSS Feed buttons for any new subscriber, so head over there and grab them now.
Etienne Teo is a new Stumble friend. He lives in Singapore and his self branded blog is a great source for wanna be marketers. I love his blog design and the topics he writes about. I wish I was as advanced as Etienne when I was 24. I would be a billionaire by now. Etienne has a fantastic blog and one I will be returning again and again as there is so much information.
Mark Dykeman is a writer and much more and has an uncanny brain. I’ve come across Mark quite a few times lately, both here and on other blogs. His wits is what attracted me to him because I like people with brains, even if they are uncanny. 
He is a passionate writer and wants to visit England and Australia before he dies. We can always have a beer together Mark.
Thomas Sinfield has just launched his first ebook. For a measly $10 blogger newbies can learn how to get started and build their own blogging business.
I realized while visiting his blog that Thomas is going full time next Friday. He quit his Job and I’d say good on you and I wish you the best of success. He is currently busy with his “secret” Internet marketing project which he hopes to launch on Dec 1st.
All these bloggers have captured me and I’m now an avid reader of them all. Thanks guys and keep up the great work you all do.

wow.. thanks for the plug, and also for reading my blog! I love hearing about the people that do read it, it motivates me to keep going.
Monika,
You just made me want to kiss you!
thanks!
Why am I so full of things to be blissful about this entire week? I very much thankful for having been featured in this post considering my blog has been around for measly 11 days now. thanks!
Aw shucks. Thanks for the “juice”!
Now I’m just going to have to put you on my blog roll. Now you’ve done it!
Hi Monica, thanks for highlighting my blog - and the podcasts in particular. I’m much less confident doing them than the writing work, and I haven’t had much feedback on them up to now… So you’re motivating me to keep going
Great selection of other blogs too - I can’t resist one that’s called uncanny (one of my favourite words!)
Joanna
Thomas: you are welcome, hopefully your step into full time blogger will be great for you.
Costa: you just made me *blush*
Kotsengkuba: Hey, you already caught some new readers, well done and keep it up.
Mark: *heck* what have I done to myself, oh my…:-) thank you for the honor Mark
Joanna: it is interesting how we always seem to be our worst judge. I love your podcasts so please keep them up.
Hehehe…yes, the uncanny, you got to love it.
I really hope one day we all will become billionaire, it might take some time and age is no limit in making that much money! Cheers! Thanks for the linkback!
Thanks for posting this. I checked out all the blogs and found some really good information.
Heck, I even bought Thomas Sinfield’s new blogging ebook and I never would have known about it if not for this post.
And now I’m gonna write a review about it on my own blog sometime this week. So your post has definitely helped him.
Monika you certainly have some great karma coming around back to you after helping so many people out on your blog.
Talk to you soon.
Trent
Etienne: yes, I totally agree with you. It certainly sounds like a plan.
Trent: cool, I’m happy for both you and Thomas. Glad you found him since he is a great blogger.
And thank you kindly for your lovely comment too. You know that I’m a great believer in karma and lately my life has been nothing but amazing every single day thanks to all of you guys!
