A while back ago I decided I wanted to start a blog. I began to read a bunch of articles that had anything and everything to do with blogging. I bookmarked blogging related sites religiously. Eventually I had tons of links that I had to sort through, delete the ones I didn’t want and keep the ones I liked.
So, I thought I would publish an edited list of some of the sites that helped me better understand, why I should start blogging and how I can get started.
Let's start with an inspirational article that will get you motivated and give us some perspective on the world of blogging.
Why you should start a blog today:

Proof is in the pudding. How does one profit from blogging, Google ADsense and other similar programs that are out there. Now don’t get me wrong, the guys in the article above clearly were ahead of the curve. But with a good sound idea and full execution you could be the next guy on this list.
