Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why are there so many different bloggers on this website too?

A. This is a blog aggregator site. We have accummulated a large number of bloggers related to the topic of the site and have built a website that displays all of their posts. Now, rather than having to visit multiple blog sites each day to keep up with your favorite bloggers, you can view them all right here! Plus you may find other related bloggers that you now also want to follow. Once you have registered on the site with a User Account you can also Block bloggers that you don't want to see, mark bloggers as Favorites so that you can select to only view posts by these Favorite bloggers and Save your favorite posts.

We have also made it easy to sort thru the thousands of blog posts with a comprehensive Search Blogs area at the top of the site. You may search for a blogger or post based on keyword(s), by your Account Preference including Favorite Bloggers, Saved Posts or Read Posts and/or can search by Site Filters including the default Most Recent Posts, the Oldest Posts or the Most Popular site posts.

Think of it as a way to personalize and filter this site to your specific interests.

Q. I don't see one of my favorite bloggers on your website. How can I suggest that they be added?

Q. How do I become a Featured Blogger?

This is an excellent way to highlight your blog! To become a Featured Blogger, go to the Badges link on the top navigation of the site. First, you will need to sign in or set up a new User Account to either add your blog onto our site or, if your blog is already listed, to Claim Your Blog Feed.
