Without getting too tongue-tied with all this talk about bloggers who blog about blogging, I'd like to share my recommendations for the 5 best blogging blogs.
Whether you've been blogging for years or absolutely new to the world of blogging (for money or not), these blogs will teach you something new and interesting.
The 5 Best Blogging Blogs
1) ProBlogger

The biggest name in the professional blogging world is Darren Rowse of ProBlogger. The man's a legend, and has over 44,000 Likes on Facebook alone.
From high quality and engaging posts to stellar paid programs, ProBlogger is the place to go whether you're a new blogger or old. Seriously. Go there right now.
2) CopyBlogger
Another inspiring and insightful mega-blog is CopyBlogger. Their main focus is on content marketing, a rather particular style of blogging. That doesn't mean, however, that their posts do not pertain to you and your blog. On the contrary, this is a goldmine for bloggers trying to stay up-to-date on the blogging world.
3) BloggingPro
Yes, the names for many of these incredibly popular blogging blogs all kind of sound the same, but it's worth it to keep going! BloggingPro is far smaller than the previous blogs, but that doesn't mean it lacks in worthy content.
It focuses mostly on the art of blogging as a specific type of writing. It shares job postings for writers, and provides tips and tricks on making it as a paid blogger out there in the real world. Of course, it does far more than just these things, but keep in mind it is more writing focused than some of the others.
4) Chris G
Chris Garrett, a New Media expert, blogs about finding your own voice and purpose amid the vast sea of other bloggers. It definitely caters to bloggers who are trying to earn a living, and who use their websites to sell services or products. But, these tips are wonderful for inexperienced bloggers looking for insight on how to create a brand identity, or a unique blog voice. Plus, he has two free ebooks. Who doesn't love free ebooks??
5) Blogtrepreneur
Like several of the blogs above this one, Blogtrepreneur focuses on the money-making prospects that come with blogging. They add plenty of content about social media, personal development, and business, which makes it a great place for small business owners in need of a wide range of knowledge.

Honorable Mention: Blogging With Amy
Although this blog might not be as big as some of the others listed above, it is completely worth of mention. For one, it's perfect for the most clueless blogging newbs of us all. From coming up with a domain name to putting the site together, Amy Lynn Andrews walks her readers through the whole process.
But, she also explains everything you need to know about monetization, design, productivity, and more. It really is a great place for people with an idea, but not way of putting it in order.
