The Cool Kids of WordPress #2

You may remember I blogged about The Cool Kids’ back in March of this year, which went on to spawn a terribly endearing group called the ‘Outcast’s Bloghouse’ created by my fellow Aussie writer, Jessica Bakkers, and of which I am a proud member.

I could not help sharing this list with you again, especially as I’ve found a whole new collection of writing and author blogs that I’ve fallen in love with – big thanks to everyone who commented with their suggestions last time!

    Hi Milly! I also own All Romance Reads, so you can put my name (Ryan Lanz) instead of Unknown, if you like. : )

        Thanks! I think The Book Review Directory ( http://www.bookreviewdirectory.com ) has more subscribers than All Romance Reads, and I also own that one. In case you were interested, that is. : )

          Oh wow really!? That’s amazing. I’m surprised I haven’t come across this one before. Or maybe I have, just not around the time I was compiling my list. Combined you’d have quite a lot of subscribers!

      Hahaha thanks Dominic 🙂 I think even if I one day had as many followers as these guys, I still would never be as cool – maybe in a decade or so hahaha

        Mmmm no, I’d disagree! You have a very vibrant community…I’d say more vibrant than many of these “cool” people. I think you’re “cooler”, and I’m not just saying that. If you actually look at some of these people’s blogs, the sense of community really isn’t there….just the numbers!

      Considering my preoccupation with cats – I should have totally used this word! But instead I went with goats?
