Top Ten Blogs…Which List…Top Mummy Blogs!

August25

I read an interesting article in The Independent this week about the increase in Mummy Bloggers and it made me look into the whole phenomenon a bit more. As a mum of two and busy businesswoman myself, I’ve been blogging away quietly on the Tish Tash Toys blog for over two years now and I don’t think I’ve been publicising it enough or communicating with people via my discreet little weblog.

I absolutely love twitter and will happily tweet away all day but have noticed that many mummy bloggers often get lots of comments on their blogs and chat away to people, really interacting, networking and growing through a whole community of bloggers. I’d like a bit of that mummy blog action please!

The Independent article says “Although a handful of mummy blogs were around as far back as 2006 – three years is an eternity in webworld – the vast of majority of bloggers such as mommyhasaheadache or londoncitymum are much newer to the scene.”… so my blog which started in May 2007 is a veritable antique!

Hunting around the web, I found various lists of top ‘mummy blogs’ put together by top mummy blog experts. All this research made me decide to publish my own Top Ten Blogs…Which List…Top Mummy Blogs!

1. Who’s The Mummy publish the TOTS100 list of the top 100 British parent blogs and bloggers every month.

2. Gurgle.com have listed their top 20 mummy blogs on the web.

3. Getting Ink has blogged about the 99 British Mummy bloggers on twitter

4. My Child features the best mummy blogs and daddy blogs in cyberspace

5. Cision Top Ten Blogs – Parenting

6. Top Ten British Mummy Blogs (2008) from Talking Tots

7.  Stateside Style – 50 Best Mom Blogs from Radical Parenting

8. The Daily Reviewer Top Parenting Blogs

9. Mammablogger.com lists their top 40 popular parent bloggers

10. and finally…Tish Tash Toys lists the top ten blogs…which list…top mummy blogs!

Who’s the Mummy has a great blog article called How to be a Mummy Blogger which advises to read other blogs, so I should be busy for a while reading all the recommended blogs listed above…

There is also forum for British Mummy Bloggers with over 500 members, so I need to get signed up to that quick sharp!

Lot’s to do….totally impossible during last week of summer hols….I think I’m the only mummy within a radius of 20 miles who hasn’t bought the new school uniform yet, I know….no shame!!!

    Nice bit of research! One of the best ways to raise the profile of your blog and join the community is to actively comment on blogs you enjoy. Good luck, Kat x

    Thanks Kat, I’ve started replying on some other blogs, I do need someone to explain RSS feeds to me again….as I’m sure there is an easy way to keep up to date with everyone’s latet blog entries!

    I’ve been blogging since May 07 too so I’m a bit of an old hand too. I’m loving how it’s grown over here now, and commenting and tweeting is the best way to get new readers and friends. Have fun. :D

    Thanks Jo – I will go look at your blog, and hopefully learn some tips from you – you old hand, you!!

    Hi Sharon,
    I’m fairly new to blogging, I started in May this year, but found that by reading other blogs and commenting on them I was quickly accepted as part of the community. I found loads of new blogs to read by following links in others’ blog rolls.
    Have you tried Google Reader? If you follow a blog it shows all posts in the reader.
    I hope this helps. I’ve followed your blog and am looking forward to reading more posts.
    Sandy :-)

    Great little piece and I totally relate to it!
    I’ve had a blog for a couple of years and only got a smattering of interest and comments! Funny how some blogs just take off, though I do think you need to promote yourself especially as there are loads of mum bloggers out there. I’ll be following you from now on, so leep up the good work!!

    Thanks for following Andrea. I’m following your blog too, the snotty sofa story was funny!
