Through the various social bookmarking sites and networks that I so much appreciate, I have been able to find super resources that helped me accomplish a multitude of things that I sought to do with this blog. Some have been helpful with blogspot related needs, but most resources are applicable to blogging in general. And even those that I've utilized for a blogspot-specific resource usually are not limited to that content only, and provide the same for other blogging mediums and more.
Furthermore, some resources are useful not only to blogspot and blogging, with content relevant to and useful in a number of avenues and uses. This list is comprised of sites that have been useful to myself and my blogging experience. All of these I truly recommend for the resource they provided me, no affiliates, sponsors or agendas here. Just the facts, these sites made my blogging day.
