msdanielle - just another ego blog site

While I was away I received a few emails congratulating me on making it on two lists of “top female bloggers.” I wanted to say “Thank you!” to those who’ve taken the time to name me and for acknowledging my little space in this blogosphere. Please visit these lists to see which female bloggers are being recognized, and find out why they matter! Girl powah!

NxE’s Fifty Most Influential ‘Female’ Bloggers

North X East has named me number 49 on their list — woohoo! Thanks guys! I’m rather speechless as I see my name listed among women such as Wendy Piersall, Tamar Weinberg, Lorelle VanFossen, Elizabeth Spears, Michelle Malkin, and Ariana Huffington, to name a few.

It’s humbling and also motivating, as I know I’ve let my blog lag somewhat this year due to a busier work schedule. However, I’m renewed after my trip back, and hope to continue to find inspiration in the world around me.

As for being named as an influential blogger, I can only attribute that acknowledgment to the fact that I made a great effort when I began blogging to integrate myself into the community and create a fabric of sorts, weaving together the little bits and pieces here and there from bloggers who I now consider friends and colleagues. We share ideas and check in on each other, give each other leads when we can, and look out for one another. I think to be influential can mean being a part of something and helping pave the way side by side with others, not just being the lone leader. Again, many thanks to North X East for including me on their list.

Enkay Blog’s Top 100 Female Bloggers

Enkay and I go way back to last year (That’s a lifetime for some in blogging…) Since then, Enkay’s blog has grown and developed and is still going strong in the community. Enkay originally included me on his Top 6 Female Bloggers list which grew to 50, and now the list had grown to 100. It goes to show that more and more women and starting to stand out in the blog crowd.

Thanks to Enkay for his support and always checking in to see how I’m doing. I recommend checking out his blog as well. He’s got a great writing style that I thoroughly enjoy reading, without any annoying typos. We’ve even challenged each other to find typos on our blogs — he caught two on mine, which I thought was a pretty low number! If you’re a female blogger and you’re reading this, feel free to shoot Enkay a message to be considered for his list.
