The BritMums Blog

Today Karin from Cafe Bebe starts her regular posts on some of the bloggers to read: Ah, my first Blogger of the Week post! Oh, the pressure! Do you know that there are more than 1,800 members of British Mummy Bloggers now? When I joined in May of 2009 there were around 300. I thought [...]

If you are interested in blogging you should read Technorati’s annual State of the Blogosphere 2010, which outlines growth and trends in blogging. This year was special because it is the first time it focused on female bloggers. Go girls! You can go over and read the report itself, but some of the highlights include: The rise [...]
