I am a serious sucker for numbered lists (as you may have noticed on this blog). What can i say? I like having things broken down into easily digestible formats. The following resource is another numbered list worth checking out. I checked out several of the articles and they really are essential.

The articles listed in this post can help those who are serious about blogging to create a blog that is read by even more people (with more comments and probably even more ad revenue… if you’re into that sorta thing).
