DISQUS

Cody, thanks for including The Urban Muse! I'm already a loyal reader of Freelance Switch and Anti 9-to-5 Guide, but I can't wait to read some of the others!

I've had quite a bit of feedback on this, so GOOD, I hope you guys like it!

If you like this idea, the best thing you can do to help spread it is you can just blog something simple on your website to share with your audience/friends.

I made this to benefit the blogosphere community at large. I've found it really helpful when searching and especially for finding high-quality, relevant outside resources to link to, so I only hope it can be as useful to others as well.

If you think it's relevant/helpful enough for your audience, feel free to link to the Google search page or even embed a search bar into your own page! I am trying to maintain it so it stays useful and credible, but obviously I will do my best so that as many bloggers in the community as possible get a little exposure.

If you like it, plug it into your iGoogle page for a while, and see what your results are like. It's been really helpful for me so far…

When I saw what you did, I decided to make a custom search for all of the blogs -- currently 487 -- monitored by www.iposacto.com.

The search box is at the top of the right column and the results deplay in the center column.

You can see the URLs that the custom search checks at ipsosacto.com/blog_url_list

Hey John, thanks for your visit and your comment. Glad I inspired you to utilize the custom search tool. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Cody,

Thanks for including me on the Social Media end! All of the blogs on your list are top notch. This will be a great research tool for articles or just for knowledge. Catch you soon.

Cody,

This is my first time visiting your site (courtesy of Dan's plug at Personal Branding Blog), and I must say not only do you have a phenomenal design, but I enjoy your content. Your contribution both to your readers and the blogosphere with the google custom search is a solid one! The best part is that you include a good number of the blogs I read (though I suspect we could get together and I could convince you of about 12-15 more that would make it even more spectacular), so I don't have to create my own.

Kepp up the good work hombre!

Thanks so much for putting this together - can't wait to try it out! Thanks for including Personal PR. :) Hope all's going well with you!

@ Greg and Tiffany: Certainly glad to include you as part of the first batch. I've been enjoying your guys' writing for quite some time, so I know your content stands up to the stuff on this list!

@ Ryan: Thanks for the compliments and for visiting. If you've got some worthy suggestions, feel free to send them my way.

I just want to send a special thanks to Guy Kawasaki for re-tweeting my post about the community blog search tool. Got a lot of traffic from Twitter and StumbleUpon users. Also, thanks are due to Dan Schawbel for promoting me alongside Unique Blog Design's Nate Whitehill on his Personal Branding Blog! Check out Dan's Personal Branding Magazine, it really is incredible.
