Welcome to the first best-articles edition of 2011!
A few notes about these best-of posts: I have to say I do weigh in favor of lesser-known blogs and writers, and I do try to vary who appears. Don’t want this to end up being a list of five posts from Copyblogger and five posts from Problogger every month (though some big names do make an appearance this month!). For the most part, I try to spotlight folks you may not have heard of.
I definitely see the influence of my fellow Top 10 Blogs for Writers Winners in this edition — been checking out their stuff and loving it!
A confession: I tend to cut off the judging about the third week of each month to get the post ready. So if you find a post from the previous month in here, that’s why. This isn’t necessarily the 10 best articles published this month — they’re the 10 best I read this month. In my own private opinion. Just my two cents here.
Hope everyone enjoys these — thought it was a particularly choice batch this month.
