Welcome to Blogs of Photogs! Blogs of Photogs is owned by Mary Hanson, of Mary Hanson Photography. I welcome readers and other photographers to submit their blog, or blogs they admire, to be reviewed. There is a long list, and it takes a tremendous amount of time to visit, read, and review so many great (or not-so-great) photography blogs. If you have emailed rest assured you are in the list. Some keys to getting reviewed are: updating your blog often, having beautiful photography, writing more than just a two word description about your photos, having the "bugs" worked out of your blog (links that are broken or images that don't load are too frustrating to send hundreds of readers to visit...) and a sense of humor helps too. :) Thanks for enjoying my project!

Also, I encourage you to visit and support our sponsors of the blog, as they help pay for the costs and upkeep of the site, and are great vendors! Email if you are interested in becoming a sponsor. Opportunities are limited within similar categories.

Not a review…but a cool fun app

I wanted to share this nifty new application I found on one of the blogs I looked at recently (sorry that I have forgotten where I found it!) Its called Wordle and you can find it at wordle.net

Basically, you can create a beautiful word cloud out of any site or blog that has an RSS stream. Here is the cloud I created from recent blogs of photogs posts:

Click the image to go check it out larger at flickr. I even picked the colors to match my blog. I think it is a fun thing to add to your photo blog….so I wanted to share it here for my readers.

Enjoy!
