You’ve probably noticed this isn’t my usual weekend roundup. Since I was so busy with my yard sale preparation this week, I’ll admit I haven’t read many blogs. But that’s OK.
Influential Blogger is putting on a writing project, focusing on the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008, and this gives me the opportunity to highlight some of my favorite blogs….blogs I see as movers and shakers this year.
The top emerging blogs are restricted to blogs that began in July 2007 or later. And since I live in the personal finance blogosphere, you’re going to notice a bias toward personal finance blogs in my top 10.
Without further ado, here are my picks for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008, in no particular order.
1. Moolanomy - Pinyo, the author of Moolanomy, has one of the sharpest entrepreneurial minds of anyone I’ve ever met (in the online sense, anyway). His financial wisdom is reflected in his blog. Moolanomy is quickly becoming the go-to blog for information on building wealth.
2. Gather Little by Little - There are lots of personal finance blogs around, but few written directly for Christians. Gather Little by Little fills that niche. Glblguy’s writing style is straightforward and honest. Definitely a leader in Christian personal finance!
3. Frugal Dad - Frugal living blogs aren’t hard to find these days, but a frugal living blog written from a man’s perspective isn’t that common. Frugal Dad fills hole in the blogosphere, for sure. He’s only been blogging since the end of December, and he already has over 700 subscribers and has been linked by Lifehacker! Watch this one!
4. The Wisdom Journal - The Wisdom Journal also entered the blogosphere with a bang. Only 5 months old, The Wisdom Journal has already hit the second page of Digg! Ron is the master of writing a good list, and I always enjoy his tips on life!
5. Skelliwag - This blog has already become an authority on growing a reader-friendly blog. In the short time Skellie has been blogging at Skelliwag, her site has grown to over 2400 readers! She also has a regular column at ProBlogger, which is no small thing, either. Skelliewag goes beyond the category of emerging….Skelliewag has arrived!
6. Blissfully Domestic - Blissfully Domestic is a 4 month old group blog/magazine. Covering topics from marriage to frugality to parenting and much more, Blissfully Domestic already has a loyal readership. They have a cool social media site, too!
7. Money Saving Mom - If you need to find the latest Walgreen’s and CVS deals, Money Saving Mom is the place to go! Even though this blog is less than a year old, Crystal, the blog author, is already an expert on saving money and bringing in extra income. Her readers are very loyal, and I expect her site to continue it’s rapid growth.
8. Mrs. Micah - Mrs. Micah’s tagline, Finance for a Freelance Life, describes her site perfectly. A newly married young woman, Mrs. Micah is ambitious and creative, and that comes through clearly on her blog. Always full of new ideas, I expect Mrs. Micah to go far.
9. Social Media Mom - If you want the latest info on social media, Social Media Mom won’t disappoint! Whether you’re interested in Twitter, Sphinn, Stumbleupon, Skirt, or any of the others, Social Media Mom is up to date on what’s hot…and what’s not.
10. Simple Mom - Though only a few months old, Simple Mom is quickly becoming an authority on simple living and organization. This blog is one to be watched for sure!

Being Frugal's Policies
I am not a financial expert. I'm just a wife and mom doing the best I can to live a frugal life and get out of debt. Like any human, I make mistakes. I write this blog out of my own experiences, and nothing I write should be taken as expert advice. If you need financial advice, please consult a professional.

Thanks, Lynnae, for including me with these other great bloggers!
You and I see eye-to-eye, I can tell, because these are already some of my faves. There’s a few I haven’t read, so I’ll have to check them out.
I’m really glad you posted this. I was looking for new reads to add to my list this week and I love the suggestions you made. I’ve filled in the gaps with the few that weren’t already on my blogroll. I’m looking forward to sipping my coffee and going back and reading their archives.
Happy Saturday!
Hello Lynnae. Thank you so much for joining. I hope the ones you cited here will be inspired to do the same.
Also, please don’t forget to post a comment in the writing project page to formally submit your entry. Cheers!
Lynnae, thank you for the having me on this list and all the nice things you have to say about me
I am definitely in a good company — these are some great blogs on the list.
Lynnae, thank you for including me on such a fine list. I would argue that BeingFrugal.net should be right at the top!
Great list, Lynnae!
I feel all cool that I already read every one of them.
wow…thank you Lynnae. Truly an honor to be included amoungst such a great group of blogs!
Thank you Lynnae for the nice link. These blogs are wonderful and you have a great resource here.
Awesome, thank you!
That’s a great list to be a part of.
Thank you Lynnae, you run one of my daily favorite sites! I love YOUR perspective, too!
It’s always an honor to have you link to my site. Thanks!
I’ve been touring through your list.. A good set of blogs!
Great list- almost all of these are on my feeds! Excellent list!
Just stopping by to say have a blessed Mother’s Day.
What a great list! I’m going to link this in my next round of link love
Lovely list. Hours of fascinating reading ahead. Thanks. One of the things I’ve learned as I’ve blogged is that people are always looking for ways to share great ideas. I haven’t started a “my favorite blogs” list yet, but am considering it for my site. I guess I’ve held off because I’m so wary of my site being confused with something read on a linked-to site. Has that every been a concern for you?
You’ve got a very good list here. Congratulations. I myself have been compiling a list for this. With so many promising young blogs out there, I just can’t decide yet which ones I’m gonna include.
Anyway, just sharing my thoughts.
