Greetings from Texas: Greetings from Texas Summer Blogroll

I've been meaning to put together a proper blogroll for a while now, not just for y'alls reading pleasure, but for my own personal benefit. I often find myself staring at the screen thinking "ummm, who do I like again?".

The thing is, however, its very hard for bloggers, or myself at least, to put together such a list. First of all, let's be clear, I'm taking it wayyyyy too seriously. But it's hard in a very 1st world way. Perhaps "political" is the better word. It's reminds me of choosing bridesmaids for my wedding. Which I was THE WORST at as all my girls had to return their dresses as that wedding never happened. #mybad #jcrewdresses #youcanreturnthem

the gft graphic was designed by becky murhpy who you'll note is on the blogroll as well

Political is the right word for it. There's a lot of "but I'm friends with this person" - I have to include them. But if I include them, then I have to include Big Bertha*.

*Big Bertha's name has been changed, or made up rather, for my own personal entertainment value.

The truth is the following blogs are all on my blogroll for different reasons. Some have consistently good, original content and I'm genuinely engaged and inspired. Others aren't necessarily my faves from a content perspective, but they are industry leaders and I want stay informed on whats happening in the industry in terms of trends, sponsorships, and general montetization happenings.

Others are my friends' blogs and even if they blew I'd still plug them because I'm so ride or die for those particular girls.

So here's my list. I'll add more as I remember and as I discover more. Please add your own recs in the comments section so I can check them out as well, cool?
