One of the things that I like to do with this blog is to bring attention to other blogs. The main theme of BlissLogs has always been blogging about blogging and I recently came across another site with this theme as well. MeAndMyDrum has been active about as long BlissLogs and seems to be on a similar path. They are currently running a little promotion to get some reviews and will pick at least one reviewer to win a Google Adwords coupon and a banner ad on their site for 30 days.
MeAndMyDrum launched on February 20th and they already have over 100 posts. It started off with posts about current events but within a month they began to blog about blogging and haven’t looked back since. There are many posts worth reading. I’ll let you visit the blog yourselves to read them all, but I’ll give you a quick rundown of my initial thoughts of the overall blog.
If you’ve read some of my blog reviews in the past, you know that I like to give some feedback to help them improve the site. I don’t like the reviews that just list everything that is great with the site. On that note, I think the right sidebar is currently space wasted. There is a lot of icons and images that just seam unnecessary. Being new to the blog, I figured the best place to start reading would be the beginning. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an archives section to quickly get to the first posts. Other than those little points, I think the posts are definitely worth the read. The way I’ve gotten around those petty gripes is to subscribe to the feed. That way, I’m sure not to miss the quality posts that I’m sure are to come. I was happy to see that it is a full feed. All too many blogs these days only give a sneak peak into the post on the feed and make you visit the site to finish reading it. This blog integrates their love of drumming into their new found love of blogging. It is obvious that they have become passionate about blogging based solely on the quantity of posts they have manages to whip out over the last 90 days.
My recommendation: head on over to MeAndMyDrum to get another perspective on the blogosphere. Don’t forget to tell them I sent ya. 
Happy Blogging!

Hi Jason, thanks so much for the review! Yes, I’ve been worried about that right sidebar myself. I have plans to improve it. And I read somewhere that removing the archives link was actually a good thing because most people search rather than take the time to dig through the archives. I don’t know, maybe I’ll bring it back.
Thanks again!

It’s always my pleasure to find new and interesting blogs. I see your point about the search vs archives links, however I think it better to give your readers more options to navigate.
