I rarely, if ever, find a blog from the list on Blogs of Note, which inspires me to greater heights, apart from the banal, "Oh, that's nice. I like the way he/she did that. Next?" That all changed when I spent two hours marvelling at the sheer application and dedication to subject matter, required to produce this blog, which I summarily tagged 'a work of art' -
The owner of the blog goes by the name of Paul, (P.K.) or 'peacay'. This very talented blogger, or 'curator' as he refers himself, who would suit description as academic, researcher, bibliophile and all-round compiler of this compendium of historical, factual, brain-stimulating and interesting eye-candy, is one who really deserves to be lauded, and recognised. I aim to do my bit, here, as well.
Once you enter the catacombs of BibliOdyssey, a world of carefully researched knowledge is prepared for you, like a 5-Star banquet. Paul's technical expertise is also on display, for other bloggers, with a thirst for the 'how did he do that?'
Paul presents his content, bibliographies, blog-links, and his various feeds, in an easy to read manner, and uses blog options which do not clutter, nor detract from, the ultimate purpose. This balance between understanding of construction, content, and presentation, give Paul's blog a harmonious, yet winning combination ... and he's Australian, as well!

Found another one, folks! This one is a 'must visit'.
William Moore's blog, Looking Through My Eyes, is a rare one. It's a combination of burnished talent, garnished with an appreciation of the senses. Bill has an eye for detail which extends to the aesthetic. It's a panacea for the spirit and a bonus to your day.
His talents obviously lie in the heady world of imagery. He balances his photography and presentation with a little techie magic, through an innate ability to blend the two. He doesn't use a Nokia mobile phone with a 5Mbs camera, and MSPaint, like me!
His black background is a perfect canvas.
William's website, Images by William Moore, gives you more insight into this rare man!

One blog I have been getting a subscription-feed from, for a long while, and forgot to write about here, is Delores' blog, Daisy Soap Girl. So, this is it.
I've always been interested in reading how craftspeople make their products, or what interests them. I always find time to read the posts from Delores. It might be a recipe, like Basil Lemon Green Tea, or Liquid Soap, or even why hand-made soap 'sweats', because of the glycerin in it. Incredible! Glycerin attracts moisture! I wasn't aware of that previously, and now I know why my skin feels so good after using it.
So, take time to visit Daisy Soap Girl blog, and perhaps Follow, or feed on it! It's worth your time.

A blog which I have had in my 'Bonza Blogs' blogroll, for simply ages, is Annie's 'blogger university' blog, strangely enough, called Blog U - creative blogging. For those 'furriners' who don't understand Aussie words, 'Bonza' means - bloody good!
As a blogger 'university', it lives up to its name. There's heaps of techie stuff there - from how to stuff about Border styles, to blog Templates and widgets. She says that she is a techie nerd, but she produces the goods, folks.
This blog is really worthwhile visiting on a regular basis, or, more sensibly, subscribe to a feed, or email updates.
Cheers.

Most of my readers know that I like to read blogs from far-off countries, with interesting tales, facts and scenery, presented in photos, and anecdotal fashion. "This is Ghana" is one such blog.
The blog owner, Gayle, lives in Bolga, (not the one in Norway), and actually needed help with a blogging concern, and found an answer on Roberto's Report, which makes me happy. I tracked her down via her profile and spent the last hour - fascinated.
This photo of an elephant crossing the road, would make me check reverse gear, but I suspect life there is unpredictable.
Well worth the visit, folks. I've added her to Blogs I Browse - AND, my Google Reader / Follower !

MY MISSION
The Blogs I write about, or introduce here, are the Best of the blogs I visit. My aim is to promote them so others may enjoy them, too.
No preferences are given.
If I think it's worth a visit, I write it up. I am not appraising good, or bad points. That's subjective. Just visit-ability and interest.
