Over the past few years of being in the blogging business, I’ve found one thing to be the same for all bloggers; they have someone they think is the best blogger EVER!!! Even the guys who seemed to have invented this business have someone they read and/or quote on occasions. The thing is that not everyone clings to the same blogger. Some can’t breathe without reading the daily posts of the top bloggers, others spend hours skimming through the numerous posts of the mommy bloggers.

Today’s challenge comes down to who you think is the best and why? I don’t want to see posts that say “I read Mr. I.M. Blogger because he rocks”. Really? How? Why? I’d like to see posts about bloggers I’ve never heard of. People that helped you get to the point you’re at today. I want to know about the one blogger that truly made a difference in your blogging career and helped shape the person you’ve become.

So here we go:
Who’s The One Blogger We Should All Be Following And Why?

Please remember the rules before jumping in.

**Your entry must be an original post and must be posted on YOUR OWN site.
**Your entry must be a minimum of 350 words in length.
**You must mention Bloggers Challenge @ Blog Engage somewhere in the post with a link back to this post.
**And finally, when you’re post is finished, come back here and leave a link in the comments section. I can’t very well check out your stroke of genius if I can’t find it.

Please DO NOT leave your answers in the comments. I want to see blog posts. I want to see these on YOUR SITES!!! Once you’ve written your posts, leave me a link in the comments so I can come see them, and read them, and leave comments on your site.

And like last week, we’re giving away a month’s Gold Membership and a copy of Brian’s e-book, SEO Blogging For Marketers. I really want to see someone win this prize this week, so let’s all get our posts done and play along.

I’d really hope to see some entries this week, as I’d like to know who everyone out there considers to be their inspiration. I’ll be doing my own post for this, though I won’t be winning the prize. LOL. And thanks goes out to our own Brian Belfitt for doing a post on last week’s challenge and for being so kind as to offer up such a cool prize.
