Today is Blog Day. Bloggers like myself around the world will be recommending 5 blogs to their readers. Last year I missed it by a few days, and this year I am glad I got it on time.

Here are 5 blogs I read and of which I invite you to explore. In no particular order:

Chris Brogan – Chris is a social media guru from the Boston area. I feel a lot of what he says is very grounded and practical, only as a fellow New England Yankee would.

User Effect – Peter “Dr. Pete” Meyers is a usability and SEO guru and writes about it in a very grounded and practical way as well. And he is from the Midwest.

Networking Insight – Jason Jacobsohn is a networking guru and a valued member of the entrepreneurial community in Chicago. He writes about networking and business in a grounded and practical way. I am seeing a pattern here!

Elliot's Blog – Elliot Silver is a domain name guru and his blog is a tremendous resource on the domaining industry, especially around developing domain names to Web sites. This native New Englander also writes in a very grounded and practical manner.

The Terrier Hockey Fan Blog – I am a college hockey fan, and my team is the Boston University Terriers. My best source for team information is this blog, and it’s written in a manner… well, you get the picture!

If you are a regular visitor to The Hot Iron you may have noticed a lull in posts for about a week. This was due to the arrival of my daughter, Margo. She is doing great and her Mom, my lovely wife, is doing awesome. Dad isn’t doing too bad either. Over the past couple of weeks we have been getting used to each other, and introducing each other into each other’s lives. As an entrepreneur whose corporate headquarters is at home, this means working all of our activities into each other’s schedules as well.

Where I am not driving Margo towards the computer, she is frequently in the office in some capacity, whether sitting in her papasan or on my shoulder (as she is as I write this). When I sat down to write this post, she for some unknown reason gravitated towards the keyboard and made motions similar to typing! I now present her first blog post:

\jh/vnn 4MT6;
oghvmdfs232
'/,.TMTDMDZVc, v,n/ik';9tk2mjxkccshfgv

As you can see, she has a little work to do on her sentence structure. This will be a continuous process, and once she is ready, look for guest posts from her on occasion.

As bringing a baby into the world is a great learning experience for anyone, I know already there will be some resonance with what I do in my business as an Internet consultant. Where I don’t plan on filling posts here with cutesy stories about my bundle of joy, there will surely be some influence from her on thoughts I have in the theme of The Hot Iron around business and technology.
