Earlier in the year I added the topic of "Blogging Heroes" to my to-do list for my Bloggers You Should Know series. When I came to write it a few weeks ago I realised that I wasn't qualified (or informed) enough to write this post by myself. I didn't just want to highlight my favourite bloggers; I realised I wanted to know who were the bloggers that came to everyone's rescue every time - the ones that inspire, always deliver and help out whenever they can. I wanted to find some new (to me) blogs that were amazing and deserved some credit for the fantastic work they do.
So a couple of weeks ago I published a post asking my readers to nominate their blogging hero - and WOW did you deliver! I was amazed at how many amazing bloggers you nominated, and I'm so grateful to those of you that took the time to show your love to a blogger that you look up to and admire.
It was open to any blog of any country or niche, and as more than 50 bloggers were nominated I decided to split the post into two as otherwise it would have been far too long.
I'm personally looking forward to properly checking out all of these blogs myself (it'll take a while but I'll get there) - thank you SO much to all the readers who nominated someone. Please check out as many as you can, it's so great to read the reasons why they are heroes.
So here are your blogging heroes, part one, in the order they were nominated in. Let me know who you're glad to have found in the comments (and come back next Sunday 9th August for part two)!
