About Diamond in the Rough
Welcome to Diamond in the Rough: a site that features blogs recommended by the best critics around -Fellow Bloggers!
For too long we’ve watched amazing blogs flounder quietly in the shadows of the blogosphere, outshone by less impressive bloggers and remaining unforgivably unknown. And we’ve had enough!
So the aim of the site is to give undiscovered gem-type blogs some publicity and get them the fame they deserve!
Does this ring any bells with you? Do you know any blogs that fill the following criteria:
- that they post frequently … at least four or five times a week.
- that they are nice and courteous bloggers …ie: take time to comment back when they can or drop you a Hey, Hi, How Are Ya, once in while …obviously you can’t always comment everyone back, but you can tell when a person makes an effort to pay back readers’ kindness
- that they don’t get 5million comments a day …cos those guys obviously don’t need our promotioning, lol!
- and that their writing and content genuinely keeps you coming back for more …and not that you visit their blog cos you’re their bessie or cos you both have a crazy obsession with Nazis ….
If so, then email theroughdiamonds2@gmail.com and let us know about them!
Oh and don’t forget that you can do your part in the fight for the Little Blogger by featuring this site on your own blog or putting us in your blogroll! Remember, every little helps!!!
And we’ll give you cake!*
*this is a blatant lie, but if we knew you and maybe lived on your road or in your apartment block, we would totally fulfil that promise!
Love this idea, you can come check my blog out anytime you want ;p
This is genius! Love it. I’ll send over some of my favorites. 🙂
I’m making my list, will be in touch! x
The blogosphere in general is a lovely place to be among.

Thanks for your speedy reply – quite understand how busy everyone is at this time of year!
Have added DITR to my sidebar in a prominent postion. Am also planning to include a link (& plug!) to it in an upcoming post so would be glad if you could add my blog “The Johnson Diaries, Life on the Edge” to the list of DITR’s Supporters in the sidebar above so that those who visit here get linked back to me & can read my personal recommendation.
Great idea – wish it’d been around when I began! That’s why I’m happy to do whatever I can to help others just starting…
Best wishes
Nora
