NxE's Fifty Most Influential Bloggers, Organized By Category

Thanks for breaking all that down into subject categories. I would also be interested in a list of bloggers who succeed with the least amount of time and effort -- the "quick and dirty" approach.

My bet: that list is so short it may as well be empty. A good blog is hard work, and most of the top bloggers have been at it for years. Many others bloggers have worked hard for years without reaching the level of success they would like. For people who want to become an influential voice or get paid to blog, it's a very competitive business. (For people who just blog for fun and/or a small audience, it's not a business at all so there's no need to worry about money or influence.)

Thanks for the comments, Scott. Really enjoyed your comprehensive list and have already added a number of these blogs to my RSS (including yours).

Thanks again for the tip and hope to talk to you soon.
